Most people should look for sheets with a thread count between 200 and 600. This is typically where you’ll find the best results. Remember that what works for one type of material might not work as well for another, so be sure to keep that in mind when making your decision. As a general rule, an excessively high thread count (above 600 or 800) won’t make much difference beyond the price tag.

Fact

Sleep improves your memory.

Sleep-deprived individuals have been shown to score lower on short-term memory tests compared to those who had a good night’s sleep. Definitely one of the sleep facts to remember.

Myth

Global warming isn’t real because it still gets cold.

Global warming is causing the Earth’s average surface temperature to increase. This is not only making heatwaves and droughts more likely but it’s also causing changes to our natural climate systems. These changes are making extreme weather events more likely and more severe. For example, hurricanes and storms are becoming more intense, moving slower and taking longer to die down.
