These Tricks Will Help You Fall Asleep in 10 Minutes or Less

Sleep latency is a term used to describe the amount of time it takes for a person to fall asleep. The average person takes around 10 to 20 minutes to conk out at night, but as some know far too well, it can take much longer after what seems to be an endless fit of tossing and turning. This is especially true if you suffer from anxiety or stress. 

It turns out you may be harming your quality of rest if it takes you longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep. And in turn, poor rest can have a negative effect on your mood, metabolism, cognitive skills, your immune system and overall health. So it's important to find ways to calm your body and mind long enough that you feel relaxed enough to take a snooze. 

Continue reading to learn how the military method, meditation and muscle relaxation can improve sleep latency and lull you to sleep faster than you ever could counting sheep.

Falling asleep with the military method

Individuals in the military have irregular sleep schedules, early morning rises and not-so-cozy sleeping quarters. In response, members created the "military method" to quickly and efficiently fall asleep.

• Step 1: Lie in your ideal sleeping position. Starting with the face, relax the different muscles, including your brows, lips, eyelids and mouth.  
• Step 2: Move down to your arms. Start with the shoulders and keep them relaxed, followed by your elbows and then wrists.
• Step 3: Relax your chest and take deep, rhythmic breaths.
• Step 4: Move down your body and focus on relaxing your bottom-half, from your waist down to your feet.
• Step 5: Use guided imagery to imagine a tranquil scene that makes you feel relaxed and happy. This might be on a beach by the ocean, a quiet and breezy meadow or even a comfortable room. If stressful or anxious thoughts disrupt your flow, attempt to move past them by reshifting your focus back to visualization or muscle relaxation.

Fall asleep using progressive muscle relaxation

One study involving 32 young volunteers analyzed the effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR). The results revealed that PMR was successful in lowering the heart rate, improving sleep efficiency and sleep latency. The goal is to use mindfulness, breathing techniques and muscle relaxation to relieve stress and promote a restful sleep.

• Step 1: Lie in a comfortable sleeping position and close your eyes. Take deep breaths and slowly inhale and exhale.  
• Step 2: Scrunch your face and tense the muscles for 10 seconds. After, release tension and return to taking slow, deep breaths.
• Step 3: Move down to the shoulders and flex them for 10 seconds. Release and return to taking deep breaths.
• Step 4: Like the military method, repeat this with the other parts of your body ending with the feet. Avoid any areas where you might experience pain when you tense your muscles.

Always follow the 20-minute rule

If you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep and 20 minutes pass, don't keep lying there. The longer you lie in bed without falling asleep, the more you stress that you aren't falling asleep. Get out of bed and practice a relaxing activity or hobby until you feel yourself getting drowsy. This may include:

1. Reading
2. Listening to soft music
3. Gentle yoga stretches
4. Taking a bath
5. Drinking herbal tea

GoPro exits drone market, hints at search for a buyer, partner

GoPro exits drone market, hints at search for a buyer, partner

GoPro's move into the drone market is coming to an end. 

In the company's fourth quarter 2017 results announcement, GoPro said it will discontinue its Karma drone and exit the category. It cited "margin challenges in an extremely competitive aerial market" and "a hostile regulatory environment in Europe and the United States" as causes.

GoPro was the already facing an uphill battle when it launched the Karma, its first drone designed for the company's cameras, in September 2016. The drone was set back by production delays and entered a market dominated by drone maker DJI. The Karma launch was followed by a full recall to fix an issue with the drone's battery that caused it to lose power in flight. 

GoPro was able to offer something different with the Karma's simple gaming-style controls, folding body and a unique design that let you remove its camera stabilizer to use handheld. Those things -- and the GoPro name -- helped put Karma into second place in its price band in 2017 behind category leader DJI. But it wasn't enough and the Karma is now part of the company's other cost-cutting measures. 

GoPro said it will sell through its remaining Karma inventory and will continue to provide service and support to Karma customers.

In addition to its earning news, GoPro CEO Nick Woodman told CNBC the company would consider a sale or partnership with another company. CNBC also reported GoPro has hired JP Morgan Chase to help it seek a potential sale.

"We've always been clear that we are open to any opportunity that will help us scale our mission. JP Morgan is our banker, but there is no active engagement to sell. It is our responsibility to scale the business, so if the right opportunity presented itself, it's something we would consider," a GoPro representative said in an email to CNET. 

