HOW TO MAKE YOUR BED

Ergonomics help to avoid unwanted injuries from awkward postures. An Ergonomic bed will

  • 1.maintain your natural spinal curvatures,
  • 2.improve the deep sleeping time,
  • 3.Spread the force evenly on your back to reduce muscle spasm.
  • 4.Improve circulation.
  • 5.Reduce the incidence of neck and back pain.

The best way to sleep is on your right in side lying with right palm supporting your cheeks. Can use an additional pillow between legs.

Pillow

size matters - If you lie on your side, it should fill the gap between the outside of your upper arm and the side of your face keeping the neck in a neutral position. It should be a neutral alignment. Over height causes neck to angle upward and low height causes neck angle to go downwards

Choose a pillow which increases the facial air circulation.

Fillings – Down and feathers, synthetic/ polyester fillings

Replace every two years.

Mattress

Go for a medium sized mattress, not too soft/ firm.

Because the firm mattress can exert a counterforce against your spine. Memory foam will be a good choice.

Of course, go for a flat one.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
