In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Reading before bed is calming, and helps prepare your mind and body for a night of restful sleep. To get the most out of reading for bed, find a quiet space to read in. If you have guests or friends at your home, ask them to keep noise to a minimum. The brain is not made to multi-task, and if you try to watch TV and read at the same time, you'll find it is ineffective and frustrating. Turn off the noisy TV, and focus on reading. Light a candle to help you relax or set the mood while you're reading. Reading in bed can be bad for your posture if you allow yourself to slouch. So, it's important to sit or lie in a way that won't cause you any neck or back pain. Ensure that you have appropriate supports by using pillows or neck rests to keep your back and neck as vertical as possible. If you're lying down or sitting on a couch, add something helpful such as a horseshoe pillow or a large slanted pillow. Small neck pillows may be helpful too. Changing positions every 3045 minutes can also help you to avoid bad posture and can prevent you from feeling discomfort in your neck or back. Bring the book closer to your face to help you straighten out your back slightly. If you tend to feel sleepy when reading at night, avoid reading technical non-fiction, dense poetry, or heavy fiction that asks too much of you intellectually. These genres will be hard to follow if you're drowsy. So, read a light novel or short story at night. This will relax your mind, and prepare it for sleep and dreaming. If you're studying or finalizing work, consider doing the tough reading earlier in the night. That way, you can leave lighter reading for bedtime. Many different versions of the clip-on book light exist, but they all work basically the same way. Clip the clamp onto the back cover of your book, angle the bulb towards the page you're currently reading, and switch on the light. Some book lights are designed to clip on to the edge of your reading glasses instead. Either type of book light will keep the light source directly over the book, and won't wake up anyone else sleeping in the same room. You can purchase clip-on book lights at department stores, bookstores, or through online retailers. Most book lights require 1 or 2 AA batteries. If you're trying to read quietly and unobtrusively (e.g., without waking up your parents), crawl down beneath the covers and pull the top of the blankets back over your head. Then, switch on a flashlight and point it at your book. The blankets will prevent light from leaking out, so you can read comfortably for as long as you want. This approach may be impractical for an adult trying to avoid waking their partner in the same bed. Your partner may find the rustling under the covers even more distracting than sleeping with the lights on. When reading at night, you may find yourself sitting in a dark room, straining and squinting to read the words on the page or screen. This can exhaust and potentially damage your eyes. To avoid straining your eyes reading at night, sit or lie near a source of good lighting. You could read by the light of a lamp or an overhead light. If you need reading glasses, wear them. They will reduce the strain that causes your eyes to feel tired. Instead of flipping through the pages of a hard-copy book, try loading up an e-book on your tablet or smartphone. That way, you can put earphones in, hide any light source and listen to a book in the dark, without waking up any sleepers. Just try to avoid drifting off while the book is still playing, or you may lose your place. You can download audiobooks through the Kindle, Amazon, Google, or Apple online stores. Many public libraries also have audio books, either on CD or digitally.
Summary: Sit or recline in a quiet, calm environment. Prop pillows behind yourself to support your neck and back. Read light fiction at night to prepare yourself for sleep. Clip on a book light if you don't want bright lights on in your room. Situate yourself under the covers with a flashlight to read undetected. Avoid reading in the dark so you don't strain your eyes. Listen to an audiobook instead of reading.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you consume alcohol it sits in your stomach while it waits to be processed. If you don't have food in there, the alcohol will process faster and at one time. If you have food in your belly, the alcohol will enter your system more slowly and at a varied pace thus lessening the effects of alcohol immediately. This is especially important if you know you will be drinking for a sustained period, like a bar crawl. For the same reason that you want food in your stomach, drinking slowly will allow your body to process the alcohol over a period of time. Whereas, if you inundate your body with alcohol, it will be more difficult to process. Choose alcohols with fewer congeners (substances that are also produced during the fermentation process), which are less likely to cause a hangover. Light-colored beers and white wine have fewer congeners than darker beers and harder liquors. Stay away from brandy, whisky, and red wine. Cheap boozes tend to give you a worse hangover. Your body expends more energy to process impurities left in the alcohol. Clearer alcohols like vodka, gin, and white rum are good options.
Summary: Eat first. Drink slowly. Choose your beverages carefully.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're seasoned in making sewing patterns, you can make your own. Use your measurements to make your pattern, adding 1.5" for seam allowance. If you've never made your own pattern, a wedding dress is a very difficult pattern to begin with. Once you have your fabric and style picked out, you can go to fabric stores and look through pattern books or you can order online. Each will be rated by level of difficulty. Make sure that a key/glossary, layout, and step-by-step instructions are included. When you order your pattern, it is easy to combine multiple sizes to get the pattern as close to your measurements as possible. Patterns can be printed on a variety of materials. For example, it can be printed on large pieces of tissue paper, or stiffer white paper. The stiffer paper is better if you'll be using it a lot. If you decide on tissue paper, make an extra pattern, just in case something happens to the original.
Summary:
Make your own sewing pattern. Buy a sewing pattern. Use the right material.
