A bed band is an easy way to make fitted sheets fit a smaller mattress. You can use either a dual-band or triangle band. They just snap on the corners of your existing sheets, and then you use the included adjustments to tighten them up.

Fact

Humans are the only mammals that willingly delay sleep.

Every other mammal in the animal kingdom will succumb to sleep once they feel exhausted. However, humans can “fight” against sleep for a certain period.

Myth

If you exercise, you can eat what you want.

When you hear stories of the 10,000-calorie diet that some professional athletes consume, it can seem like an active, calorie-burning lifestyle can remove any need for us to monitor what we eat.

This could not be further from the truth. Our individual metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise: If we eat more calories than we burn on a consistent basis, our bodies will accumulate these extra calories as fat regardless of the amount of exercise that we do.”
