NewsThis Is Why You Always Wake Up At The Same Time Each Night
Sleeping through the night without waking up is something that many people struggle with. Experts say that there is a reason why some people always wake up at the same time every night. Sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus says the reason is that your body is “out of fuel”. If you eat dinner at 6:30 PM and always wake up at around 3:30 AM, that means you’ve gone nine hours without eating. Going this long without eating can affect your blood sugar levels, which in turn can affect your sleep. The experts suggest eating a teaspoon of raw honey about 30 minutes before you go to bed. This will help keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the night

NewsEverything You Need To Know Before Getting Box Braids
Box braids are plaits or three-stranded braids that are divided into square-shaped sections. They can be done on natural hair or with hair extensions for extra length, thickness and fullness. Box braids don’t require any thermal heat, which means they are an amazing protective hairstyle. They can damage the hair if installed incorrectly, left in for too long or are too heavy. To avoid damage, the hair must be properly treated before and after getting the braids. It’s a good idea to use deep-conditioning treatments before getting your box braids. The cost of your box braids will depend on the style, size and length of braids that you want. Generally, you can expect to pay between $100 to $300 on them. Box braids should be kept in for no longer than six to eight weeks. This is because the hair will start to grow out and cause matting and tangling. Hairstylists cannot agree on whether box braids should be washed or not, so it’s best to ask your stylist their opinion.

Coffee is a vital part of many people’s daily routines. However, drinking it too close to bedtime can affect your sleep. According to experts, the time of day you choose to stop drinking coffee is up to you, as caffeine affects everyone differently. If you start to experience tremors, suddenly feel nervous or your heart rate changes, then you should stop drinking it. People on birth control can often have a lower tolerance for caffeine. Because of this, people on birth control should avoid drinking coffee in the evenings to ensure they get a good sleep. Smokers typically have a high tolerance for caffeine and can drink coffee late at night without it affecting their sleep. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration says you should consume no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. The administration also says people should not drink more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per sitting. An 8-ounce cup of coffee contains 100 milligrams of caffeine.
