This Easy Bedtime Trick Could Help You Fall Asleep Faster
A busy brain can make bedtime feel like the worst part of the day. The technique is called cognitive shuffling, or Serial Diverse Imagining, Calm.com reported in a blog post on the sleep method. It was developed by Dr. Luc Beaudoin, a cognitive scientist, and is designed to help people fall asleep by giving the brain random, simple, emotionally neutral images to picture. The idea is not to force the mind to go blank. Instead, the method gently moves attention away from planning, worrying, and replaying the day. A bedtime method designed to mimic early sleep patterns is getting atte…

Daylight Saving Time Earlier End Coming: When To 'Fall Back'
Evening darkness will arrive a little sooner this fall. The annual time change is set, and there are a few things to know before the clocks move. Daylight Saving Time in the US ends Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025. At 2 a.m. local time, clocks turn back to 1 a.m., which effectively adds an extra hour of sleep and shifts more light to the morning.

Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time, although the Navajo Nation does. Since 2007, most of the country has followed a …

Many are adopting small habits to support that goal, including getting better sleep, eating nourishing meals, and moving their bodies in ways that simply feel good. The shift reflects a growing interest in gut health and mind-body connection. In fa…

Follow these simple strategies to avoid putting on the pounds this holiday season.

So why do we gain weight this time of year? “Many people who generally manage their weight y…
