Most folks need around seven to nine hours of sleep. Healthy sleep habits can make a big difference in your quality of life. Having healthy sleep habits is often referred to as having good “sleep hygiene.”

To not be like this guy, you may wish to try to keep the following sleep practices on a consistent basis:

Stick to the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.

This helps to regulate your body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.

Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.

Submitted by ub on

There is a trick up US Attorney Preet Bharara's sleeve, and it is to force the Moreland Commission members to say things that may hurt corrupt politicians in NY state government. But this is not only a NY State problem, but an international disgrace.

We keep on hearing "Lets throw the bums out", but we never do. The fact that corrupt "leaders" continue to stay in power speaks for itself. We are, its beginning to appear that we are living in a corrupt universe.

Submitted by ub on

As part of the 40th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live," I have many wonderful memories of riding the elevator with the likes of the late Gilda Ratner and John Bellucci, and having Bill Murray ask me to let him borrow my NYPD Press Credentials, while I worked as a news writer, editor and producer at NBC.

I recall watching "SNL" over the years, sitting in on Thursday rehearsals, during my lunch hour, attending the actual program in studio 8H and of-course, staying up late to watch the live program.
