Plenty
of Americans are putting in lots of overtime on the job, according to a
new survey that says the average worker spends nearly an extra day at
work each week. Eight out of ten workers say they put in overtime, and
almost half feel they have no choice. And about one-third say they
continue to work at home and find it hard to switch-off and relax.

Not
getting enough shut-eye could mean more than just fatigue. A new study
says that a lack of sleep is the number-one risk factor for stroke in
people who are not overweight. Researchers say getting less than a
minimum of six hours of sleep per night increased the risk of stroke in
middle-aged and older people of normal weight. Source Link
How
can a five-gallon bucket help you weather a severe storm like the ones
that knocked out electricity for millions of Americans in the past week?
Experts say you can pack the bucket with food and water, a flashlight, a
battery powered or hand-cranked radio, a first aid kit, money,
medications and a USB drive containing important document files. And
keep it where you can grab it quickly in the event of a natural
disaster. Source Link
