WRITTEN BY  Kara McKnight- 17 May 2012

Here's why it's important to get that well-deserved sleep and "Dream On."

Ahh, sleep. We all love it. Whether you're a Morning Person and can't wait to fall into your bed at the end of the day or a Night Owl who has a hard time prying themselves out of bed in the morning, everyone loves sleep at one time or another. Most of us, however, just aren't getting enough of it.

We've all heard it before (you may have even heard it here before!): getting enough sleep is important. But, if getting enough Zzzs is something you know you need to (or would like to) work on, check out the below infographic and hopefully the promise of a healthier, more vibrant you will be just too hard to resist...

Vision Care & Digital Devices

WRITTEN BY  Kara McKnight- 03 May 2012

How to care for your eyes in a world that's constantly online.

Today, most of us will have spent the majority of our day at a desk in front of a computer screen. Then, when we head home, many of us will spend a fair amount of time in front of a few other screens: televisions, iPads and smartphones.

Technolgy-wise, these machines are great; they help connect us to people and information (like this blog post!). However, health-wise, especially eye-health-wise...they're not so great. However, for many of us, not using a computer at work isn't exactly an option and ditching our smart phones or TV sets isn't very appealing. 

So, with the health of your eyes in mind, here are 5 tips to practice when using digital devices such as a computer:

  1. Customize your environment
  2. Think about lighting
  3. Adjust your reading angle
  4. Magnify the text on your screen
  5. Blink and take frequent break

For more details on these tips check out 5 Important Tips for Better Eye Health in a Digital World.
