Many studies have confirmed what your mother told you: We need to sleep about 7.5 to 8.5 hours a night. Getting significantly less sleep than this, or significantly more, will almost inevitably cause problems in the long run.

Sleep is essential to performance in dangerous tasks, such as driving. [2023] - Peter Attia

Rules for profile photo perfection: 1) Two or three close-ups (a simple smile will work best on less quirky sites); 2) One to two action shots (action shots are great conversation starters); 3) One to two full-length pictures (flaunt what you've got with flattering, form-fitting clothes); 4) Represent the real-time you (avoid uploading photos that are more than two years old); 5) Cropping makes you clickable (e.g. cropping a photo closely to one side of your face will remove symmetry to give the image a more casual look). [2013] - Laurie Davis

People are sensitive to other people in their work or home environment. Whenever someone considers making a purchase, he or she thinks about how other people may respond to that purchase decision.

If there is a chance that the prospect will be criticized by his boss or spouse for making a particular purchase, he will refrain from making that purchase altogether. [2004] - Brian Tracy
