Expert Advice on When to Work Out for Better Sleep
Because of the production of stress hormones like cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, exercising close to bedtime, especially during high-intensity workouts, would only make sleep worse. This is because timing is important when it comes to the relationship between physical activity and the enhancement of sleep. These could make it difficult to fall asleep. Even though research shows that nighttime exercise reduces the overall amount of time spent sleeping, exercises with a lower intensity, such as yoga or stretching, performed a few hours before bedtime may enhance melatonin levels, reduce stress, and lower body temperature, all of which contribute to a more restful sleep.

Aim not to cuss the lead. Content Warning.
Aim not to cuss the lead No doubt, I ain't never seen a more disagreeable, no-decent hoard than that Horace. "Prize champ my eye," I mumbled faintly as I retied the rope that affixed the entryway shut for what felt like the 100th time. Each time I shut him in, he'd discover a smart method for getting hisself free once more, and I'd need to go pursue him and catch him and toss him back in there. It appeared to be an everyday event, and a fraction of the time I was unable to try and perceive how he got out in the first place.

Unexpected and Delightful | Thornhedge Review
I absolutely loved Thornhedge, again bewildered and amazed by Kingfisher and her work. Storytelling This was not the story I was expecting. However, with Kingfisher, I have learned to expect the unexpected. This is a retelling, of sorts, of Sleeping Beauty. Toadling was stolen from her human family as a child and raised by the fairies, safe and loved.

"The Dangers of Smoking in Bed" A Review of Mariana Enriquez's Collection of Short Horrors
Disturbing, disgusting, and somehow... cozy? If you were to ask me what three words I would use to describe, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez, those would be them. Maybe 'cozy' isn't the right word, though. The more appropriate term might be more along the lines of 'sublime,' although not in the traditional sense. That being said, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed are not traditional horror stories.
