Managing Cholesterol: What You're Doing
Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver that plays an important role in your body. It helps with the production of hormones and other substances your body needs to function. Cholesterol is also used to make cell membranes and repair injuries in cells, among other functions. But when you have too much cholesterol, it can build up on artery walls and form plaque, which narrows arteries and reduces blood flow. Atherosclerosis, or artery hardening, is the medical term for this ailment.

In Defense of Those Suffering with Sleep 'Problems'
I recently underwent a sleep study. This was one of the more fascinating nights I’ve spent in my lifetime. The Alhambra sleep clinic was in an unassuming corporate tower across from the Costco I visit monthly with my girlfriend. For some reason, the upper-floor suite in a corporate building was not what I’d envisioned. Finding the correct apartment, I entered expecting to hear beeping tones and to see panels of flashing lights, monitors, and a team of technicians conferring over results or charts. Instead, I found a more or less disheveled work desk with too many file folders crowding a single computer. An open supply closet revealed sheets, blankets, cleaning supplies, and plastic tubs filled with indiscernible equipment. A single technician was visible down a hallway attending to another client in one of the study rooms and I was instructed to take a seat until the tech was ready to get me prepped for the study.

Sleep: A Learned Skill, A Mastered Weapon
Dreams. That's what I love the most about sleeping. A welcome break from reality maybe, or just the randomness of the plot twists. Shifting from paragliding off a cliff with the love of your life firmly strapped in front of you, to your 27 year old self writing an algebra exam at your former high school. I love dreams but not sleep, and the former seems to work out perfectly for me. As soon as my upper and lower eyelids touch each other involuntarily, I'm found in an alternate earth with knowledge and memories that I never had. And then I wake up, back in the real, wondering what all that meant. But the greatest thing about dreams is seeing it happen in real life and realizing that you already dreamed it. Fascinating. I once dreamed a costly heartbreak, with me being the breaker of the heart and the bearer of the cost. Of course, the dream was as figurative as it could be, but I know that the only reason why I didn't see it coming was because I didn't pay attention. Though it's hard to pay attention when you dream every sleep. Curating dreams will do a lot for my creativity but that feels like it would be slave work. For now, I dream every night and I write them down sometimes.
