Problem: Article: A crew sock that comes past your ankle will work well for this, but you can also use a knee sock as well. Do not use an ankle sock; it won't be long enough to drape around your neck. Plan on using about 2 to 3 cups (370 to 555 grams) of rice. You can pour the rice straight into the measuring cup; if the cup isn't big enough to hold all the rice, use another container that has a spout. This will make it easier to pour the rice. Place the pillow into the fridge or freezer to keep it nice and cool. When you need to use it, drape it around your neck. Most socks have a natural arch to them, so you can drape this part around the back of your neck. You can also heat the pillow up in the microwave at 1-minute intervals until it reaches the temperature you want. Shake the pillow between each interval.
Summary: Get a clean, colorful sock. Pour enough uncooked rice to fill your sock into a measuring cup. Use the pillow.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Coffee and other caffeinated drinks, such as soda, energy drinks, tea, and hot chocolate, are stimulates. They make it very difficult to fall asleep, particularly if they are consumed later on in the day. If someone you know is having trouble sleeping, it could be because of caffeine consumption. Encourage them to stop drinking caffeinated drinks around 12:00PM, and remind them that the effects of caffeine last four to seven hours.  Likewise, fatty and sugary foods are difficult for the body to digest and can cause indigestion and stomach aches. These issues can make sleep difficult, so they should not be consumed later in the day. Suggest gradually reducing the amount of caffeine the person consumes in a day. For instance if they drink three cups of coffee, reduce that to two and a half for a week, and then to two cups the following week. Alcohol before bed can increase anxiety, making it more difficult to sleep. If the person enjoys drinking at night, his or her last drink should be three hours before bed. In addition, they should limit themselves to two or three drinks for the entire day. Suggest that the person wake up at the same time everyday, including the weekends. Importantly, they should wake up at the same time regardless of what time they managed to fall asleep the night before. This should be done even if the person has a hard time waking up in the morning. By sticking the the same wake up time, their body will begin to adjust to a new schedule, and become tired at a certain time each night. This will aid in falling asleep. A regular exercise routine has multiple benefits for sleep. Firstly, it will help reduce anxiety that can cause sleeplessness. Secondly, it will help the person become tired. Walking has been shown to be the best exercise to promote sleep.

SUMMARY: Cut down on the coffee and fatty foods. Eliminate alcohol close to bed time. Establish a regular schedule. Exercise during the day.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on your health and physical abilities, this could be anything from a walk to a run or swim, to going to the gym and lifting weights. The key for weight loss is to get your heart rate up to between 75% and 85% of your maximum heart rate. Increasing your muscle mass will boost your resting metabolism, meaning that you will burn more calories even when sedentary.  Lift weights, do yoga, or take up pilates. Any type of strength training will build muscle and help you lose weight.  Be sure to give yourself at least a day off between weight-training sessions so that your muscles have time to rest repair themselves. High-intensity exercise will keep you burning more calories, longer, than low to moderate intensity workouts. Aim for an intense aerobics class or bursts of jogging or running during your walks. Beyond exercising and building muscle, you can boost your weight loss by simply moving around more every day.  Walk around when you’re talking to a friend on the phone. Lift weights while watching TV. Go for a walk with a friend instead of sitting and having a drink.
Summary: Exercise for 30 to 60 minutes every day. Build muscle. Do aerobics. Move around every day.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A mirror shine is an ultra-glossy finish on leather. It is a common finish on dress shoes. If you have a pair of shoes or other leather item that has a wax mirror shine on it, then you might need to purchase a special product to get the wax off. Purchase a bottle of leather wax remover in the shoe department of a store or online. Apply the product to a rag or soft cloth and wipe it over the surface of the leather. Continue to apply and wipe the surface until the mirror glaze is completely gone. Mirror glaze can be difficult to remove.  Press hard as you wipe down the surface of the leather item. Fill an empty spray bottle about 1/4 to 1/2 full with rubbing alcohol. Then, spray a light layer of alcohol all over your leather item. Apply enough alcohol so that the item is damp but not drenched. Allow the alcohol to dry completely to give your leather a dull, weathered look.  You can also use a toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to apply it to hard-to-reach spots. Alcohol dries quickly, so you should notice the effect within 5 minutes of applying the product. Acetone nail polish remover can lighten or even remove the dyes used to color your leather. Pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or soft cloth, and rub the cotton ball or cloth over any spots you want to lighten. Focus on areas that might naturally fade first, such as the bottom corners of bags or the elbow creases of jackets. This technique will work differently depending on the quality and color of the dye. You may not be able to completely remove the color on a dark leather item.
Summary:
Use a wax stripping product to remove a mirror shine. Spray the item with rubbing alcohol to create a dull, weathered look. Apply acetone nail polish remover to remove color and shine.
