Staying Up Late A Lot Might Mean You’re Affected By Revenge Bedtime Procrastination, And This Twitter User Went Viral For Explaining Why

I do this most often on Sunday nights, thinking that if I go to sleep then it's already Monday, if I'm awake it's still the weekend... Needless to say, I'm not happy in the morning...

There is ALOT wrong with that because then others end up carrying you. Have respect for your colleagues.

I was about to do a radio interview - took a drink of water and it went down the wrong way. I literally could not inhale at all. Couldn't even get air in to cough. Somehow I managed to wheeze in a tiny breath moments before going on air. You can hear during the entire interview me sounding choked and clearing my throat. I wonder if this would have worked. (Still managed to do a good interview, btw!)

You know he freed every single one of his slaves in his lifetime? and freed most during the Revolutionary War, he freed the last when he was President. His wife owned slaved which her kids (Washingtons step kids) inherited. He was asked why he didn't free his wifes slaves, which under the law at the time he had legal authority to do, and he stood up for his wifes rights as a woman to own property and make her own choices. While it still kept people in slavery, his attitude towards women and slavery were very progressive for the time. BTW when he was president he had a three female political advisers, one black, one white, and one native American.

Do we really need to pathologize everything? (The OP did not, but many of the cited commenters.) Staying up late because you felt you had no "me time" that day, yet, merely is a normal move. Moreover, you may check the natural biorythm vs the one you are living. I, for example, are rather the "owl" type and I will often be productive after 22:00 even if I know I need to get up early the next day and have been tired all day. I deem this just, well, how it is.

Or maybe, if you have a job which brings you this much enjoyment, change employers or careers. You'll be way happier in the long term than if you become a corporate leach and completely drain your sense of self-worth as the "hack" suggests.

This may be a bit too much for most people but don't forget the steps before a dog bites you: 1. Don't run away unless you are sure to get to safety before the dog gets to you. Many dogs will compulsively hunt a prey running away and some will charge from behind but not when you're facing them. 2. Keep calm, don't make sudden moves, turn to face the dog or be sideways to it and slowly move away, showing in every possible way you mean no harm and are leaving its territory. Most dogs will be content to "scare" you away. 3. Try speaking to it in a soft voice. Don't extend your fingers, keep them balled up in a fist. 4. When bitten don't pull away to prevent tearing wounds. I'm not sure how many people would have the presence of the mind to push into the dog's maw, but when things go that far, you might as well fight with all you've got - don't give the dog a chance to bite you many times.

24 Brilliant Camping Tips And Hacks Every Camper Should Know

I have some lightweight merino wool layers. They are great-even when it's hot, they keep me sweat-free and less smelly. If it rains at least I'm warm, and sparks have landed on them and only made tiny holes. What I will say, though, is merino wool knickers are an exception to the above. The only non-chafe option I have found is lycra running knickers. (And I have tested cotton, bamboo and merino wool so you don't have to).

People Expose 40 Things That Pretend To Be Wholesome Yet Are Actually Toxic

My son had serious anger issues as a teen. It got him into trouble a few times. He finally promised us he wouldn't get angry anymore. We told him "You're going to get angry and that's ok. What we need to teach you is how to deal with it in a mature manner." Now he knows enough that, when he's angry, he asks us to let him take a break and he goes for a walk. I've recognized his anger and handed him my car keys so he can go listen to music in the car to calm himself down. Now he's to a point that when he's stressing out he just says "Mom...keys." I'd rather have my speakers blown out than have him blow up.

A thousand percent. Terrifying people then laughing? That's sadism pure and simple.

As an official old person, I will drop this nugg of wisdom/ experience; feeling angry isn't bad & you're not obligated to forgive anyone for anything. Having said that, my experiences have taught me that withholding forgiveness & clinging to anger only punishes the person carrying it, in the end. Also, forgiveness is not the same as allowing a toxic person back into your life- you can forgive them for your own peace of mind and still refuse future interactions/ relationships with these people.

People Expose 40 Things That Pretend To Be Wholesome Yet Are Actually Toxic

Forgiving is something you do for your own sake. It takes time and needs some hard work, but it's a part of resilience process and does a lot of good afterwards. But when you can't forgive, you can't.
