Article: This is one of the most important things to consider. Good beds don't always mean "soft," so get one that provides good support to your back and make sure you are comfortable sleeping on it. Be sure to use a pillow that is comfortable and supportive for your sleeping style. Having the right pillow will ensure that you wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free. If you are comfortable, you will be more likely to sleep longer. Keep your bedroom properly ventilated so you get plenty of fresh air. Set the temperature of your room appropriately, not too warm or too cold. Typically this will be between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, but you should adjust the temperature so that you feel comfortable. Setting the temperature just slightly cooler than comfortable -- so that you're fine, but still need covers -- will help you sleep. If your room is stuffy, try cracking the window a bit before bed time. In addition to providing extra airflow and controlling room temperature, a fan produces a low, consistent level of background noise. This can help eliminate auditory stimuli that keep you from falling and staying asleep. Keep in mind that for some, a fan might not be helpful. If it doesn't work for you, then don't use one. Try to keep your room dark at all times. Your brain is stimulated by light signal, so keeping a dark room helps you get to sleep faster. You can help with this by installing blackout blinds or curtains This applies even to small lights, like those on your T.V., a digital clock or D.V.D. player. The absence of light eliminates the presence stimuli that can alter or affect your sleeping patterns. If there is some reason you cannot, or do not wish to, install blinds or curtains, you can invest in a sleep mask to help simulate darkness. Check if your room is free from mosquitoes and other pests. Also, if you have pets in your home, make sure they can't access your bed or enter your room to avoid disturbances while sleeping. There is evidence that it is easier to sleep in a fresh, clean, or nice smelling space. Try spraying your room with a mild room spray to lighten up your mood and the ambience in your bedroom. If you choose to use scented candles, be sure to put them out before falling asleep to avoid fires in the home.

Article: This therapy is done by putting normal antibodies in your system through an IV. This then helps your immune system respond better to the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. It takes about a week to start working and the benefits can last up to 3-6 weeks. You may experience side effects like dizziness, chills, headaches, and fluid retention. This procedure filters your blood through a machine to remove antibodies that are blocking signals from your nerves to your muscles. The benefits of this treatment usually only last a few weeks before you have to go in for another treatment. After several treatments, your doctor may need to implant a long, flexible tube into your chest to make it easier to access your vein. This treatment can have side effects like low blood pressure, muscle cramps, heart rhythm issues, and bleeding. This medication can help to reduce certain white blood cells in your body, boosting your immune system and making your condition more manageable. You must go to an infusion center or hospital to get this medication put into your body over several weeks. You will need to then go back several months later to get the treatment done again, as needed.

Article: The amaryllis should lose its foliage as the summer ends and autumn begins. When this begins to happen, start giving the plant slightly smaller quantities of water, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Trim the yellow or brown leaves once they have withered by cutting them off next to the neck of the bulb. Allow living green leaves to remain on the plant. Once the weather is cooler and most of the leaves have died, bring the amaryllis indoors. Place the pot in a cool, dark area between 40 and 50F (510C), such as a basement. If you do not have a suitable area for a pot, you may carefully remove the bulb and roots from the soil and place it in the crisper (vegetable drawer) of a refrigerator. Always bring the amaryllis in before the first frost, which typically occurs at 32F or 0C night temperature. If storing in your refrigerator, do not store fruit in your refrigerator at the same time. Many fruits, especially apples, release chemicals that can sterilize your amaryllis bulb. Leave the amaryllis in the cool, dark environment for at least six weeks. Do not water it during this time, but do remove any remaining leaves as they die. This is the bulb's dormant period, and the plant must experience this in order to bloom again. If you want the amaryllis to rebloom by a particular date, such as Christmas, remove the bulb from the cool area at least six weeks before that day.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Reduce watering gradually as the leaves die. Remove the dead leaves. Bring the plant to a cool indoor area. Leave the bulb alone for 68 weeks. Move on to the next section after 68 weeks.
