According to the National Sleep Foundation, “good” sleep quality means falling asleep within about 30 minutes, staying sound asleep throughout the night (with a maximum of one mid-sleep wake-up), and being able to drift back to sleep within 20 minutes of that one awakening. Just like light, noise can quickly disrupt the sleep experience. While sound machines can help drown out loud appliances or car horns and provide meditation and background noise, those who are easily disturbed by sounds like traffic, pets or partners might benefit from headphones....

Couples typically add spice to the bedroom with bendy sex positions, erotic kinks, or vibrating toys. Now, there’s growing research that CBD from hemp can potentially bring another new dimension to one’s intimate life. CBD, otherwise known as cannabidiol, is an active botanical compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant that, among other purported benefits, has been touted as a way to support your libido while promoting relaxation.* The CBD marketplace for sex products has been booming with oils, oral sprays, lotions, lubricants, capsules, and edibles to meet your desires....

It’s only fitting, then, that Naomi Osaka prioritizes soothing, stress-busting practices throughout her regimen—she hails mindfulness habits just as much as daily SPF. In fact, the 25-year-old world-class tennis champion is on a mission to destigmatize mental health and make self-care more accessible for all; on that path, she also founded KINLÒ, a sun care brand specifically designed to raise awareness about health risks for melanin-rich skin tones and amplify the importance of sunscreen....

— Joel Kahn, M.D., mbg class instructor and author of Your Whole Heart Solution Before I go into what I eat for a great night’s sleep, let me tell you what I don’t eat and what will surely interfere with the quality of your sleep. If you want to have sound sleep, then in the evening you have to avoid alcohol, sugar, and caffeine. You may say, “Well I get sleepy after a glass of wine,” and this may be true, but the effect is transient and only lasts for half of the night, while during the second half it interferes with REM, leading to an unsatisfactory night’s rest....
