article: Poker is based on assigning ranked value to different combinations of cards. The hand with the rarest combination wins. Below are the different standard poker hands from lowest to highest. Not a made hand, so its value is based on the highest card, then the next highest, on down, comparing to other hands, and so it can tie/win when no one has a better hand. Two is the lowest and Ace is the highest. Two of the same value card. Example: 3(♠️) - J(♣️) - J(♥️) - 2(♥️) - 5(♦️) is a pair of Jacks. Two groups of two of the same value card. Example: 4(♥️) - 4(♦️) - 9(♠️) - 9(♣️) - A(♠️) is "two pairs, 9's and 4's", "nines and fours up". Three of the same value cards (a set). Example: 6(♣️) - 6(♦️) - 6(♠️) - 3(♠️) - J(♣️) is three 6's, "trip sixes", "a set of sixes". Five cards running in order "off suit". Example: 5(♣️) - 6(♠️) - 7(♣️) - 8(♦️) - 9(♥️) is the "9-high-straight". Five cards "suited" (all the same suit). Example: 5(♥️) - 7(♥️) - 9(♥️) - J(♥️) - Q(♥️) is a "queen-high-flush". Three of a kind and a pair. Example: 7(♥️) - 7(♣️) - 7(♠️) - Q(♥️) - Q(♦️) is "full house 7's and queens". 4 cards all with the same value. Example: J(♥️) - J(♠️) - J(♣️) - J(♦️) - 5(♣️) is "four jacks." The highest possible hand in poker. All cards are suited (of the same suit). Example: 3(♥️) - 4(♥️) - 5(♥️) - 6(♥️) - 7(♥️) is the "7-high-straight-flush". Example: 10(♣️) - J(♣️) - Q(♣️) - K(♣️) - A(♣️) is the "ace-high-straight-flush." If you have two players at the showdown each with the same type of hand, the winner is determined by whose version is higher in number. Here's how this rule plays out: A pair of 9's beats a pair of 4's. Two pair, Jack's and 2's, beats two pair, 7's and 5's. A straight that runs as high as Queen beats a straight that only runs up to 10. An Ace-high-flush beats a King-high-flush. If hands have combinations of the same value, the hand with the highest extra card wins. For example a pair of 8's with an Ace-high remainder ("kicker") beats a pair of 8's with a 10-high. If both had the Ace kicker then you proceed to the next highest card in each hand. Kickers are very important in hold'em. If your opponent opened the pot with AK and you call with KQ, then a king comes on the flop, the pair of kings will likely make you bet higher, but now he has the Ace kicker...

article:
Nerves in your brain control your body's clock, known as your circadian rhythm. This rhythm is established by following a predictable routine, which is why you are able to wake up at the same time on the weekend as you are during the week if all factors are equal. So the best way to adjust your sleep cycle is to be consistent and make it a routine. Take care not to deprive yourself of sleep. There are many studies about the dangers of sleep deprivation so talk to your medical professional before attempting to change your sleep schedule for a long period of time. More sleep isn't always healthier than less sleep. Scientists don't know whether sleeping longer is a symptom of poor health or the cause of it. Consult your health professional to see if there is a deeper concern as to why you are staying in bed longer such as sleep apnea or depression. If you stay up later than normal because you don't feel tired, don't force yourself to sleep but rather let your body adjust naturally. Eventually, you'll be tired earlier and will be able to easily fall asleep at an earlier time. Your body will naturally regulate your sleep schedule. Don't feel frustrated if you can't fall asleep because you might develop insomnia from becoming anxious at the thought of not being able to fall asleep. Trust that your new cycle with set itself. Each of us have different capacities at which we can function with little to no sleep. Some of us can be fully alert with just 4 hours of sleep while others need more than 8. Calculate how much time you will need to get enough sleep to perform the task you want and set your night's schedule accordingly. For example, if you want to wake up to catch a meteor shower at 3am and know you are able to function with only 4 hours of sleep, get into bed around 10:30pm. If you're just waking up in the middle of the night for a specific one-time event, planning exactly when you should go to bed is smart. But if you're trying to adjust your sleep cycle for a longer period of time, let your new cycle come naturally, and don't try to force it.
