From pin to the plane, we have 5 facts everyone should know in life. So, read on to feel your quality of life rise.
1) You’re the tallest first thing in the morning
According to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, this phenomenon may be due to gravity compressing cartilage in our spine and other parts of our bodies, such as our knees when we stand up or sit down throughout the day. “While we are lying down in a resting position, the spine is said to “spread out” or decompress, so when we wake in the morning we are taller after lying in bed all night.”
2) You should sleep with your door closed
Sleeping with your doors closed will help protect you from smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire.
3) Sleeping in a cold room can help you slim down
Just a single month of sleeping in a 66-degree room has increased a person’s fat-burning ability by as much as 10 percent, as our body puts all energy to keep us warm.
