Dogs often lick sheets for reasons that are mostly innocent. It could be because your dog is attracted to how you smell, or there might be small food particles or salty residue on the fabric from your sweat. However, sometimes this behavior is caused by more serious issues like anxiety, OCD, or pica (a condition characterized by craving and eating non-food items).

Fact

The world record for the longest period without sleep is 11 days.

Californian student Randy Gardner set the world record for the longest time without sleep in 1964 at approximately 264 hours. However, health specialists highly discourage from attempting this. Within 3 to 4 days without sleep, you may start having hallucinations. Sleep is a biological function for a reason – it is not advisable to pull all-nighters all the time.

Myth

You should be working out at least an hour a day.

Regular exercise has great health benefits, but fitting in a workout every single day is not often feasible or even recommended. Everyone needs a rest day to let the body recover. Additionally, any activity is good activity even if it’s a 15-minute walk. Don’t cheat your body out of moving a bit because you think you don’t have enough time for a full workout.
