Because of my fear of the virus, I am guilty of creating more waste than I did prior to quarantine. I have surgical masks, accept single-use plastic bags at the grocery stores (now back to bringing my own tote and washing it after returning home), Clorox wipes, and have spent a lot more time ordering things online—a shopping habit that boredom seems to have spiked… I knew I needed to change.

“Extra virgin olive oil” doesn’t mean much these days. However, during this experience, we discovered that that fact was just the tip of an iceberg (if icebergs were made out of olives).

However, is knowing about sleep health hindering us from getting good sleep???
