Tell him he will get something good in the morning if he goes to bed on time? This seems to work with some children. It's almost a Pavlov type training where he will respond to the good act in the AM by going to bed at the appropriate time. Do keep in mind that people have different circadian...

I would treat it the same as you treat other things you have problems with in life. You know you have to work on something and practice it to get better, and going out and being social is no different. If you continually surround yourself with people, you will hopefully start to feel more...

I think this is a universal problem. I cannot count the number of times I have shaken someone's hand, told them my name, heard their name, and then completely forgot what they said. I think the most important thing is to be aware you are doing it and actively try to remember the name in the...

I have a job where I spend the predominant part of my day staring a computer screen writing patient notes. I am suffering badly from dry eyes. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for this? I do wear contacts, and I guess I could wear my glasses a little more often. Other than that, are there any...

Good to know. I haven't read much into Tarsum shampoo, but the little I did see stated that it may be carcinogenic so you might want to be careful. I'll read into it more. I think my diet plays a large role in facial swelling / redness as well. If I eat a lot of processed carbohydrates (pizza...

Does anyone else out there find any benefit from always thinking optimistically? I find that too often I am in the mindset of "I'm not going to get the job" or "They probably did not like me". This seems to damper my mood and changes the way I view life daily. I think a lot of it stems from...

You should read more into the literature if you are at all interested in the subject matter. There are studies showing an increased mortality rate for individuals who work night shifts. I imagine your lack of sleep as well as hormonal changes of pregnancy may have some effect on your memory...

Does anyone here have a skin care routine that they have found that works well? I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and struggle with keeping my face clear daily. I use Tretinoin at night and Cerave moisturizer in the AM. I also use sunscreen daily. Selsun Blue and Nizoral seem to help with...

Thank you for the comment. Yes, there are so many factors involved in alcoholism that people may not realize are hiding beneath the surface. This is why I never have and never will judge someone suffering from alcoholism. Individuals heavily consuming alcohol can suffer from Vitamin B12 and...

Have you sat down and made a pros and cons list for both of the choices? What is the worst thing that could happen if you chose to make the change? Does this risk outweigh the potential positive effect the change will have on you? When you answer these questions, then you can decide if you...

Personal advice: -Buy non-perishable food in bulk. -Start using coupons more often, can save so much money here! -See if you can use alternative forms of travel (bike, walking, carpooling) more often rather than driving -Put in more hours at work!!!

How many hours of sleep do you need a night in order to feel you are at full capacity with your memorization? I watched a documentary a while back indicating that 8 hours minimum is required for adults to fully function in everyday life. Is this feasible for anyone out there? I know that I...

The best thing I ever did was delete my Facebook account. A major flaw of social media is that for the most part individuals only post the positive aspects of their life and make themselves out to be something they aren't. This breeds feelings of inadequacy in humans. The application have also...

Has anyone personally experienced or had friends/family with alcoholism who were able to get out of it? Do you have any advice or tips on how to improve? I do not drink myself, but I know there are a lot of people out there who may need help with the subject matter and I also recognize how...

I think the easiest way is to workout as hard as you can and put your phone away while working out. Otherwise, people say they are going to the gym and don't get a whole lot done and are actually not very tired when you are leaving. If you workout hard, you will be tired when it's time for bed...

If they can actually relate to the subject, I would say their opinion is healthy or okay. Otherwise, a lot of times people just seem to give their opinion on anything and everything and it's not really helping out your situation.

I think you should try to be okay with it if you want to make changes. Otherwise, you may not be able to fully accept what it is you are being criticized for and may continually repeat this crutch. It's okay to accept your criticism, most likely someone is just saying it to help you out!!!

Has anyone here utilized intermittent fasting? I've used it on and off with positive results. I think the main thing it does for me is restricts the total number of hours I can consume calories. For example, I have done 18 and 6 (18 hours fast, 6 hours eating), and found that during the time...

Great tips! Something that always helps me is thinking about just how long I have to do cardio/exercise/lift weights for the food I'm putting in my body. For example, how long does it take you to eat a cookie or piece of bread? 2 minutes? Now think, how long does it take for you to burn off...

I don't know that I'd call them ungrateful, but rather I think they begin to fall into the same monotony that we as everyday individuals fall into. Think of your every day life: are there things you could do better but you choose not to (whether conscious or subconscious)? I think it's the...
