A bad dream can make you wake up suddenly. This shocks your body and the fear can increase your heart rate. Use the technique of tensing and relaxing each muscle group to bring your heart rate down to a normal level and help you fall back asleep. Focusing on the tension and relaxation may also further distract your thoughts from your bad dream. Tense and release each muscle group in your body starting at your toes and ending at your head. Tense each muscle group for 10 seconds and then release it for 10 seconds. Taking a deep breath in between each muscle can further relax you. A bad dream can increase your heart rate and it may also cause rapid breathing and anxiety. Taking a few minutes to meditate can lower your heart rate, return your breathing to normal, decrease anxiety, and increase relaxation. In turn, this can help you not only fall back asleep, but may divert lingering memories of the bad dream.  Breathe naturally without controlling it to help relax you and bring your heart rate back to normal more quickly. Let your thoughts to come and go as they will. This can help you relax and more easily let go of your bad dream. Repeat “let” every time you breathe in and “go” every time you exhale if you are having a hard time meditating. Bad dreams can cause a lot of emotional and physical symptoms including sweating. Taking off any restrictive bedding can help you cool off, lower your heart rate, and help you fall asleep more easily.  Take off only enough bedding to help you stay cool and comfortable. Cover yourself enough to minimize chills and help you feel safe. Having increased body temperature may make it more difficult to fall asleep.  Change your bedding if you’ve soaked it during a bad dream. This can help you forget the dream, relax you, and help you fall back asleep.

Summary: Tense and relax muscles to fall asleep. Meditate to calm yourself to sleep. Peel off restrictive bedding.


Take semi-frozen steak and cut it thinly. Fry up onions and peppers and remove when ready, about 5 minutes. Start to cook the steak, chopping thoroughly with a sharp spatula when almost cooked. Mix your onions and peppers with your chopped steak. You have two options here about how to heat up your roll and/or cheez wiz:  Option 1: Toast your hoagie roll and then smother the hot bread with cheez wiz. This will give the bread a nice crispiness, but the cheez wiz won't stay hot as long. Option 2: Warm your cheez wiz in the microwave. Pick up melted cheese with a spatula and deposit on the roll.

Summary: Follow the same general process to cook the meat. Line your hoagie roll with a generous portion of cheez wiz. Scoop steak and onions into roll coated with cheez wiz. Enjoy. Finished.


An unhealthy snake won't want to eat. If you suspect your snake is sick, take it to the vet to have it checked out before you try feeding it again. Also, make sure the cage fits the snake's environmental needs. If it doesn't, it may not want to eat.  Look for changes in behavior, which can indicate your snake is sick. Lethargy, skin changes, mouth discharge, diarrhea, vomit, swelling, and weight loss can all indicate sickness.  If you aren't providing the right temperature gradients for your snake, it won't want to eat. Place the rodent in an empty plastic container with air holes. Move the snake into the container and let it find the rodent. Once the snake has eaten the rodent, move it back into its main cage.  Placing the snake and rodent in an empty container removes other distractions and helps the snake focus on the rodent. Some snakes don't like being handled before being fed, so it's really just trial and error to see if that helps. Spray a gentle mist on the snake and rodent. It will encourage the snake to move around. Plus, it will make the rodent smell a little more so the snake will want to come after it. Start by washing the thawed prey in warm water and drying it. Place it in a sealed container with the thing you want to get the scent of, for example a dead frog or a bird feather. It won’t take long for the smell to transfer. You can scent frozen prey with bedding that smells like other animals. For example, gerbil bedding can be a good choice to scent prey for stubborn ball pythons. Don’t rub animal droppings onto the prey because this can transfer bacteria. Present the scented prey to the snake the same way you normally would.

Summary: Ensure the snake is healthy and happy. Try putting the snake in an empty container with the rodent. Spray the rodent and snake with warm water to encourage activity. Disguise the prey with a more appealing scent.