Update, 6:09 p.m. PST: Adds response from GoPro.

Neil Patrick Harris Joins Doctor Who as the Doctor's 'Greatest Enemy'

Neil Patrick Harris Joins Doctor Who as the Doctor's 'Greatest Enemy'

The Doctor had better watch out. Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris is joining Doctor Who, and not as one of the good guys.

Once and future Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies posted a photo of Harris in costume to his Instagram on Monday. Harris sports a severe gray haircut, pince-nez glasses, and what looks like a shop apron over a button-up shirt and floppy tie.

"Neil Patrick Harris, welcome to Cardiff!" Davies wrote in the Instagram post's caption. "Playing the greatest enemy the Doctor has ever faced. Such a great actor, such a great man, it's an honour and a hoot. Have fun!"

Harris also posted the photo to Instagram, writing, "My current gig. Never looked more dashing. Thank you for inviting me into your Whoniverse, Russell T. Davies. I'll try my hardest to do my worst. This Doctor has no idea what's in store. And even if he does... Who cares? Ha ha ha HA ha-ha-ha!"

Of course, Doctor Who fans want to know just what that "greatest enemy" teaser means, and who exactly Harris will be portraying. But that info is all still confidential.

"It's my huge honour to open our studio doors for the mighty Neil Patrick Harris... but who, why, what is he playing?" Davies wrote in a statement. "You'll just have to wait. But I promise you, the stuff we're shooting now is off the scale. Doctor beware!"

Davies served as Doctor Who showrunner from 2005 to 2010, and will return to the show in that role in 2023. 

The role of the Doctor is getting a new acto,r too. Ncuti Gatwa will play the role of the 14th Doctor, the BBC announced in May. He'll be the first Black actor to play the role, replacing Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the role. No specific dates have been announced for either Gatwa's or Harris' first appearance.

Acer's latest Spin 5 2-in-1 courts widescreen haters

Acer's latest Spin 5 2-in-1 courts widescreen haters

This story is part of CES, where CNET covers the latest news on the most incredible tech coming soon.

There seems to be a growing contingent of laptop users out there fed up with 16:9, wide-screen displays because that's just not an aspect ratio that's great for productivity. If this is you, Acer's new Spin 5 and its 2K-resolution, 13.5-inch touchscreen with its 3:2 ratio might be the answer. 

Available in June starting at $899 (about £685 or AU$1,295), the Spin 5's taller 2,256x1,504-pixel display gives you much more vertical space for documents and spreadsheets. It also makes it a little less awkward to use handheld in tablet mode. Plus, it weighs only 2.7 pounds (1.2 kilograms) and Acer includes a Wacom AES 2.0 active stylus for drawing and writing on the screen. 

The rest of the Spin 5 is pretty much what you'd expect in a premium two-in-one this size including a 10th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, Iris Plus integrated graphics, up to 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD storage, Thunderbolt 3 ports and Wi-Fi 6. 

Acer Spin 3

Acer

If you're just fine with having a 16:9 display, though, Acer's Spin 3 will be available in April starting at $700. Its hardware and parts make it more of a mainstream pick compared to the Spin 5, but you you'll still find 10th-gen Intel Core i5 processors, Iris Plus graphics and Wi-Fi 6 -- and it's all built around a 14-inch 1,920x1,080-pixel touchscreen.

What is the strategy for wordle is there a strategy to wordle create your own wordle create my own wordle how to complete wordle wordle first two words wordle ordsky wordle org free game wordle original free

Wordle: Our Simple 2-Step Strategy

Wordle: Our Simple 2-Step Strategy

Wordle  has been keeping me up at night. Literally. I almost always stay awake past midnight to solve a new puzzle.

The game has gotten all the more satisfying for me since I developed a new, two-step strategy that really seems to work every time. My win streak is at 32 now, and maybe that's nothing to you, but it's a personal best for me. I thought I'd talk you through my strategy so you can start a winning streak of your own (or keep yours going for days to come).

If you're reading this, Wordle needs no explanation to you. The puzzle was invented by Josh Wardle (Wardle -- Wordle, get it?) and bought for big bucks by The New York Times back in January. The online game gives you six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word, and if you get correct letters, they show up in different colors, depending on if they're in the right spot in the word or not. It's addictive and fun.

