Quotes of the Day

Don't obsess over your sleep, especially if you're having problems. If you need an alarm clock, make sure it's turned away from you so you can't see the numbers. And if you find yourself worrying about poor sleep scores, give yourself a break from your sleep tracker. If you find yourself lying awake in bed, unable to get back to sleep, my advice is to stop fighting it. Get up, go into another room and do something relaxing. Fix a cup of tea (noncaffeinated, obviously), and read a (preferably boring) book until you feel sleepy again. If the sleeplessness persists, the most effective treatment is a form of psychotherapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I. Studies of CBT-I techniques have found that they're more effective than sleeping medications. [2023] - Peter Attia

Large picture at the top, headline underneath, body copy in two or three columns under the headline, logo and address in the bottom right-hand corner. Setting the headline in big, bold type.

Full-color gets more attention and gives a better impression than black and white. The simpler the layout, the better. Type should be set in black against a clear white background. [2005] - Robert W. Bly

You should always eat an early dinner. I recommend 6:00 p.m., assuming that you will go to bed after 11:00 p.m. [2015] - Jamie Koufman
