If you are used to watching TV or doing work in bed, you may find it harder to relax and to think of the bed as a place to sleep. Ideally, your entire bedroom should be designated as a sleeping zone and not an activity zone.  If have no choice but to spend your waking hours in your bedroom, consider adding a comfortable beanbag chair or a small couch into your room for activities like working and watching television, instead of using your bed. Make sure to actually sleep in your bed. You will not get great quality sleep if you fall asleep on the couch. If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room, it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and serotonin.  If you can't block out every stream of light, or if your partner has a different schedule than you, try wearing an eye mask to bed. Keep the light off when you go to the bathroom at night too. Turn off the television and any music that contains lyrics, and try to block out as much noise from the outside world as you possibly can. Some people find the sound of white noise, which drowns out background sounds, or natural noises, such as the ocean or forest, to be soothing for sleep. If this helps you sleep, try getting a white noise machine or turning on a fan. You will sleep better if you are neither too cold nor too hot. The ideal temperature for optimal sleep is 60-67 degrees F (15.5-20 degrees C). Your body temperature decreases for sleep and these cooler temps can actually help you fall asleep more quickly, too. Because they have the poorest circulation, the feet often feel cold before the rest of the body. Wearing socks to bed can help keep you nice and toasty. Your alarm clock should be loud enough to wake you up, but not so loud that you are startled out of a deep sleep. You can try using one with a more soothing alarm or consider switching to a clock that will wake you up with light.  If you are regularly getting enough sleep, you might find that you no longer need an alarm clock to wake up on time. Your phone is not a great alarm clock because it may disturb you with texts and emails. Try to avoid alarm clocks that emit blue light, as this can disturb your sleep. If you do have a clock, try not to look at it when you wake up during the night. If you find yourself doing this frequently, turn the clock away from you, move it across the room, or get a clock that has a sleep setting. Make sure your mattress and pillow are providing you with enough support and comfort. If you have been sleeping on the same mattress and pillow for many years, it might be time for an upgrade.

Summary: Keep your bed for sleeping and sex. Make your room as dark as possible. Keep it quiet. Set a comfortable temperature. Choose the right alarm clock. Get comfortable.


It isn’t hard to construct a simple standing desk setup yourself. All you’ll need is a few basic materials: a desktop or tabletop piece, lumber or pipes to serve as the legs of the desk and tools for measuring, mounting and adjusting. After that, it’s just a matter of arriving at the right dimensions and putting it all together.  Many DIY desk builders recommend starting with pieces like the Gerton table or Viktor shelf from IKEA, then fitting them with customized legs separately.  With the right base components, you can cobble together a standing desk that’s made to fit your needs for less than $100. Buy the materials you’ll be using for the legs in the right specifications. You also have the option of modifying them later based on the initial body measurements you took. Wooden boards or posts can be sawed to the exact size you need and will be easiest to work with and fine-tune. If you prefer to use metal pipes for the base, double check their length and width before you take them home.  Use a tape measure, T-square and level to ensure that the specifications of your standing desk are precise. A person of average height (somewhere between 5’7” and 5’11”) will likely have the best results with a desk that’s about 3’-4’ tall. Center the desktop with the base. The base should be flat and spaced relatively wide to allow taller desks to stand without wobbling or leaning. Use wood screws to secure wooden legs to a wooden desktop. Metal legs and stands should be bolted into place for added stability.  Measure a couple times to avoid making careless mistakes. Test the sturdiness of your desk before you begin piling your things on it. If you’re feeling particularly crafty, you can add clamping joints at the intersection of your desk’s legs that will enable you to control its height. That way, you'll have just one desk that functions as both a sitting and standing workspace. Adjustable desks can be useful if you don’t have enough space for a dedicated standing desk, or you’re not willing to make a permanent commitment just yet.  Constructing an adjustable desk will require you to use telescoping legs. These legs must be made from pipes of a couple of different diameters that can slide into one another to let you find just the right height. Adjustable desks are a great compromise that make it easier to heed physicians’ suggestions to split your time between standing and sitting.

Summary: Purchase some inexpensive materials. Set the base at the right height. Attach the legs to the desktop. Make the desk adjustable.


One of puberty's clearest indicators is when you start getting hairs in unexpected places. For boys, it is likely to include facial hair, underarm hair, more hair on the legs and chest, and pubic hair. Girls are likely to spot hair growth on the underarms and in the pubic area. Acne is a common adolescence symptom which is caused by increased secretion of oils and grease in the pores, and bacteria infecting them. If you've got acne, you're almost certainly going through puberty. You may find that it took you a year to manage a couple of inches before, you're gaining inches in height faster than you can count them! If this is you, and you're 10-13, you've probably started puberty.  If your appetite suddenly takes a leap like it's never leapt before, that's a sign of puberty, too. It may sound gross, and it's true - the smell is hardly appealing. If you find you get stronger-smelling sweat and more of it, even when you're not actually hot, you've probably started puberty.
Summary: Look out for hair growth. Look for acne. Think about your growth and energy. Look out for signs of more sweating.
