Increased acidification of your blood can increase orexin levels. One of the easiest ways to increase the acidification of your blood is to exercise! Getting 30 minutes of exercise each day is good for your overall health and can also increase orexin levels.  Interval training is a great way to increase orexin in your blood. If you can't commit to interval training, that's okay! As long as you exercise for 30 minutes every day, your orexin levels should increase. Leptin is a protein that can inhibit the production of orexin. Since leptin comes from fatty tissue in your body, losing weight can decrease the amount of leptin your body produces. Talk to your doctor about the healthiest way for you to lose weight. They can tell you how many calories you should be consuming each day and what sort of exercise is best. A good way to begin losing weight is through portion control. Instead of eating 2 or 3 helpings of each part of your meal, stick to 1 or 2. A nutritionist can also help you figure out what each portion should look like. Bright light therapy can help to increase the production of orexin in your body naturally. Sit by a bright light device for a few hours per day. You might find that you are less tired. You can find bright light devices from a lot of online retailers. Look for bright light devices that are meant for the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder. They're the same lights that will help increase orexin production.

If you wake up with dark bags, lay cucumber slices on your eyes for five to ten minuets. Cucumbers have a skin lightening effect that can help your eye area look revitalized. If you wake up with puffy eyes, hold a cold spoon or rag to your eyes for several minutes. The cold temperature will reduce eye inflammation almost immediately. Leave a cloth or spoon in the refrigerator the night before so it is ready for you the next morning. If you find yourself with drool crusted on your face in the morning, keep a box of tissues and a glass of water by your nightstand. This way, you can conveniently wipe your face when you wake up. Some people drool because allergies block their nose and cause them to breathe through their mouth. A nasal spray or medication can keep your nasal airways open, so you can close your mouth and limit the drool. Unfortunately, you cannot control all of your bodily functions while you sleep. If you wake up with eye crust, keep a box of tissues and glass of water next to your bed to quickly wipe your eyes in the morning. This will cleanse your pores before you start the day to give you a healthy glow. You can also consider using a illuminant serum that instantly lightens up your face, making it look more vibrant.

Knowing what you can and cannot do is important if you are confronted or arrested. These laws vary by region around the world, so it's important to do your homework and know your rights before you attend a protest.   In the US and many other countries, your free speech is protected, even if your ideas are controversial or unpopular.  In the US, you are allowed to demonstrate freely on public venues (streets, sidewalks, and parks) without prior permission in most cases. You generally need written permission from the owner if you wish to protest on private property.  Do prior research on the event. Make sure you know who's organizing it, what cause they are defending, and what they plan to do during the protest. Consider the risks and legal implications of participating. Make sure that the organizers have acquired any necessary permits for large rallies. Try to attend a protest with a group of friends or likeminded people. Have at least one close, trusted friend with you at a protest. You can keep an eye on one another. In the event one of you is arrested, you will have someone to notify friends and family members of your whereabouts. You do not want to get involved in any illegal activities during a protest. This can put your safety at risk, and may land you in legal trouble. If you notice illegal activities, back away carefully.  Stay away from side streets. Remaining in the open will prevent you from getting caught in violence, which often occurs on the sidelines during protests. If a large amount of police suddenly arrive a scene, this may quickly escalate to violence. Leave the area quickly in this event. Keep your distance from the black bloc. If you see a group of people wearing all black and with their faces covered, try to march further away from them. They occasionally vandalize symbols of wealth (banks, limousines) and police often respond violently to their tactics. Try to move if people are trying to pass you. If the crowd is moving in one direction, go with the crowd if they're not engaging in anything risky or illegal. If you get in anyone's way, you may get knocked over. This can lead to major injuries if a lot of people step on you. Try to stay out of the way as much as possible during protests.

One-sentence summary -- Know your rights. Stick with a group. Back away from violence safely. Do not get in the way of others.


Even if you’ve grown up in a more casual environment where you usually call your friends’ parents by their first names, you shouldn’t assume that all older people are comfortable with that kind of informal title. Some elderly people may be more traditional, and prefer that you call them Mr./Mrs. So-and-So.  Always ask what name they prefer you call them. Use sir or ma'am when you don't feel comfortable asking. If they ask you to call them by name, then respect their request and do so! Continuing calling them by something else would be disrespectful. People can often lose strength, balance, and agility as they age, which can make some everyday activities that we take for granted more difficult. Providing even the smallest assistance may help make their day a little easier, and demonstrate your respect in a courteous, thoughtful manner.  It’s always polite to hold the door open for the people behind you, but it can be especially helpful for older people with canes or walkers. When you’re on public transportation, such as the subway, train, or bus, consider offering your seat to an elderly person, who might need to rest more than you. If you’re at the store, offer to reach for items on shelves that might be too high or low for an older person to reach. You might also offer to carry an elderly person’s bags to the car or unload their cart into the trunk. Older people usually don’t move as quickly as they used to when they were younger, which means it can take them longer to do even the simplest of tasks, such as crossing the street. Be respectful by showing some patience when you encounter them instead of trying to hurry them along.  If an elderly person is slow to get off the bus, subway, or elevator, or just walking down the street, don’t push past them. Let them take their time, so they are comfortable and don’t injure themselves. Don’t huff and puff if an older person on line in front of you at a store takes a little longer to pay for their items. Instead, try to be understanding -- you might even offer to help by lifting items out of the cart or bagging groceries. While many elderly people do have health issues that require special assistance, some of them don't have these issues. Assuming that an older person has poor eyesight or hearing can be extremely condescending and make them feel self-conscious.  If you’re unsure whether an older person has a vision or hearing issue, just ask. Don't be rude about it. Don't ask outright "Do you have hearing issues?" Instead, try a gentler approach, such as: "Am I speaking too softly?"
