Summarize the following:
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.

If you created a password reset disk at an earlier date, you can use it to get back into Windows. If you didn’t create a password reset disk, try another method.   It’s just beneath the password blank. This will launch the Password Reset Wizard.  It’s usually called something like “Removable Disk.”  Enter it into the first blank, beneath the text “Type a new password.” This time, type it into the second blank, under “Type the password again to confirm.” You’ll do this in the third, final box on the screen. Type something that’ll make you remember the new password in case you forget it. If you see an error that says “An error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password,” you’re using the wrong password reset disk. This will close the password reset wizard. You should now be able to log in to Windows using your new account password.

summary: Try to log in to Windows. Click “OK” on the password error message. Connect your USB Password Recovery Disk to the computer. Click the “Reset password…” link. Click Next. Select your USB drive from the drop-down menu. Click Next. Type a new password. Type the password again. Enter a password hint. Click Next. Click Finish. Log into Windows.

To go from a dark surface to a lighter stain, you’ll need to apply a chemical wood stripper first. You can buy stripper at any home improvement store. Brush a thick coat of stripper onto the surface, then let it sit for 30 minutes to dissolve the finish. Use a plastic scraper or stiff-bristled brush to scrape off the dissolved finish.  Work in a well-ventilated room. Wear goggles and protective gloves when using stripper. Scrub the surface thoroughly with a mild detergent solution and steel wool before proceeding.  Refer to your stripper product’s instructions for additional details. Use a mild soap solution and microfiber cloth to wipe down a raw wood surface. If you’re applying gel stain over an existing finish, mix equal parts water and denatured alcohol to create a cleaning solution. Dip a microfiber cloth into it and wipe the surface down. Wipe off excess liquid with a paper towel.  Create a mild soap solution by combining 1 cup (240 ml) water with 1 teaspoon of mild dish detergent.  Let the surface air-dry completely before proceeding. Start off using a medium grit sandpaper, such as 120-grit. Sand the surface thoroughly, taking care to get into the nooks and crannies of the piece. Start on 1 side and work your way systematically to the other side to ensure an even and thorough job. After using medium grit sandpaper, sand the surface again using a fine grit, like 320-grit or 400-grit. The fine grit sandpaper gets rid of any remaining imperfections in the wood and gives you a perfectly smooth surface for applying the gel stain. If you’re working with a raw wood finish, follow up with 150-grit sandpaper. Using anything finer than that may prevent the surface from holding the stain well. Any dirt or sanding dust left on the surface of the wood will prevent you from getting an even stain and be visible once the stain dries. Use a dampened tack cloth or microfiber cloth to wipe down the entire surface. Be sure to get into the nooks and crannies. Gel stain can permanently stain both glass and metal, so mask off these areas before you apply it. For glass, cut thick paper down to size and use painter’s tape to attach it to the glass. Cover up hardware like knobs and hinges with painter’s tape.
summary: Strip the surface if you’re going from a dark color to a lighter stain. Clean the surface thoroughly. Sand the surface using 120-grit sandpaper. Follow up by using a 320-grit sandpaper. Wipe down the surface to remove lingering dust and debris. Protect glass and hardware with paper and blue painter’s tape.
