The_King Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Sleep. For some, it may come as naturally as breathing. But for others, it could be a constant game of tug-o-war. When poor sleep quality affects our daily life, we may be tempted to reach out to over-the-counter solutions. Instead of taking the easy way out and heading to a pharmacy, sometimes, all we need is to make a few minor lifestyle adjustments to enjoy better quality sleep. TikTok’s sleep hack Has your mum ever told you to keep your feet warm when you go to bed? I believe I'm not the only one who brushed it off as another old wives' tale. It turns out that this old wives’ tale actually has some scientific backing to it. Dr Jess Andrade went on TikTok advocating how wearing socks can actually help people fall asleep faster. She explains, "Wearing socks makes your feet warm, and this opens up the blood vessels that cools the body down. The body being cool tells the brain that it's time for bed. So actually, people that wear socks tend to fall asleep faster." The video has already garnered 3.6 million views and 58.1k comments. Check it out.

Get into these super fluffy socks made of premium microfiber, Merino wool socks or slimming ones which, according to Japanese scientists, promises to ease muscle ache while you sleep.

We all know that the caffeine in coffee can disrupt a good night’s sleep. Many opt for tea instead. However, tea does contain caffeine, as well. According to Mayo Clinic, a cup of black tea contains 47mg of caffeine, about half the amount in coffee at 96mg. But take note, not all coffee (and tea) are created equal. Caffeine amounts differ based on the coffee beans (or tea leaves) and other factors like the roasting process. A Starbucks venti Pike Place Roast coffee, for example, contains a whopping 310mg of caffeine. Besides tea, be aware of the cumulative consumption of food and drinks such as chocolates, soda and energy drinks, which contain a substantial amount of the culprit that's keeping you up way past your bedtime. Here's looking at you, coke! Why not set a cut-off time for consumption of such liquids and snacks? Or adopt a turn-down routine by consuming caffeine-free night-time beverages with ingredients like lavender, chamomile or valerian that are known to relax the mind and body.

The_King Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/cut-down-on-coffee-grinder-mess-with-drop-of-water-article the Ross Droplet Technique (a.k.a. RDT), which sounds very technical, but amounts to this: Add a single drop of water to your unground beans, stir it around with your finger or the handle of a spoon, and grind. Not to get too into the science of it, but static electricity is caused by an imbalance in positive and negative charges; a cold environment or one with low humidity can make those opposing forces worse. Adding a small amount of moisture increases the humidity in the grinder. This idea was allegedly first proposed in a 2005 online coffee forum by one David Ross, although the original thread appears to have been lost to the sands of time. While the origins of the technique are somewhat hazy, the results are undeniable. After my first round using the RDT, the ground coffee came out in a tidy pile with no wisps anywhere in sight. In fact, the method was so simple, I figured I must be missing something, so I reached out to a couple of experts to make sure I wasn’t doing any damage to the machine (or to the beans). “Every situation is different,” says Sahra Nguyen, founder of Nguyen Coffee Supply. When you factor in conditions like “weather, heat, and humidity in the home,” you may need a little more or a little less water for the method to work properly. Both Nguyen and Nick Terzulli, the director of mechanical engineering at Fellow, agree, however, that any amount of water you use should be minute. Terzulli likes to use the spoon method: Run the handle of a spoon under water—he says “you only need one or two drops of water.” Then stir a single dose (15 to 80 grams) of whole coffee beans with the handle. He’s also a proponent of the spray method: Using a miniature spray bottle, spritz a single dose of beans once or twice, then stir or shake beans to distribute before grinding. Nguyen favors the finger method: Dip one finger into a cup of water, wave your finger over a single dose of beans three times, and then use a dry finger to mix the beans and water droplets together. She says “this finger-waving technique adds about 0.1 gram of water to the beans” and that “if there is still static, you may need a fourth wave.” You’ll love iced coffee even more when you don’t have to vacuum up after it. Photo by Chelsea Kyle The type of water you use doesn’t matter much, but Terzulli usually opts for filtered. You should aim for tepid water, however, or water that’s the same temperature (ideally room temperature) as the beans you’re using. Neither expert recommends using this method for a larger batch of beans, or for beans you don’t plan on grinding right away. “Any water contact is technically beginning the extraction process,” Nguyen says. “If you’re not brewing [the beans] and drinking [the coffee] right away, then you’ll be missing out on some part of the experience. Will you notice the difference in flavor and taste? That’s a personal determination.” Terzulli notes that “because water evaporates over time, using this method may work great on day one for [a larger stash of] beans in your hopper, but by the next day, your results will not be the same. Plus, keeping coffee wet for extended periods of time is not recommended.” Edited November 14, 2021 by The_King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
