Q: Establish a time to get to nap. Having this designated time can help regulate your circadian rhythms, or body clock, and may also help you fall asleep during the day without stress. When you set your nap, make sure that you consider factors like eating and time of day. You want to let yourself digest food for an hour or so, for example, so that it doesn't hamper your ability to fall asleep. The best way to set your internal body clock is to nap at the same time every day. Don't set a naptime that is too early or late. If you can't fit it in one day, don't stress. You may find you can fall asleep more easily in the evening without a nap. Stick to this schedule as much as possible and adjust it if necessary. You won't want or be able to sleep if your space isn't comfortable.

If you consume nicotine or caffeine, avoid them within at least an hour of your naptime. If you work the night shift, then limit your caffeine intake to the beginning of your shift. If you have alcohol with lunch, limit yourself to one to two alcoholic drinks and don't try and sleep immediately after drinking them. Eating too close to your naptime or having a heavy lunch can affect your ability to fall asleep.

Q: Shampoo and conditioner for color-treated hair is usually gentler than regular shampoo. Dye can dry out your hair, and color-preserving shampoo and conditioner often have vitamin A and vitamin E to help lock in moisture. By washing your hair with shampoo every other day at most, you'll maintain color in your hair longer. Use dry shampoo in place of liquid shampoo to help maintain color even more. A lightweight hair gloss can add a little life to your dyed hair. It will improve shine, reduce brassiness, and smooth your strands, making it look fresh. Choose a hair gloss that best matches your current color. The sun can bleach your hair color. If you plan to spend time outside, wear a hat with a brim or rim to cover your hair. Or, spritz your hair from root to tip with a color-protecting spray. These formulas also help prevent dryness and breakage. Touching up your roots with dye is very similar to dyeing your hair, but you'll apply dye only to your roots. Work in sections, and brush dye onto your roots. Be careful not to dye hair that's already colored, which can cause a discolored line. Rinse and condition all of your hair after you've let your hair dye develop in your roots.
A: Use a color-preserving shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo your hair every other day at most to make color last. Apply tinted hair gloss every other week to boost color. Protect your hair from the sun's UV rays with a hat or spray. Touch up your roots every 4 to 8 weeks as needed.

A:
Measure out enough wax to fill your candle holder, plus some extra and set it aside.
