There are brands that sell melatonine that will start working after some time. My son gets a blend of fast and slow release melatonin, as he had the problem you describe: fall asleep somewhat normally and be wide awake in the middle of the night.

I am not sure about kitty litter, but I swear by Numatic, known for the Henry model. Due to its design, it will not lose suction power as much as regular vacuum cleaners as the dust bag fills up. It is extremely repairable and it has great reach (long cable, long hose).
Which kinds of pain? As a long distance runner, I have increased my threashold for physical pain and all other sorts of discomfor, so pushing through that kind of pain and other misery definitely paid off.
Noisy space battles.
This is the way. Also: my bathroom floor is heated for that extra bit of comfort in winter.
I like that thought.
If pollution were not an issue, I would visit my sister in New Zealand. I live in the Netherlands.
Meh. Retro car design on a modern car is just lazy.
Well done sir! Reducing E-waste one piece at a time.
I would love the Philip Morris board of directors to be Mangioned. You must be a special kind of evil to create mobile devices with the sole purpose of getting kids addicted to nicotine.
Wat een domme, kwaadaardige minkukel. Ik vraag me af hoeveel roebels ze heeft ontvangen.
As US-centric as the article is, here's a perspective from the EU.
I have a strong opinion on air conditioning. I hate it as I have worked in too many poortly ventilated offices with the AC as its only source of slightly less stale air. There should be laws against poorly maintained office ACs. However, I am going to need it at home, even if I do not like it. I live in a temperate climate that is getting hotter in summers. Fast. The house I live in was never intended for extremely hot weather: flat roof, lots of glass, poor insulation. I did upgrade the insulation, but the huge glass facades of my house make it a greenhouse in the summer unless I take some measures like sun blinds and whatnot. Even then, our top floor gets uncomfortably hot.
I have installed solar panels that allow me to generate more electricity than I need. However, over the years our neoliberal and current far right government has made it very unattarctive to invest in this as they allowed the commercial energy businesses to impose tariffs on the surplus of generated electricity.
So now I am seriously considering installing AC to use on hot summer days. Not only do I get my house cooler, I also won't be charged for generating too much electricity. What I am not going to do, is keep the AC running all day though.
Fuck this government and its predecessors.
