My friend wears glasses coz he's myopic and has never worn a pair of sunnies coz a couple of eye doctors tell him that it's going to make his eye problem even worse. he really wants to especially when the day's so bright and sunny.

Any advice?

I have to stay up tonight to work on a paper.
I'm drinking coffee....I usually don't go to sleep until a couple of hours from now.
But I know I'll be tired, later, and I most likely will only b able to get 2 hours of sleep if even that.

I was thinking I could take an hour nap if I really get sleepy...then wake up and work on my paper again; will that refresh me?

What can I do to stay alert and awake?

I was curious because I recently noticed that my hard contact lens prescription are -8.25 for the right eye and -7.25 for the left eye. First of all, how bad are my eyes exactly? Also, I am only 19 yrs. old so is there a chance that there could be some serious consequences if my eyes continue to deteriorate at this rate?

My husband has bad heart burn/indigestion. I suggested he drink some milk. He says milk makes it worse or is bad for you when you have indigestion...please help us settle this argument. It makes sence to me that milk would eat the acid and soothe the stomach and throat but he disagrees...whats the answer?

I am finally going to do it and I need practical advice from people who have been there. Please don't send a bunch of links because I won't check them out. I am also against substituting one addiction for another (gum). I prefer to do this without any kind of "medicine".

I'm your typical college student and don't get enough sleep (around 5-6 hours a night). But every so often, I get 8-10 hours a night. Unfortunately, I still end up with black "bags" under my eyes. Sometimes, I wake up and feel even more tired with the 8-10 hours instead of 5-6 hours a night. How much sleep should I be getting and why is the extra hours not eliminating the black "bags" under my eyes?

I have been smoking now for 24 years. I want to quit so bad. I woke up yesterday morning and was so disgusted with the taste in my mouth I decided I did not want it anymore. Even though I had a carton sitting right in front of me. I did so good for the whole day. I almost made the 24 hour mark. But I gave in last night to this disgusting thing that has control of me. I don't have any physical withdrawals, it is the mind. It was driving me crazy. I am also trying to lose about 40 lbs and I am afraid that if I quit I will gain more weight. So I thought that I would lose the weight first then quit. But I think killing two birds with one stone would be better. Instead of being miserable twice, why not try both at the same time.

Please does anyone have some REAL suggestions for me? Maybe something that worked for you? Thank you for your time and Happy New Year to you all.

Yes, I know the best answer is "lose weight" but I need to know....if you're overweight and end up with a backache or other aches on a regular mattress/bed, what kind of bed has worked better for you?

Has anyone ever experienced head pain. The last two nights I was up and couldn't sleep, and it felt like my head was hurting and I felt it wanted to explode. I had to put a cold pack on my pillow before going to bed to cool down the discomfort.

My Mom was is in an Assisted Living Facility-4 DAYS later she fell & broke her arm.When she came home after 4 weeks there were my brother (doctor), Aunt and me - the nasty lawyer.
It was obvious THEN that she could not get in and out of her existing bed. Head of Facility told me they would give her an inexpensive headboard, mattress thing and special frame for mattress.
Head told me to my face that it was no problem to leave it there. I wanted it there because it's mere presence was a comfort to her.I have it's'twin'-which my son is now using. That one was my Dad's.
These are VERY expensive beds-not that that really matters. I had a patrolman come out and made a report immediately.Solid cherry-the only things I can pick up are the side rails and the slats.
OH, and at one point the current director said "If Patti doesn't get this out by Friday-I'm throwing it away."Two weeks prior she had offered my mother $500. for it.
Do I charge for Grand Larceny or take to Small Claims Court?

I was gettin over a cold and when i blew my nose, it started to bleed. So i pinched my noise closed and put ice on it for a while and then washed it out with water. It stopped bleeding but now when ever i blow my nose i see blood mix w/ mucus but it doesn't start bleeding. This has been going on for more than a week.
