Sleep Better...Feel More Rested

Do you ever wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed? Its probably because you did not sleep very well. Even if you were to sleep for 10 hours but it wasn't very good sleep, you wouldn't feel rested when you woke up. Most of us don't do very much to help us sleep better either.

To help you get the most out of your sleep, Lifehacker has put together a list of 10 tricks for getting the most out of your sleep. There are somethings you can do right before bed and others that you can other times during the day. Each idea contains an article/links that will give you more info about how to implement each idea.

Check the article out here and may your sleep be restful.

Battery Life...The On Going Battle Of Power

So my computer is almost six years old and has the original six cell battery in it. You know what is kinda awesome though...that battery still holds a 10 or so minute charge. Yep you read it right my six year old laptop battery still holds a small charge. Its inevitable though eventually it won't hold a charge at all.

Every night we plug our phones in and in the morning take them off the charger hoping they'll make it through the day. We haul that laptop to meetings and classes hoping that we won't be stuck without it (either because it is our only source of release from boredom or because we actually use it for work). Kids hope that their mp3 players' batteries don't die, otherwise they will have to actually listen to the teachers. We spend every day worrying about the battery life of our electronics, especially those we recharge. We try all sorts of things to make that life last longer and everyone waits for the next great battery that we won't have to recharge for a week or even a month. Well until that time, check out some tips from lifehacker on getting the most out of your rechargeable battery.

With great electronics, comes great battery worry!
