Okayyyy, I am not sure about this. Why? Well, after being in the Armed Forces and having slept under canvas whilst clutching an SMG for dear life, I don't see recreational camping in the same way...........

No beds, more birdsong: why outdoor sleep can make for better slumber which continues after you return home.

I found this interesting and would welcome the research results. I wonder about any localised changes from having the pouch in one place.

Friday Fact: Tomorrow is Anzac Day in Australasia. And, amongst all the craziness we have occurring, I wonder what our brave men and women of the 1st and 2nd World Wars would be saying today. Please consider donating to the RSA. "We Will Remember Them". ❤

TMJ sounds. Pop, crunch, click or crackle? Do you feel and hear any of these when you move your jaw? Dental Daily has a clever image to give you an idea of why you experience your sound.

I share many articles on breathing and sleep because of the problems they cause for the oral muscles. This then means you need someone like me to rehabilitate them after mouth breathing. You might actually be finding these helpful🧐❤

Washing sheets every fortnight won't cut it, says a microbiologist.

Now the research is telling us that it isn't the blue light that affects our sleep, rather it is....... Well have a look for yourself 😁

Fun Friday Fact! Even pets can have orthodontic treatment. Injury, genetics, and breeding can be reasons. Soft diet? Would that be a factor, as it can be in humans? This is an image from a Minnesota vet. What is your take on it? All I can think of is how they manage to keep it in place???
