10 Things to Do for a Relaxing Sleep
1. Let's start with the hardest one! Try to dine and go to bed roughly at the same time (Pro tip: take your time between those two things). This way, your body has a routine and does not need to adapt to an unpredictable rhythm, thus, easier sleep comes.

How to Dump a Mean Doctor
In order to be a happy person, you have to be around happy people who do not have a need to bring you down. Seeking out happiness means you need to be around positive individuals. I had a doctor who said gleefully that without my government help, I’d be a homeless bum. Well, thanks, that’s not funny. She laughed about this way too long, which is why I told her not to speak to me like that. Then I decided after I went home from this visit, to dump her, because I will not withstand being talked to like that.

Feeling Good Inside Again by Changing Your Appearance
There is no point in denying it—we all pay attention to our appearances. Even when it seems that we don’t care and just go au natural, there is a myriad of ways we can achieve that amazing natural look. But the problem with our look doesn’t come with the procedures and things we do to look great, but with the way we perceive ourselves.

Grandma's Cookbooks and Special Recipe Box Versus America's Obesity Problem
I have the good recipes! After grandma passed away, I inherited her recipe box and cookbooks full of tasty and nutritious recipes from the good old days. I suppose that I could substitute some of the ingredients in her recipes. However, grandma's recipes would not taste the same.

The Benefits of Removing Negative Energy
Have you ever felt so drained that all you wanted to make it all better was solitude and tons of sleep? When this occurs, we tend to push our loved ones away. Sitting at home with the phone off the hook, ignoring the doorbell and missing school, work, or any other extracurricular activities outside of the home just because you don't have the energy to deal with others.

What Life Is Really About
Life is an exciting adventure that we have here in this world. Life is wonderful, marvelous, and awesome. Life is about living, creating, making and doing things that makes you happy. Life is an opportunity for us to learn and grow in many things, to experience things, and to gain learnings and lessons through our own experiences. In life, we grow and learn as we experience many stages in our lives.

Eliminate or Manage Insomnia, and Learn to Love It
It's 3:16 AM here, and despite the levels of savagery in my not-sarcastic sarcasm and my ability to function solely relying on my dependency of strong coffee, my body refuses to allow me the basic human necessity of sleep. I'm going strong into my fourth/fifth year of being a committed insomniac, but hey, by this stage, I'm basically a pro at dealing with it so I thought I should impart some wisdom onto my fellow sleep depraved humans.

4 Lies You've Been Told About Living With Male-Pattern Baldness
I accepted the fate of my hair (what was left of it, anyway) about two years ago, after spending a lot of time in denial about going bald. Ever since, I've spent a great deal of time researching facts about why it happened and how to keep up and deal with my interesting new look. I have grown to love it, and couldn't imagine life any other way. I've learned many things while maintaining a bald head, namely that many of the things I've heard about it are in fact false.

10 Things to Know When You Love Someone with Epilepsy
The love of my life was diagnosed with epilepsy at just five-years-old. He became familiar with emergency protocol and nasty pills crushed up in vanilla pudding long before most children even know what a neurologist is. Our life as a couple began nearly six years ago, and since then I have learned a lot about the disorder and the factors surrounding it. Whether you are trying to connect with a friend reeling from a fresh diagnosis, have a child with epilepsy, or just want to get to know the condition a little better, there are plenty of resources here and all over the internet. Epilepsy—like many neurological disorders—is a condition with a huge spectrum of severities and symptoms, and not everyone will have the same experiences. That being said, below are 10 things that are nice to know while loving someone with epilepsy.

How to Treat a Sprained Ankle
I messed up my right ankle two weeks straight back in January and I was rendered unable to do much except stay home and write, also being forced to drive everywhere instead of burning calories by walking. Twisting an ankle is not the same thing as spraining an ankle. Ankles that are swollen are sprained. I saw my psychiatrist one day to ask her what to do, then I went to urgent care. Repeated or severe sprains can cause joint pain. Ankle sprains come from moving your feet too fast. I imagine it happened when I walked to Target with my cart to get food. I walked home that day, and I think that’s when it might have happened.
