Does anyone have any cute/stylish recommendations for a simple bedroom clock? Ideally it would be USB C rechargeable, colorful, cute, and readable in the dark.

I'm trying to not-rely on my phone or other gadgets for sleep time as they are just a distraction for me.

Sometimes I wish I worked in an office so I could actually talk with someone.

Especially this time of the year.

The future of #cars is to NOT be individually owned, and to be a last resort means of transportation.

Reducing drastically the share cars take in our transportation, the space they take when parked in our #cities, the #hospital beds they fill with #roadCasualties, is vital to our #climate, our #wellbeing and our #health.

We should invest in #rail and #bike #infrastructure, and not replace 260 million cars by as many e-cars.

Rolling out a yoga mat and flowing with your breath may just be one of the best ways to improve your sleep in the long run. A meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials found that regular, high intensity yoga outperformed walking, resistance training, combination workouts, aerobic exercise, and even traditional practices like tai chi and qigong when it came to improving sleep for people of all ages with sleep struggles.
The takeaway? Inhale calm, exhale stress and drift into more restful, restorative sleep naturally.
