Or don’t…

So sometime between now and September, the nighttime sky where I live will be cloudy for five days straight. Got it.

One of the studies cited in the article found that COVID-19 damages (or can damage) the blood-brain barrier.

• COVID-19 can also disrupt the blood brain barrier, the shield that protects the nervous system – which is the control and command center of our bodies – making it “leaky.” Studies using imaging to assess the brains of people hospitalized with COVID-19 showed disrupted or leaky blood brain barriers in those who experienced brain fog.

Considering the number of people who end up with “brain fog” this seems a likely way for it to enter the brain.

Every cat is different. We have one cat that goes nuts for plastic springs, another loves little furry ball toys, another loves balls made of crinkly plastic material. Last Halloween my wife bought a bunch of mini ping pong balls that have a sticker making them look like eyeballs. All our cats love those things. They also all love fishing pole toys.

I recommend getting a variety of toys and seeing what your cat loves best.

Going to bed earlier isn’t an effective solution for many kids. Around 1 in 6 adolescents find it difficult to fall asleep before 11:00 PM.

In adolescence, up to 16% of teenagers experience a sleep phase delay. Due to this circadian shift , their melatonin levels don’t begin to rise until later in the evening. As a result, they naturally feel more alert at night, making it harder for them to fall asleep before 11:00 p.m.
