In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depression and difficulty sleeping often go hand in hand. If you have trouble getting the recommended amount of sleep, try to work on developing healthy sleeping habits: Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Expose yourself to bright light just after waking. Avoid eating a heavy meal within two or three hours of bedtime. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, especially in the evening. Foods that contain lots of sugar, fat, and salt can mess with your brain's reward system, which can worsen depression. Do your best to limit foods that can worsen depression, and maintain a healthy, balanced diet. Make sure you eat the recommended daily servings of proteins, fruits and veggies, and grains.

Like junk food, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and other drugs can mess up your reward system and worsen depression. Do your best to reduce your consumption of any of these substances. If possible, try to quit. Drugs and alcohol can also interact with prescription medications. It's important to be honest with your doctor and discuss potential drug interactions with them. Allowing yourself to experience a simple pleasure is a key part of self care. Make a mental list of things you love to do and schedule time every day for your me-time. Examples might include enjoying a good cup of coffee on the patio, getting a massage, taking a hot bath, painting or drawing, and snuggling up with a blanket and good book. When you make too many commitments, you set yourself up to fail. Stress can lead to feeling overwhelmed and depressed, so try to avoid packing your schedule. Break big projects up into smaller tasks that you can complete over several days, and don't be afraid to say no to commitments you can't keep. Avoid procrastinating so things don't pile up on you. Remember to give yourself time for breaks. Never feel bad if you need time to restore and recharge. Journaling can help you release tension, put order to chaotic feelings, track your progress over time, and find motivation to handle future struggles. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes to jot down that day's events, your feelings, conflicts, and worries. Every two or three weeks, read back your entries to remind yourself how you've overcome problems. Depression often leads to isolation, which in turn feeds depression and creates a vicious cycle. When you feel like isolating yourself, do your best to motivate yourself to reach out to someone. Give a friend or family member a call and ask them if they can hang out or have a chat. Other ways to stay social might be a local support group, religious services, or a group hobby or exercise class.
Summary: Try to get seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Eat a balanced diet. Avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, and other drugs. Do something you enjoy every day. Don't overbook yourself. Try keeping a journal. Do your best to stay social.

Problem: Article: You're going to be changing the appearance of your wood with a solution of warm water and baking soda. After the solution is mixed, you'll apply it to your wood with a paintbrush, allow it to dry, and then you can stain the wood if you desire. All things considered, for this project you'll need: A container (for your weathering solution) A paintbrush Baking soda Wood Wood staining (recommended; optional) Since you've only applied a single coat to your wood, it shouldn't take too long for it to dry. In most climates, 10 minutes should be enough for your wood to be ready for staining, though in humid regions this may take longer. If your wood is taking longer to dry than you'd like, you can use a hair dryer to dry it more quickly. Observe your wood closely at this point. If it is not as weathered as you wanted, you should apply another coat of your weathering solution and allow it to dry again.
Summary:
Collect your weathering supplies. Allow the wood to dry.
