Problem: Article: When you get back to the house after being outside for a while, take a shower and wash your hair. Your hair is a major carrier of pollen particles. Change your clothing as well, since pollen can cling to fabric and continue to produce symptoms long after you come indoors. Allergens like mold and dust can lurk on shelves, around windows, and in heating vents, where they can wreak havoc during the spring season. Deep clean your house just before the springtime in order to minimize indoor allergens. Consider getting your heating vents professionally cleaned every few years to eliminate potential allergens. Using natural products like vinegar, baking soda, rubbing alcohol, and lemon are a lot easier on your seasonal allergies. You'll have to double up your cleaning efforts during periods of high pollen counts: Mop at least once a week and vacuum twice weekly. Dust shelving before you mop and vacuum, working top to bottom to optimize your cleaning efforts. Wear a mask while vacuuming, since mold, dust and pollen can be kicked into the air during the cleaning. If possible, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter. A HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter pushes air through a very fine mesh which traps pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke. Vacuums with HEPA filters stir up less dust and trap more dust from their exhausts. Prevent mold and other allergens from growing by staying on top of cleaning these areas. Wipe down all surfaces at least weekly, and reduce lingering moisture in locations like inside the refrigerator, sinks, and bathtub. Use trash cans with insect-proof lids, especially in the kitchen, and store food in sealed containers. Keep track of when to get rid of items that are out-of-date or moldy. Like your hair, pollen can cling to the fur of dogs and cats, and your furry friend can transfer those allergens on to bedding and upholstery. If you have pets that go outside, you may need to vacuum your floor even more often than twice a week in order to keep pollen at bay. Give your pet a wash more frequently than normal, up to twice a month. Avoid hanging laundry outdoors to dry during spring allergy season. Instead, use your dryer or invest in an indoor clothesline to use during these times of the year. Pollen can cling to sheets and clothing hanging on the line, and then be transferred into your home when the laundry is brought inside. Making your bed and covering your sheets and pillows with a comforter, blanket, or duvet will keep allergens from settling on your pillow during the day. You should also wash all bed linens in hot water at least once a week (twice, if possible), to decrease the presence of allergens.
Summary: Change your clothes and wash your hair. Conduct a thorough spring cleaning of your home. Vacuum and mop your floors regularly. Make your kitchen and bathrooms mold-resistant. Keep pets off of beds and other furniture. Dry your laundry inside. Make your bed every morning.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Thunderstorms make a good deal of noise. To get to sleep you will either have to ignore the noise or drown it out. One method for the latter is to use earplugs. You can buy these at any pharmacy in a variety of kinds, including foam, cotton, or wax. Following the directions on the box, insert the earplugs into your ear canal. Then lie down and try to sleep. Earplugs vary in effectiveness. You will want to get a kind that keeps out the loudest noise, which is measured in decibels. Do not use tissue paper to plug your ears. This seems like a good idea in a pinch and is easy to do. However, there is a danger that the paper will rip and end up lodged in your ear canal. All things considered, it is a bad idea to put household objects inside of your ear. It could be music classical, ambient music like that of Brian Eno, or even whale songs provided that the music is at a low volume and has a low dynamic range. You don't want sudden noises to wake you when you're on the verge of drifting off. It might also be noise from a fan. The point is to have low-level, ambient sound. Try a free online white noise generator like SimplyNoise. Or, you might also invest in a white noise application for your iPad, as they've been proven to help people fall asleep more quickly. Moreover, the constant, low-level sound can also help mask more abrupt noises that may disturb you when you finally do fall asleep. Try putting down your shades and drawing your curtains if the light from lightning flashes disturbs your sleep. Or, you might try sleeping in a room with no window, which will also insulate you from sound. Turning on a dim light or "night light" might help. One of these lights can diminish the contrast between total darkness and flashes of light from lightning If you still see lightning through your window, consider moving your head away from the window and try to close your eyes.

SUMMARY: Try using earplugs. Listen to white noise. Block out the lightning flashes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Whether you're screening potential candidates yourself or are being provided with potential matches, prioritize profiles that are detailed and well-written. A profile that doesn't include much detail might indicate that the individual isn't really interested in connecting with another person on a deeper level. The more detailed a profile is, the more likely it is that the person is interested in more than a hook-up. If dating a smoker or a non-vegan is an absolute no-go for you, then it's fine to eliminate candidates immediately based on that criteria. Overall, though, keep your list of criteria for immediate rejection short and specific. Otherwise, you may dismiss some good prospects without even giving them a chance. It's tempting to assign point values to different candidates and then choose the one with the most pointsor, similarly, the one with the most "pros" and least "cons." However, when it comes to finding a romantic match, it's usually better to rely more on overall "feel" than numerical evaluations. Also, there's nothing wrong with matching with more than one person at a time! Until you're in a committed, monogamous relationship, feel free to keep the playing field open. While it's true that some dating sites essentially use points systems to find your potential matches, keep in mind that their algorithms are much more complex than your pros/cons list. Also, it's still up to you to evaluate your potential matches to find the best option. Read the profile, look at the pictures, and envision going on a date with this person. Can you think of a few topics to talk about based on their profile information? If you can't help but imagine yourself smiling and having a good time, give them a shot! If you feel you have nothing in common with your match but are really attracted to them physically, you could always try messaging with them for a while to see if any commonalities pop up. Give yourself permission to talk to lots of people!
Summary: Look for profiles that are distinctive and descriptive. Make your "eliminate immediately" criteria limited and specific. Avoid using "points" or "pros/cons" rating systems. Imagine yourself on a date with each candidate.
