Quotes of the Day

Sleep doctors have a saying: An early nap adds to the previous night of sleep but a late nap subtracts from the upcoming night of sleep. It's vitally important that the nap be scheduled. Shortly after lunchtime is the time when we experience a natural increase in our daytime sleepiness. Many sleep researchers and many cultures believe this is not only a great time to nap, but that we were evolutionarily designed to nap at this time. The duration of your nap is important. A 20-30 minute nap is an ideal duration to provide a boost to your wakefulness without leading to post-nap funk (PNF). [2017] - W. Chris Winter

Supplements are far, far less regulated than medicines, so if I do take a supplement, I look for a large manufacturer with a good reputation, seek highly pure molecules (more than 98% is a good guide), and look for "GMP" on the label, which means the product was made under "good manufacturing practice." Nicotinamide riboside, or NR, is converted to NMN, so some people take NR instead of NMN because it's cheaper. Cheaper still are niacin and nicotinamide, but they don't seem to raise NAD levels as NMN and NR do. [2019] - David A. Sinclair

One quality that should be looked at for both potential partners, prior to marriage, is the tendency to find fault, to attribute blame, to make the other person wrong, and to need to portray oneself as always "right." The more pessimistic a person is, the more likely they are to be obstreperous. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren
