Americans Like To Sleep At Work - Just over half of Americans snooze on the job.
Nearly 52-percent of those taking part in a recent mattress company poll admitted to dozing off during business hours. Amerisleep found tech workers the mostly likely to admit to sleeping while on the clock. 70-percent of those industry workers admitted to it.
The survey also revealed people in the medical or healthcare fields took the longest naps at work. The most popular spots for office naps include desks, cubicles and meeting rooms. Some nappers even said they slept in their vehicles at work.
One interesting note, the more money people make, the less they snooze on the job. Naps at work are considered good for productivity according to some recent studies, Source: CNBC

Is Netflix Ruining Your Sex Life With Your Partner?
Netflix could be killing sex โ with new research suggesting couples get into bed and watch shows on their iPads instead of getting romantic. Once a code for casual sex, people may now be taking โNetflix and Chillโ rather more literally โ perhaps to the detriment of our love lives. A study by researchers at Lancaster University in the UK reveals that the busiest hour for Internet use is now between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., driven by those watching streaming services such as Netflix, iPlayer and YouTube.
- Do you prefer to watch Netflix together instead of having sex?

Baby Born At Chipotle Gets Burrito Themed Baby Shower
We hear crazy baby birth stories all the time, but this one takes theโฆ burrito? Adrianna Alvarez went labor with her fourth child on April 10th - and was on the way to the hospital courtesy of her baby daddy, Saul Flores. She knew they weren't gonna make it - and called 911.
The operator told them to pull over and wait for an ambulance. You guessed it...it just happens that they turned into a Chipotle parking lot. And yes, Adrianna ended up giving birth to Jaden Flores right there in the parking lot.
โHe became the little Chipotle burrito baby,โ says mom - and Chipotle agrees! Thatโs why they threw the little guy a burrito-themed baby shower and even invited dispatcher Angie Schell, who helped the couple through the birth, and their families.
- The party included cake and cupcakes topped with fake burritos and they even gifted little Jaden a tortilla swaddle blanket. Whatโs even cooler? Angie got to meet mom and dad. โWe donโt hardly ever get to meet our patients, ever,โ Angie explains. โWe donโt even know what happens to them after weโre done sometimes. So to be able to share the good news and this is what dispatchers do out there.โ
- ONE MORE THING! Get this - little Jaden's parents first met and used to work at a Chipotle.

The Most Ridiculous GoFundMe Campaigns of All Time
The rise of crowd-funding platforms like GoFundMe has given people the opportunity to raise money for those in need or help fund worthy causes they believe in.
Of course, there are also people that see these crowd-funding sites as an easy way to get money for any ridiculous request that might pop into their head.
These requests usually involve something they want but would rather not pay for themselves, like a trip overseas, and often pales in importance to, letโs say, a family that have had all their possessions destroyed in a house fire or someone facing mounting medical bills.
These crowd-funding ploys range from laughable to outright absurd and, for some unknown reason, people actually send REAL MONEY to these guys.
Help to fund a โspiritual journeyโ
A US woman took to GoFundMe to raise money for what, in her mind, was a very worthy, life changing cause: taking a trip around the world to further her spiritual journey. Becca Gronski describes herself as a โspiritual teacher, life coach, reiki and crystal healerโ and asks all the people she has helped on their personal spiritual journeys to โgive backโ by helping fund her holiday.
โIโm raising money to support myself on my travels and spiritual journey around the world,โ she explains in her post.
The campaign was set up in February last year and 82 people have donated $1,220 ($AU1,619) to her cause. But it seems that many made a donation just so they could share their thoughts on Beccaโs path to enlightenment.
Spend money to prove the Earth is flat
It turns out that the rapper B.o. B is part of that entertaining crew that thinks the Earth is flat. In fact, he is so sure that the government is lying to us about the true shape of our planet that he is challenging people to prove him wrong. How, you may ask? By raising $1 million ($A1.32m) to send multiple satellites into space in order to โshow B.o. B the curveโ.
These flea-bitten newlyweds want a second honeymoon
Sarah and Sam Davey hoped to raise ยฃ300 ($550) for a fresh getaway following their stay at the Trecarn Hotel in Torquay, Devon, UK, after claiming their trip was cut short due to a flea infestation. In their online appeal the couple blasted the hotel, writing: โThe room was dirty there were hairs in our bed and my husband has been bit all over his body by fleas and after numerous complaints they have done nothing.
โSo we had to leave on Tuesday morning and come home five days early because they ruined our honeymoon.โ
Help me purchase Dave Grohl
Dave Grohlโs self-confessed โbiggest fanโ decided to that if he could get a bit of money together he could hang out with his idol every day. So Frank Pain asked the internet to send him some money so he could purchase Grohl. Yep you read that right. He wanted $35,000 ($AU46,300) so he could buy the dude from Foo Fighters and Nirvana.
โIโm his biggest fan and figured I can round up enough scratch to purchase him so we can hang out and high five and s**t. Heck, I may give him a bro-hug or two as well,โ he wrote.
Pay for my kids trip to Disney World
Nikki Smith set up a crowd-funding page, asking for ยฃ5,000 ($A8,000) to be able to get her daughters to the theme park, but was slammed online for using the site to raise the money.
She ended up taking the page down but later re-launched it, saying โI never meant to upset anyoneโ. โI am not a bad person,โ she wrote on the new campaign. โI also am not asking people for their hard earned money, people have a choice.โ
She upped the goal for the new campaign to ยฃ10,000 ($AU18,000) and has raised a hefty ยฃ7,328 ($A13,170).

Wedding Bouncy Castles Are Happening
Itโs wedding season once again and that means many happy couples will be saying โI doโ in the next few months. Brides and grooms spend so long planning their big events and want to make their nuptials their own unique celebration, but some trends catch on and more couples want to incorporate them into their own weddings. And one trend thatโs big in the U.K. now: wedding bouncy castles.
Yes, the same inflatable things that kids jump in at birthday parties are becoming regulars at wedding receptions in the U.K. A Wedding Wonderland, a company based in England started getting attention for renting its wedding-themed bounce house. Unlike the ones for kidsโ parties, this thing is pure white and pristine, so it actually looks fit for a wedding, complete with flower decorations and everything.
Now other companies are catching on and renting their own wedding bouncy houses for newlyweds and guests to jump for joy in, but the trend seems to have stayed across the pond for now. Of course, itโs only a matter of time for an inflatables company in the U.S. to get in on the action and bring the wedding bounce house stateside.

Ways To Stop Stress In One Minute
Weโve all had a heated argument or a crazy day at work that left us stressed out and in search of a way to decompress. And when that happens, experts say the best way to handle it is to deal with the negative feelings and let them go. Of course, thatโs easier said than done.
We may have our own ways to de-stress, like a glass of wine or two, but there are other more effective methods out there. So next time you need to reset and relax, try one of these:
- Do something else - After you have a tense experience, get your brain focused on a smartphone game, which makes it less reactive to stress. Playing a game lets you detach emotionally so you can solve the problem or move past it. Playing puzzles or memory games like Tetris works best.
- Work out slower - While you may feel like taking out your tension with an intense sweat sesh, light exercise may be better at easing anxiety. Research shows working out at 40% capacity lowers levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, but pushing yourself harder in a workout actually raises it.
- Write it out - Go old school and pull out the pen and paper to document your stressful situation. Mithu Storoni, author of โStress-Proofโ explains that writing helps remove the emotion of the situation, which reduces its intensity.
