This is so cool. When Cher announced Lady Gaga won the MTV’s Video of the Year, she was so emotional. She was fighting hard to keep her tears. Before she walked off arm-in-arm with Cher, she announced her upcoming album, Born This Way.

Get Your Money Tree

It  is a fact that money doesn’t grow on trees. But  with a fistful of dollars and a box of paperclips, a regular old tree can turn into a dollar tree, no special cash-seeds needed.

Are You Sleeping Enough?

I thought this is interesting. Do you know that people who sleep less than six hours a night may be three times more likely to develop a condition that leads to diabetes and heart disease?

Researchers from the University of Warwick and the University at Buffalo found that short sleep duration is associated with an elevated risk of a pre-diabetic state, known as IFG. People with IFG have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and are at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

The researchers looked at six years of data from 1,455 participants in the Western New York Health Study.

All participants were between the ages of 35 and 79 years old, and all completed a clinical examination that included measures of resting blood pressure, height, and weight. They also completed questionnaires about their general health and wellbeing and sleeping patterns.

“We found that short sleep—less than six hours—was associated with a significant, three-fold increased likelihood of developing IFG, compared to people who got an average of six to eight hours sleep a night,” says lead author Saverio Stranges of the Warwick Medical School.

In this case, I think it is always good to sleep early before midnight. Good-byes to all the late night shows…
