#SleepDisorders Don't sleep through this! This morning on CBC Radio #Vancouver's Early Edition, Rick Cluff and a hopefully wide-awake guest will talk about sleep disorders. I'll probably miss this one because I won't be in the car until later, and "car" and "radio" always go together in my life. (Can't have one without the other.) Besides, I have no trouble sleeping. Except in bed. via Facebook

Hug a Swedish Researcher today. A University of Gothenburg study concludes that "Drinking two pints of #beer a week could help cut the risk of heart attacks in women by up to a third. It's no small study. The researcher tracked beer consumption over a 50-year period. A 50-year beer study. Pick me! I want to die giving my life to research. via Facebook

You tell me that people who eat a diet rich in fish, fruits and vegetables but low in meat may lose fewer brain cells as they age... but I think it's just the fruit salad talking. via Facebook

A healthy baby emerges from the womb with 100 billion neurons, nearly twice as many neurons as adults. So, tell me, why can't a baby change his own diaper, or drive herself home from the hospital? via Facebook

My brainwaves lately seem to have quite a bit of caffeine content. I've noticed that secret for ordering cheap coffee at Starbucks is to order a "short" size, which is not listed on the menu, of course. It is larger than Tim Horton's "small" which is equivalent to a thimble full. Awhile back, I noticed Starbucks started serving "shorts" in larger cup. They just put in less coffee. Perhaps it was a way of saying, "You're so cheap we're only going to fill part of the cup." The humiliation attempt apparently failed to achieve the desired result, more recently, Starbucks has been offering the short cups again but the sleeves only fit the larger size cups. This is their way of making us "shorties" feel BOTH cheap and awkward. Maybe it's time to start acting like a "real" Canadian and lining up at Tim Horton's? via Facebook
