Drowsiness causes microsleeps lasting a few seconds, while the car keeps moving with no one in control. Rolling down the window or cranking up the radio only masks fatigue briefly. The only fix is sleep: pull over somewhere safe and take a 15 to 20 minute nap. Repeated yawning and heavy eyelids mean it's time to stop.
Chlorine on its own is fairly gentle. But when it combines with urine, sweat and other grime from swimmers, it forms chloramines, which cause stinging eyes and that classic 'chlorine smell'. A well-kept pool barely smells at all. Shower before you swim and never pee in the water.
Muscle mass slowly shrinks with age, putting independence at risk. But in 1990, a study had nursing home residents aged 86 to 96 train their legs for eight weeks: their strength more than doubled. Muscle responds to training at any age. Getting up from a chair without using your hands is already an exercise.
