Experts' Tips on Taking Supplements as Sleep-Aids

Experts' Tips on Taking, Supplements as Sleep-Aids. 'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. 'Time' recently spoke with experts regarding over-the-counter sleep aids and whether they can really help someone with insomnia. Melatonin has become a popular supplement in recent years for being a safe and effective sleep aid. According to a 2023 study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), nearly two-thirds of people in the United States have tried using melatonin to help them sleep. . It’s not something that is generally harmful or toxic, which is probably why people are tempted to take more when a little bit doesn’t work, Dr. Milena Pavlova, neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital and an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, via 'Time'. 'Time' points out that supplements, such as melatonin, are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Similar to melatonin, over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl have become a popular sleep-aid due to containing doxylamine, which causes drowsiness. However, doxylamine also comes with a number of side effects, including a potential hangover the next day. The big problem with antihistamines is they can make people extremely groggy and really impair cognitive function the next day, Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, professor of medicine in the division of sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, via 'Time'. While antihistamines can induce drowsiness, they don't normally result in quality, restorative sleep. Experts suggest eliminating things that prevent healthy sleep, like alcohol and caffeine, while also incorporating physical activity into your daily routine.

Federal Benefit Helping Low-Income Households Afford Internet Coming to an End

Federal Benefit Helping , Low-Income Households , Afford Internet Coming to an End. CNN reports that next month, low-income Americans face a crisis that threatens millions of households with economic distress. The United States government says that it can only pay about half of what it owes on a popular federal benefits program. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announcement represents the first tangible impact of Congress' failure to extend the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The pandemic-era benefit provides monthly discounts on internet service for over 23 million households in the U.S. As a result of dwindling funds, April will be the last month households can receive full benefits. . In May, ACP will only be able to provide 46% of the normal benefit payments before ending entirely in June. The end of the program means that millions of people will have to choose between paying for internet, housing and food. According to the FCC, Internet service providers (ISPs) could decide to close the gap for millions of households that will be impacted by the program coming to an end. We encourage providers to take efforts to keep consumers connected at this critical time, FCC statement, via CNN. The FCC went on to add that ISPs could offer discounts, low-cost internet plans or take other measures to ensure that service is not interrupted for millions of low-income Americans.
