A Word From Our Sponsor: The lawn tree blooms!
- Exercise helps a lot! A walk after supper can help.
- Those camping trips and playing outdoors made Mike tired.

- 20 minutes to half an hour is enough! Don’t nap after supper!
- Slipknot is an awesome band! But not a good choice before bed…
- Keep your room nice and cool with fresh air…
