Article: Lavender is a scientifically proven natural calming fragrance and nighttime sprays are available at your local health store. Just spray a little on your pillow and find yourself floating off to sleep. Chamomile is an excellent calming tea that for some is a powerful, all natural sleep-aid. It is most potent if you can find it in bulk, organic form but even tea bags will help ease you into a fitful sleep. A hormone that controls sleep, melatonin is a safe, all natural sleep aid that works wonders. Take a low dose, approximately .3-.5mg, before bed and relax. Another all natural sleep remedy, numerous studies have found that valerian improves every facet of sleep including the ability to fall asleep. About 200-800mg before bed should do the trick. A small percentage of people, roughly 10%, get the reverse effect from valerian, meaning it gives them energy. Try this one at home ahead of time to make sure it has the right effect on you.

Article: Products like hairdryers and hair straighteners are great for people with curly hair who want to switch their style up, but they are terrible at damaging and drying out hair. If you use these heat-based products on a regular basis, you will get more split ends and damaged hair. Try to avoid drying and straightening your hair as much as possible. Using a diffuser to dry your hair is better because it will not damage your hair as badly as a hairdryer. Don't towel dry your hair; only dab the towel over your hair to soak up water. This prevents tangles and breaks. You can then brush your hair out with a wide-tooth comb. Brushing curly hair is a bad idea because it can break the strands and further damage your hair. Try to use a wide-toothed comb to gently detangle your hair instead of ripping through tangles with a brush. Swimming is a fun summertime activity, but if you have curly hair the chlorine can be very harmful. If you go swimming, make sure you use a shampoo and conditioner that helps against chlorine damage to your hair. Curly hair can lose a lot of its length from the curl itself. So make sure your stylist cuts your hair when it is fully dry so you know that you’re getting the style you want. Cotton pillowcases soak up moisture from your (already dry) curly hair, so try using a satin or silk pillowcase instead. This will also prevent friction and breakage while you sleep.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid heat. Pat your hair dry with a towel. Avoid brushing your hair. Protect against chlorine. Get a haircut when your hair is dry. Use a satin pillowcase.
Article: Sexual thoughts or dissatisfaction might come from another sort of dissatisfaction: hunger. So, don’t to skip meals. Try to eat three, healthy balanced meals per day, and remember to hydrate as well, particularly during hot weather. To keep your mind sharp enough to ward off sexual thoughts, try eating brain foods like celery, spinach, walnuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, beets, and even dark chocolate! Obviously, exercising is healthy itself, but it also does a few specific things that help damper sexual preoccupations. Exercise can be engrossing and distracting, and when you work out hard enough, other distractions have a tendency of receding into the background. Exercise provides a natural endorphin rush. Endorphins provide a generally good feeling, and help relieve depression. During sex, endorphins are also released, along with other chemicals like the hormone oxytocin. Ergo, exercise can be a good substitute for sexual activity. While playing an individual sport, you may have difficulty getting away from your own thoughts. With team sports, you’re much less likely to have this problem because they are social activities. Choose the right type of sport and team. Of course, you may still be attracted to someone else on your team or in your league, but you should be able to determine whether the benefits of playing outweigh the risk of worsening your thoughts about sex. You might also try joining a single-sex team or a different league, for example. When you’re tired, you might have trouble focusing. Lack of sleep reduces your alertness and concentration, and it can affect your mood. So, you’ll have difficulty preventing your mind from wandering to sex, and it will be harder to implement the sex-free thought practices above. Make sure your bed is comfortable and that you’re getting eight hours of sleep and deep sleep or REM sleep.
