Article: Thinking about your to-do list and your worries can keep you up at night. Try to get all of those thoughts out of your head before you lie down to go to sleep.  Keep a journal next to your bed and write out your to-do list and thoughts before you go to sleep. Have everything you need for the next day organized and planned out so you're not thinking about it as you're trying to fall asleep. Have a routine you perform each night before you go to bed. This can include doing a calm activity and going to bed at the same time each night. Creating consistency with good habits can help you relax and enter into sleep more easily. Remove screens (such as a television, tablet, or phone) from your bedroom. You may want to designate a cutoff time for use, such as 1-2 hours before bed. Find an activity to helps you feel calm, relaxed, and a bit sleepy. This activity should help you deal with stress and anxiety as well as make you feel good. This might include reading, coloring, journaling, meditating, doing yoga, stretching, or petting your dog. The activity need not be traditionally relaxing but should feel relaxing to you. For example, you might feel relaxed by doing some woodwork or stamp collecting. Herbal tea can help relax you and put your body into a calm state. Get in the habit of drinking tea each night before bed and making it part of your calming ritual. An ingredient called L--theanine is found abundantly in tea leaves and can help the body feel calm and relaxed without sedation or risk of dependence.  Prepare yourself a cup of uncaffeinated herbal tea each night to encourage your body to relax and go to sleep peacefully. Try chamomile, licorice, or another calming tea you enjoy. If you don't like tea, try warm milk or water before bed instead. If you struggle to calm your mind and body before bed, try taking a soothing bath. Infuse the bath water with a smell you enjoy and that brings you peace. Letting your body relax into the warm water can help your mind begin to relax, too. Don’t let any anxious thoughts come into your space while bathing. If they do come in, let them pass without latching on to them or entertaining them. Progressive muscle relaxation can help with reducing nightmares. You can do it while you lay down in your bed. Start by tensing and relaxing different muscles in your body, starting from your toes and moving up toward your face. Relaxing your body can help you feel calm and release any anxiety and stress out of your body before you fall asleep. Download a guided-meditation app on your smartphone or tablet and listen to it while you're trying to fall asleep. Look for an app that has a sleep-meditation option. You can listen to the guided meditation using headphones, or you can set your phone or tablet on your nightstand. Take slow, deep breaths, and count to 5 on each inhale and exhale. Try holding your breath for a few seconds between your inhales and exhales. Deep-breathing exercises can help you relax and fall asleep easier. Make your bed a worry-free zone. When you get inside your bedroom or into your bed, don’t entertain anxious thoughts. When you notice an anxious thought, let it float in and out of your awareness without entertaining it. If you struggle not to entertain your anxious thoughts, keep a worry journal. Allow yourself to write down all of your worries before bed, then close the journal to put your worrying to sleep, too. Alcohol and drugs, including sleep aids, can disrupt your sleep and contribute to nightmares. If you drink alcohol, drink a lot of caffeine, or take drugs, notice how they affect your sleep and if they trigger nightmares. You may benefit from cutting back or eliminating your consumption altogether. If you drink caffeine in the afternoon, try cutting back and not drinking caffeine late in the day.

Article: Flavor shots are sweetened and flavored syrups that you can add to coffees and other drinks. They come in a variety of flavors, and you can buy them at grocery stores and some cafes. Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of syrup to each demitasse after you pull the espresso shot. Popular shots to add to macchiatos include vanilla, caramel, and chocolate. Macchiatos are not traditionally served with whipped cream, but you can still garnish your drink with a little whip if you like. After adding any flavor shots and pouring the milk, spoon or spray a small dollop of whipped cream on top of the beverage. Grated chocolate is a delicious way to finish an espresso beverage, especially if you’ve got some whipped cream on top already. When your macchiato is ready, shave a block of chocolate shavings directly onto the milk or whipped cream. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate to garnish your drink. Another way to change the flavor of your macchiato is to add a dash of ground cinnamon to the top after the milk has been poured. If you're getting your macchiato with whipped cream, sprinkle the cinnamon on last. Other spices you can try with your macchiato include nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.

Article: You can use the same trimmer you use for your beard to save money or you can purchase a new one. Since it’s very easy to clean trimmers—both electric and non-electric—this is really a matter of preference. There are a variety of electric clippers—both with and without cords—available online and in stores. Most electric clippers come with guards. Another option is to go with a non-electric trimmer to avoid the hassle of plugging in or charging your trimmer. The Gillette power fusion razor and trimmer is a non-electric option that can be purchased in stores and online and it comes with guards for setting the length. Guards are the attachments, also known as spacers, that can be affixed to the clipper or trimmer to determine how much hair the trimmer or clipper will leave uncut. Guards should come with the trimmer and most trimmers come with guards ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch. If you’re cutting off a lot of hair, you may want to avoid trimming in the bathtub, as this could clog the drain. One option is to spread out towels on the bathroom floor to collect the hair. Another option is to simply trim your hair in an area that is easy to sweep. If you have access to a private space outdoors, consider trimming your hair outside to avoid having to clean up. If you do trim your hair in the bath tub, a damp paper towel can be used to collect the hair from the sides and base of the tub so you can dispose of it in the trash to keep it from going down the drain.
