I think if you keep it on the outside of your bed (away from the partner) and your bed isn't super responsive, it should work. There are others that integrate with wearables and works in that situation, but the concept of it using moti

Try taking L-Theanine with the caffeine if you're going to take that much because it will help with dependence and adrenal fatigue. And frankly, I would take a much smaller dose, and generally never take more than 300-400 mg per day. I

I think you are right in terms of forum-based communities having more in-depth discussions due to the way that in a forum, new replies bring threads back to the front page, whereas on reddit, after a few days, no one is posting on old threa

I am actually using the app because I am doing a mashup of HackerNews and another piece of software. If I decide to end up changing the UI a lot (which looks like it is trending towards), I was thinking of switching to the scraping engine.

The volume of medical data being created and published is rapidly increasing, and it would take a doctor to read something like 160 hours per week to stay on top of their field. There are only 168 hours in a week, so there is really no way

Milk is fortified with Vitamin D, but only about 100 IU per serving, so you would need to have around 50 glasses a day to get it. Do you know anyone who drinks that much milk?
