Sleepy monk seal queen passes out in the sand

TwitterFacebook

There have been many times in my life when I’ve just wanted to pass out on the floor — whether I’ve been sober or not sober, at home or at work and in front of my computer.

But actually passing out in front of complete strangers takes bravery. So kudos to this sleeping monk seal, who Twitter user @PAYOLETTER found on the beach while visiting the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

“We just were lucky enough to see him on the beach, pure happenstance!” PAYOLETTER told Mashable. “Apparently they are endangered and rare to see.”

He’s been sleeping so long they put signs up to let him slumber!!!!!!! legend!!!! pic.twitter.com/Efa5CmrYga

Casper Glow review: Even gestures can’t make this more than an expensive night light

TwitterFacebook
Casper Glow
$89 (single), $168 (double)
The Good

Super easy to use • Light gets really bright • Charges wirelessly

The Bad

No Alexa or Google Assistant integration • Can’t swap out LED if it dies • App is a little slow to refresh data • Pricey

The Bottom Line

Casper’s first gadget, the Glow, is a cute portable light controlled with gestures, but it doesn’t offer enough features for the price.

Is there anything better than flipping over your pillow and pressing your cheek into its cold, soft fabric as you drift off to sleep? (Answer: Nope.) According to the National Sleep Foundation, cooling off your body by a few degrees — by resting your head on the chilly side of that pillow, for example, or setting your bedroom’s thermostat between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit — can actually help you slumber better and longer.  

Now that the holidays are rolling around, a good night’s sleep is more valuable than ever. Whether you’re hoping visions of sugar plums will dance in your head or you’re just trying to get everything crossed off your to-do list before your relatives arrive, SHEEX’s line of Performance Sheet Sets can help you get a little cozier and stay a lot cooler while you slumber.
