Something New

In keeping with the latest trend in blogging - who am I kidding? I have no idea what is the latest trend in blogging. It's just that the two blogging gurus that I know (Randy and Shawn) seem to have some kind of special subject or quiz or give away or theme on Fridays. And to avoid doing my own creative thinking, I decided to simply mimic the big boys.

So here is the first (and maybe last) installment in my attempt to communicate through the written word.

Factoid Friday!!!!

Taken from the pages of my latest issue of Men's Health, did you know that socks may help you fall asleep faster? That's right, according to page 38 of the March 2007 issue of Men's Health Magazine, Dutch researchers observed 8 people on 6 different occasions. On each of those occasions, they changed what these people wore to bed and what routine they followed prior to going to bed. Then they measured how long it took each of them to fall asleep. People who wore socks to bed fell asleep 27 percent faster than those people who went to bed barefoot. There is one proviso: don't put the socks on until just before you slip beneath the covers. Apparently if you warm your feet too soon, it doesn't help.



Hey, I don't explain 'em, I just report 'em! So before you head to bed, don the socks for a good night's sleep. Seems to have worked for this guy.
