Studies have linked sadness and boredom to the perception that time has slowed down. Making yourself be positive and happy will help you feel like time is going by more quickly. Feeling overly sleepy will make the class seem to go by more slowly. You can make yourself feel more awake by acting more awake and keeping your head up. Further, try maintaining a straight, alert posture and keep your feet grounded on the floor. Napping always makes time go by faster. While this is a high-risk move because you may be reprimanded for sleeping, it is also high reward because the time will seem to go by much faster than it normally does. Being aware of your surroundings will keep your brain more engaged. Being engaged with ideas or people will make the time feel as though it goes by more quickly. Spacing out, or staring into space and becoming unengaged, will simply make everything drag by.

Summary: Be happy. Keep your head off of the desk. Take a short nap. Try not to space out.

When you're trying to drink wine to promote better health, choose the type of wine that has the most benefits. Not every type of wine provides the same benefits. When you compare red and white wine, they are very similar on some fronts - like total calories or carbohydrates. However, when you compare the amount of the antioxidants and resveratrol, red wine out shines white wine considerably. Although white wine does taste great, stick to red for your best bet. Red wine has 7 mcg of lutein and zeaxanthin, 8.4 mg of choline, and significantly higher levels of resveratrol. Within the group of red wines you have a variety of options from different types of grapes. Some grapes produce wines that have higher antioxidant contents than others. In general, it's been discovered that dryer red wines have significantly higher levels of antioxidants (like resveratrol) compared to sweeter red wines. Sweeter wines have a slightly higher sugar content which edges out the antioxidants that are found naturally in wine. Dry red wines to try include: pinot noir, merlot or cabernet. Wines like dessert wines, port or zinfandels are sweeter and have a high sugar content. One specific type of a drier red wine is pinot noir. Different red wines have been studied for their nutrient content and this particular grape and the wine has been found to be nutrient dense. Not only is it a tasty type of wine, but it also has been found to have the highest concentrations of resveratrol. The reason that pinot noir is especially high in resveratrol is due to the cool, rainy climates it's typically grown in. Another option you may find at restaurants, cookouts or a bar may be a wine spritzer or a mixed drink made with wine. These are beverages that you should skip as they do not provide as many health benefits. Wine spritzers are a mixed drink that contains wine and a sweetened carbonated drink like club soda, seltzer water or soda. These are higher in calories, sugar and since the wine is diluted, the amount of antioxidants you're consuming is lower. Wine mixes may be something like a sangria. This is wine mixed with liquor, fruit juice and occasionally a carbonated beverage like club soda or seltzer water. Sangria especially, has a higher alcohol content, but the wine itself is diluted so you're missing out on the beneficial nutrients of the wine but are consuming a larger quantity of alcohol.

Summary: Choose red wine over white. Go for dry red wine over sweeter wines. Pick up a bottle of pinot noir. Skip wine spritzers or other wine mixes.

Catarrh, especially when caused by allergies, may be triggered by environmental hazards. Try to minimize your exposure to anything that tends to trigger outbursts. If you have any allergens you know of, such as pollen, minimize your exposure to them throughout the day. Smoky places tend to trigger catarrh, so stay away from areas prone to smoke. Air conditioners and heaters tend to dry out air. This can make catarrh worse or trigger it again after it passes. Try to stay away from such environments. If you work in an office that uses an air conditioner or heater, request to sit away from the unit to avoid triggering catarrh. Dry air can make you more prone to catarrh. Buy a humidifier to moisten the air in your home. This can help prevent you from developing catarrh again. You can buy a humidifier online or at a department store.
Summary: Avoid anything that triggers symptoms. Avoid air conditioning and heaters. Humidify the air in your home.
