But they found that no matter your sleep preference, night owls aren’t thriving after dark.

(MA) Get ready to meet three little balls of fluff who are ready to fill your heart, and life, with love. Brynn, Bambi, and Bubbles Bath are 6-week-old Great Pyrenees mix sisters who were found as strays living under a porch. Sadly, their mother, also a stray, did not allow herself to be caught and brought into rescue alongside her babies. Despite that, the three puppies are healthy and happy in their new foster home.

The mental health app Headspace offers an 18-session course called Finding Your Best Sleep, featuring brief videos and guided meditations. I still don’t know how the “Enchanted Moonlight Library” sleepcast episode ends. Which, I suppose, is the point. A sleepcast is exactly what it sounds like: a podcast intended to help you doze off.