I stuck to the same starter words for a long time, and they'd usually work for me. I was a longtime user of "ADIEU" to get in a ton of vowels, and I would often move on to "STORY," to get the two other vowels (sometimes Y!) and some other major consonants going. And that strategy is still a solid one. I may go back to it if I feel I'm in a rut.

Hop on the 'TRAIN'

But these days, I'm starting every Wordle round with "TRAIN," and then moving on to "CLOSE."

TRAIN is pretty self-explanatory if you've studied which letters are most commonly used in English words. All five of the letters in TRAIN are among the top seven letters used.

All I know is that nearly every time I use TRAIN as a starter word, I get a couple correct letters, often in the right spot. And it's an easy to remember starter word for sure.

CLOSE as a second choice is interesting. It gets two more vowels out of the way, and C, L and S also turn up in the top 10 most-used letter list. Sometimes, though, I get zero correct letters out of CLOSE. But believe it or not, that helps me, too. Then I'm able to look at the keyboard showing me which letters I haven't yet guessed, and choose a word that uses any correct letters plus any major consonants I haven't yet guessed.

Correct letter, wrong spot

If you've got a correct letter, but don't know which spot it should go in, you can have some fun with your third guess. If you know that you have an F but not where it goes, guess a word with a lot of Fs, like "FLUFF." That way, you can at least determine if there's an F in three of the five spots. Remember, too, that there may be more than one of the same letter used.

X marks the spot

Here's one more oddball tip. If I have just a couple of letters in the right spot, I personally need to see how the word looks. So I type in the correct letters I have, plus Xs for each letter I have no clue about. If I know the word ends in "ON" from my guesses, I type in XXXON. Then I study the unguessed letters in the keyboard and mentally picture them where the Xs are. (I don't enter these words as guesses, I just look at them for ideas, then backspace over them and delete.)

If I know there's another letter, say an B, somewhere in the mix, I might try typing it in all the empty spots -- BXXON, XBXON, XXBON -- and see if I can picture what words work. Remember, the Xs don't stand for X, they stand for "I don't know this letter."

If the Xs make it too confusing, you can also just write down the options using blanks. That might give you a better view of possibilities. I choose an X because I like to type it right into the Wordle grid, and X seems the most like a blank to me. Since these attempts aren't really words, there's no danger of me accidentally hitting enter and wasting a guess by mistake.

There you go. That's my new Wordle process. It may not be the perfect strategy. But I almost always find myself in a good place after two rounds of guessing. 

For more Wordle tips and tricks, here's a roundup of excellent strategies. Plus, New York Times Games has released a new way to play Wordle. If you're done with Wordle for the day, try these other addicting puzzle games.

NASA Mars Rover Inspects Wonderfully Funky Rover-Size Boulder

NASA Mars Rover Inspects Wonderfully Funky Rover-Size Boulder

This story is part of Welcome to Mars, our series exploring the red planet.

I feel very connected to NASA's Curiosity rover right now. I, too, have detoured from my hiking path to get a closer look at a fascinating rock. The wheeled explorer was planning to check out some cliffs when it noticed a large boulder that had fallen down, giving the team a preview of where it was heading. 

The boulder in question is quite a looker and it's about the size of the rover itself, which is comparable to a small SUV. Space writer Jason Major made a composite out of three different rover images from July 15 to give a better view of the rock.

Twitter users suggested it looked like everything from a fossilized acorn to poop to a tortoise wearing a sombrero. The rover's team nicknamed the rock "Ilha Novo Destino," after an island in Brazil. It was intriguing enough to warrant a closer look by Curiosity. 

USGS planetary geologist Lauren Edgar wrote in a mission update last week that boulders like this "can help inform our understanding of the upcoming stratigraphy, so we thought it was worth a trip to this 'new island destination' for the weekend."

Planetary geologist Aster Cowart highlighted a couple of views of Curiosity's outstretched robotic arm getting up close to the boulder along with what it saw using its Mars Hand Lens Imager camera.

Taken together, the series of images from Mars show how Curiosity's team is able to adjust plans on the fly to inspect interesting details along the way. 

The rover has been in the Gale Crater since 2012. One of its goals is to learn whether this area of Mars might have been habitable for microbial life in the deep past.

The rover is exploring the lower regions of Mount Sharp, the massive central peak inside the crater. It's seen some eye-opening rock formations, from tiny "spikes" to a natural niche that a lot of people think looks like a doorway. The goofy big boulder is both fun to look at and scientifically fascinating, a beautiful combination.
