I have trouble sleeping - here are 10 products that helped me get a good night's rest

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Ever have those moments where you're in bed, staring at the ceiling, pretend-counting stars till you fall asleep? Yeah, that's me every night.
From overthinking the day's events to planning my next appointments, my brain's always abuzz past midnight, and I constantly wake up feeling tired or sapped of energy.
Luckily, I've been able to test some amazing product s recently that have eased my sleeplessness and given me back that energy I need to make it through the day. Here are seven products I swear by to help me sleep — and why you should try them, too.
Elemind
I've always been skeptical of devices that can reportedly put you to sleep within minutes — but yes, this device does exactly that.
Elemind Tech created a wearable that responds to your individual brain waves with auditory stimulation, designed to make you doze off.
I tried it myself and fell asleep within five minutes — and it was still bright outside.
The wearable is comfortable, and you can change positions easily while you sleep as well. The companion app keeps track of your sleep stages, giving you an inside look into your sleep schedule.

The Sleepy Magnesi-OM supplement in tea or water is just what you need for a good night's sleep.
It packs Phytomelatonin, which increases the duration of your sleep; Magnesium, which supports the body's stress response; and of course, L-Theanine, known to reduce stress and improve sleep quality.
You'll wake up feeling refreshed without the lethargy.

Hatch Restore 3
This is not just a sunrise alarm clock, it's a sleep machine — really.
You can create bedtime and wake-up routines, and have your Hatch cue your favorite sleep sounds for a restful night — and you can choose from over 80 sounds too.
The gentle wake sunrise alarm clock feature also makes sure you're refreshed and ready to take on the day ahead.
There's even a built-in nightlight, which is super useful for me so I don't trip on the way back from the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Apollo Neuro
I first tried Apollo Neuro when I was suffering from terrible anxiety from my long COVID symptoms — and it truly was a game changer.
The wearable delivers calming vibrations to your vagus nerve to relax and calm your body and your mind. I wore it on my wrist and sometimes around my ankle when I wanted to be more discreet.
I also used it to stay asleep and gain deeper sleep overnight. It's really easy to use, and the free companion app helps you sleep track too.

Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Eyemask
I like using sleep masks as they block out all the light around me, especially in the summer when the sun rises way too early for my liking.
This mask from Brooklinen has a satin feel and sits comfortably over my eyes. I have it in both black and celestial and love that it's durable, comfortable, and blocks out all the light around me.
I also love that it's machine washable because you know I constantly get my leftover eye makeup on it.

EPA says power plant carbon emissions aren't dangerous. We asked 30 scientists: Here's what they say

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday proposed a new ruling that heat-trapping carbon gas "emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.'' The Associated Press asked 30 different scientists, experts in climate, health and economics, about the scientific reality behind this proposal. Nineteen of them responded, all saying that the proposal was scientifically wrong and many of them called it disinformation. Here's what eight of them said. 'This is the scientific equivalent to saying that smoking doesn't cause lung cancer,' said climate scientist Zeke Hausfather of the tech firm Stripe and the temperature monitoring group Berkeley Earth. 'The relationship between CO2 emissions and global temperatures has been well established since the late 1800s, and coal burning is the single biggest driver of global CO2 emissions, followed by oil and gas. It is utterly nonsensical to say that carbon emissions from power plants do not contribute significantly to climate change.' "It's about as valid as saying that arsenic is not a dangerous substance to consume," said University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann. "The world is round, the sun rises in the east, coal-and gas-fired power plants contribute significantly to climate change, and climate change increases the risk of heat waves, catastrophic storms, infectious diseases, and many other health threats. These are indisputable facts," said Dr. Howard Frumkin, former director of the National Center for Environmental Health and a retired public health professor at the University of Washington. Climate economist R. Daniel Bressler of Columbia University, said: 'We can use tools from climate economics, including the mortality cost of carbon and the social cost of carbon, to estimate the climate impacts of these emissions. For instance, in my past work, I found that adding just one year's worth of emissions from an average-sized coal-fired plant in the U.S. causes 904 expected temperature-related deaths and over $1 billion in total climate damages.' University of Arizona climate scientist Kathy Jacobs said: "Their statement is in direct conflict with evidence that has been presented by thousands of scientists from almost 200 countries for decades. 'It's basic chemistry that burning coal and natural gas releases carbon dioxide and it's basic physics that CO2 warms the planet. We've known these simple facts since the mid-19th century,' said Oregon State's Phil Mote. Andrew Weaver, a professor at the University of Victoria and former member of parliament in British Columbia, said: 'President Trump is setting himself up for international court charges against him for crimes against humanity. To proclaim you don't want to deal with climate change is one thing, but denying the basic science can only be taken as a wanton betrayal of future generations for which there should be consequences.' Stanford climate scientist Chris Field, who coordinated an international report linking climate change to increasingly deadly extreme weather, summed it up this way: "It is hard to imagine a decision dumber than putting the short-term interests of oil and gas companies ahead of the long-term inters of our children and grandchildren." ___ Matthew Daly and Michael Phillis contributed from Washington.

Women's supplements brand O Positiv explores sale, sources say

NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) - O Positiv Health is exploring a sale that could value the women's health supplements company at around $1 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter. The founder-owned business is working with investment bank Jefferies on the sale effort, said the sources, who added that O Positiv is projecting $275 million of revenue this year after generating around $225 million in 2024. The sources cautioned that no deal was guaranteed, and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private information. Jefferies declined to comment. O Positiv did not respond to a comment request. Siblings Bobby and Brianna Bitton launched O Positiv in 2018. The company makes vitamins and probiotics that address a variety of health concerns, from PMS and menopause symptoms to vaginal and gut health. The products are sold on the company's website, as well as through retailers including Walmart (WMT.N), opens new tab, Target (TGT.N), opens new tab and Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab. Consumer health companies and private equity firms alike have put more emphasis on investing in the women's health space in recent years, which has created a significant pool of buyers for brands founded by entrepreneurs. Such deals include Pharmavite buying Bonafide in November 2023 and L Catterton, in partnership with actress Naomi Watts, acquiring Stripes Beauty last year.

US CDC restores jobs for 450 laid-off employees

June 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reinstating some 450 employees laid off under the Trump administration's massive reduction of the federal workforce, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday. The employees had worked for the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention, the National Center for Environmental Health, the Immediate Office of the Director and the Global Health Center (GHC), according to Fox News. A spokesperson for the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department, which oversees the CDC, confirmed the report. Their work includes oversight of lead poisoning prevention, toxic chemical spills, air quality as well as global disease surveillance, according to the CDC's website. Many of the employees were part of the mass layoffs of 10,000 staffers at U.S. health agencies announced in April by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk to shrink the federal government and slash spending. Some 2,400 CDC jobs were slated for cuts under the plan. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr later said that some of those roles would be reinstated after an outcry over the potential for increased risks to public health. In an email from Thomas Nagy of HHS seen by Reuters, employees were told that their reduction in force or RIF notices had been revoked and that they should contact their immediate supervisor with questions. Some of the reinstated employees were from the CDC's Lead Poisoning Prevention and Surveillance Branch, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. That program had been scheduled to be included in a new HHS division called the Administration for a Healthy America, or AHA.
