INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Distance yourself from your cell phone, the TV, and other electronics. Don't surf the internet, either.

Cold air will help to keep you awake, while warm air will make it harder for you to stay awake. Think of the nights you can't sleep because of being cold compared to the nights when the cozy warmth of a room causes you to nod off. If you find the cold air is effective in keeping you awake, you can even go to the bathroom and splash your face with cold water. Not everyone improves their alertness in cold air. For some people, it works the other way around; Warm air causes them to stay awake and the cold makes them fall asleep. Choose whatever works best for you. Don't set up a workspace on your bed, on a couch, or on the floor. If you work in any other place than a cold, hard table and chair, you will feel very tempted to sleep and the more comfortable the location, the worse you'll feel. If possible, work somewhere far away from your sleeping area or bed, so that it's an effort to try to go back and sleep. Try to be around people. Knowing that others may be watching you may motivate you from sleeping in your chair. Be careful of slumping! When you're tired, slumping your body becomes a natural habit.

You will fall asleep, falling into a crazed dream state in which you convince yourself that the work has been done already. If you can't remember what you've just read or you're nodding off involuntarily, you need to listen to your body and go to sleep. Sometimes it's better to get 3 or 4 hours of sleep. rather than be in a complete daze the next day.

SUMMARY: Turn off all of your devices. Work with the windows open. Avoid working in comfortable places. Maintain an upright posture. Acknowledge your limits.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Government farm grants are given based on a wide range of relatively specific criteria. For example, many government farm grants are only provided to those farms that qualify as a "small farm." A small farm is typically defined as those farms bringing in gross receipts of less than $250,000 annually. Some of the main types of government grants include: Farm labor grants, which can be used to locate, hire and pay farm employees. New farmer grants, which are used to help those looking to start operating a new farm. Environmental quality incentive grants, which are provided to those farmers who agree to employ environmentally friendly farming processes in exchange for grant money. The website explains all of the different grant programs available and provides details on eligibility requirements and application procedures. Call your state Department of Agriculture or access their website for more information about farm grants provided by your local or state government. If you live in a rural or tribal location, you might be able to get grants from your regional government as well. Oftentimes additional grants are made on a needs basis when funding is available to help in the areas of pest management, water conservation, and energy. Check the USDA's website, or www.grants.gov for opportunities that are only available during specific years or for specific communities.
