Sleep Is Now Officially In Fashion

Beauty sleep isn't just for models anymore, it's also a must for geniuses. Einstein needed 10 hours of sleep to function at his best. In his new book, "Internal Time," German chronobiologist Till Roenneberg demonstrates through a wealth of research that our sleep patterns have little to do with laziness and other such scorned character flaws, and everything to do with biology. 

This is the face of my grand-nephew Soren after somebody woke him up way too soon.  He's basically giving somebody "the side-eye of death". Roenneberg also chastises the predjudicial view that the early bird gets the worm: "This myth that early risers are good people and that late risers are lazy has its reasons and merits in rural societies but becomes questionable in a modern 24/7 society. The old moral is so prevalent, however, that it still dominates our beliefs, even in modern times. The postman doesn’t think for a second that the young man might have worked until the early morning hours because he is a night-shift worker or for other reasons. He labels healthy young people who sleep into the day as lazy ."  


Now if you live on a farm, good for you.

Ikea Develops a Step Stool and Shoe Combo

Tired of looking for that step stool you think you put in one of your closets, but can't remember which one? And ladies, who among us doesn't want to "step up" their productivity around the house? In keeping with a "do-more in less time" philosophy, the bright minds at Ikea have developed these time saving Step Stool Shoes.

Yes, these Step Stool Shoes take all the hassle of reaching for items on top of the refrigerator and those things you keep hidden from your husband and the kids in that non-descript box on the top shelf of your closet. Thanks, Ikea! The July 26 Twins hide their secret stash of gummy bears on the top of the shelving units in the living room. With these new shoes, it won't "be a bear" to reach our supply of snacky goodness.
 
P.S. These shoes also work to keep your feet dry when crossing over puddles during a rainstorm. How practical is that?
