National Sleep Awareness Week (March 7-13th, 2011) it's time to help put an end to poor sleep habits right now!

Quote startLess than half of Americans admit to getting a good night's sleep.Quote end

 According to a study released by the National Sleep Foundation, only 42 percent of Americans admit to getting a good night's sleep. That's less than half! Like so many others, bloggers often forego sleep in favor of balancing family, friends, and work. Add on the time spent tweeting, updating Facebook, or checking into Four Square and the average blogger has very little time left for themselves.

The makers of the Sound Asleep™ Comfort Pillow are asking bloggers nationwide to join them in celebrating National Sleep Awareness Week by participating in the first ever One Week to Better Sleep Blogger Challenge. Developed with busy bloggers in mind, this weeklong health challenge is designed to help spread the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.

Not a blogger? That’s ok, take the challenge anyway! Visit the One Week to Better Sleep Blogger Challenge onFacebook (Facebook.com/TheSleepChallenge) to ‘like’ the page and join the challenge roster.

Step 1: Follow the seven nightly rules during National Sleep Awareness Week.

Step 2: Blog about the experience.

Step 3: Grab a challenge badge and share.

Sneak peak at challenge highlights: 

  •     Night #2 No alcohol or caffeine….
  •     Night #3 No sugary snacks…
  •     Night #7 No TVs or laptops…

 

The challenge runs Monday, March 7th through Sunday, March 13th. Come join and get healthy!

I am one of the lucky 42% who consitently get a good night's sleep, thanks to my favorite mattress. Just wanted to know if there was a Better Sleep challenge sponsored by a certain mattress maker.

It is true and I agree. Most Americans are deprived from sleep due to stress or conditions that hamper sleep. Lack of sleep weakens our health.

Because of our fast paced lifestyle, sleep is but a dream. With all of these pressures bombarding us, our busy mind keeps working even when we have already dozed off.

How the World Measures Happiness (It’s Not Just About Smiling)

I recently read a fascinating piece by Maham Javaid in the Washington Post analyzing the World Happiness Report . The report, produced by the Wellbeing Research Center at Oxford and the UN, looks beyond GDP to find what actually drives life satisfaction. I've always held the philosophy that happiness should be a state of mind—something that shouldn't depend on others. But I admit, that is difficult to adhere to. It's hard to stay internally happy when you don't receive kudos for extra effort, or when you find yourself analyzing praise to see if it was just an afterthought. While my own philosophy has always been that happiness shouldn't depend on others, the data suggests that for most of the world, happiness is inherently social. Here is what the top-ranking countries teach us: 🇫🇮 Finland: Material Security Finland takes the top spot, but not because they are outwardly the "happiest" people. It's about anxiety reduction.

The Philosophy of the Push: A Small Observation on Indian Doorways

The Philosophy of the Push: A Small Observation on Indian Doorways There is a specific moment of low-stakes confusion that happens when you travel. You approach a shop door, your muscle memory engages, you grab the handle to pull—and your arm jerks to a halt. The door doesn't budge. You look up, and there it is, often taped right next to a digital payment sticker: a sign that says PUSH. ❖ The Muscle Memory of Safety If you live in the West, your muscle memory is trained to "pull to enter" almost any commercial building. This isn't just a design quirk; it's usually a legal requirement born out of historical tragedy. Fire codes in the US and Europe dictate that exterior doors must swing outward—in the direction of egress. The logic is grim but sound: if a crowd inside panics and rushes the exit, their collective body weight should push the door open, not seal it shut. So, when I travel back to India, and I see doors like the one below, my Weste...

You start picking clothes of a certain color, and suddenly, it becomes your uniform. Try to change it, and everyone hates it.

Who Decided Your Favorite Color? (And Why You Can't Escape It) What role does color play in your life? It is a strange negotiation. Somehow, either you decide, or someone else decides for you, what your “favorite color” is. It starts innocently. You pick a blue shirt. It looks good. You buy another. A few years pass, and suddenly, you are “The Blue Shirt Guy.” Then, the trap snaps shut: The moment you try to change—maybe you experiment with a bold new shade—your spouse or friends hate it. You have been branded. The Illusion of Choice I have observed that we have less agency here than we think. Clothing companies seem to act as a cartel, releasing the exact same “new” colors every year. One year, I was inexplicably fascinated by fluorescent green. It was everywhere, so it was in my closet. But my safe zone remains firm: Blue, Pink, and Red for shirts. But pants? I tried...
