Do you spend a majority of your nights tossing and turning, struggling to catch some zzz's? You're not alone. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 45 percent of Americans experience poor or insufficient sleep. Those who report experiencing poor sleep also report poor health quality, like low life satisfaction and high stress. For those who don’t have a sleep disorder, there are quite a few ways to speed your journey to serene slumbers. 1. Get up at the same time every morning — it’s much more important than when you go to bed. It helps to regulate your body's internal clock. 2. Head off to the bedroom only when you feel tired enough to fall asleep. Following an  arbitrary bedtime  is not ideal. Go to sleep when you feel tired. 3. If you’re not sleepy, leave the bedroom and do something else till you are. Grab a book and read in your living room, don't just lay in bed thinking about how you're not sleeping. 4. Exercise daily, but not within fo...

Edith Fuller, 6, is National Spelling Bee's youngest-ever competitor Ask an adult to spell the word "nyctinasty" under the glare of the spotlight at the Scripps National Spelling Bee and it might not be pretty. For 6-year-old Edith Fuller, it was E-A-S-Y. We apologize, this video has expired. Fuller became the youngest competitor in Spelling Bee history on Wednesday, nailing the words "nyctinasty" and "tapas" in her two rounds. The home-schooled girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma, ended up getting eliminated from Thursday's finals due to her score on a written test. But the little "spellebrity" definitely made her mark on the judges and fans.  Follow Ann Gerrietts   @NeatStringer This is what awesome looks like!  # goedith   # recordbreaker # itsoktobenervous   # spellingbee 5:18 PM - 31 May 2017     328 328 Retweets     837 837 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy The...

A Nigerian lady , Mama Denzel, has advised married women to kill their husbands if he asks to do a DNA test on their kids. The advice which has caused lots of virtual war on social media started when a Facebook user, Ben Victor, who also owns a Facebook group called Ila Otu, shared a request on his wall from one of his readers.  Ben posted that the reader who has been abroad for a while and recently returned to Nigeria feels his wife has not been totally faithful to him while he was away, hence, the DNA test idea. He went on to ask for a good hospital. When the post was shared, it got the wrong sides of some of Ben's readers. Some were of the opinion that he does not have the right to the DNA test without his wife's approval. Some also probed further if he stayed faithful while abroad all by himself. Because of the controversial post which was reported, the group was taken down by Facebook.  One of the strong antagonists of the DNA post, Mama Denzel, also took to her own...
