Pup Nap

100 Posts & new posting schedule!

Thank you all for your readership to this beautiful project! It seems like just yesterday I was just starting this and hitting 100 posts seems unbelievable. I have honestly put a lot of work into this and I'm proud of what it has turned into.

As you can see I didn't post a news story for today. I just started work for the summer so my days are really long and I just wasn't able to get to this. Since all that is happening and I'm happy where the project is, I've decided to post less. Yes, three days a week is already a small amount but I want to enjoy the summer time! For now, I will just be posting when I come across something really interesting. This could be once a month or three times a week.. it all just depends. I will try to not put too much time between posts though.. promise! :)

I hope you all continue to enjoy the information I've provided so far and stick around for great things.

Thank you readers!

Love,

Cherie

Chatter Induced Napping

Know your "chronotype": Lark vs. Owl

"Chronotype" - attribute reflecting at what time of the day a human's physical functions are active, change or reach a certain level. 

To determine the best time to nap, it helps to know your chronotype. In other words, if you were entirely free to plan your day, what time would you go to bed, wake up and take a nap? 

Larks are usually apt to wake as early as 6am and go to sleep around 9 pm or 10 pm. This will usually lead you to feeling sleepy around 1-1:30 pm.

Owls usually prefer to go to bed after midnight or 1am and wake around 8 am or 9 am. This leads to a later "sleep gate" and will leave you feeling a sleepy around 2:30-3 pm.

So, are you a lark or an owl?

Car-napper Caught Napping

(Story from June 1, 2012)


A suspected Post Falls, Idaho car burglar appears to have fallen asleep on the job.

Police say 33-year-old Jason D. Hill was arrested early Thursday morning after he was caught napping inside one of the vehicles he was trying to steal outside a Post Falls apartment complex.

It was reported that Hill intended to hotwire the care but his plan fell through around 4 A.M when he was found outside of the car by the owner, who called the police.

Police say he appears to have been removing the car's stereo when he nodded off.

Authorities say the vehicle Hill drove to the scene was stolen. He is suspected of breaking into four vehicles parked at the apartment complex.
