Are You Ready for Grocery Prices to Change 100 Times A Day? Money Talks News says grocery store prices may soon change 100 times a day because supermarkets are replacing paper price tags with digital displays. The digital displays are already in stores in Europe. Some say the daily price changes will make it hard for them to set a food budget because of the ever-changing prices. Supermarkets say digital displays drop prices on perishable food items that are nearing their sell-by dates. This creates instant savings for shoppers.

Doctors Recommending “Nappuccinos”: NBC says sleep doctors are now recommending coffee before a power nap. A “nappuccino” involves consuming coffee before a 20-30 minute nap. The “nappuccino” enhances alertness, concentration and energy levels.The caffeine clears adenosine build-up in the brain, providing a double boost of refreshment. The recommended nap time is during the midday slump between 1 and 3 p.m.  Doctors say the order and timing of a nappuccino are key. The nap should be no longer than 30 minutes because the caffeine kicks in right at that time. If you sleep for any longer, you’ll feel groggy when you wake up.

Mondays Are Bad For Your Health: The NY Post says Mondays are bad for your health. New research from the University of Hong Kong reveals that anxiety on Mondays leads to higher cortisol levels. This can harm your overall health. Experts advise conducting a weekly stress inventory to identify and manage sources of anxiety.  Professor  Modupe Akinola says, ‘’Monday anxiety was the only day linked to a lasting cortisol spike likely because the day carries a sense of “uncertainty, danger or dread. There is something effortful about Mondays — you have to get up, get dressed, get focused, deal with traffic, when over the weekend you typically don’t deal with these things. All of those extra demands that come on Monday make it feel like you may not have the resources to cope … and your body’s stress system is telling you to get ready to battle.”

Owning A Dog May Not Make You Happy: The Daily Mail says owning a dog may not make you happier. A recent study by Budapest’s Eötvös Loránd University reveals that dog ownership can lead to increased anxiety instead of joy.  Researchers found that the initial boost in cheerfulness from getting a new pet, especially a dog, only lasts up to four months. The demands of pet care, vet bills and disobedience may outweigh the initial benefits for many dog owners. The study suggests that the widely held belief that pet ownership leads to lasting improvements in well-being may not always be true.

Cheat Sheet says the U.S. government may not return Sean ‘’Diddy’’ Combs baby oil to him even if he is found not guilty of trafficking. Trial attorney Brian Stewart says, “Items seized in a federal raid — whether it’s firearms, electronics, or personal items like lube and baby oil — are held in secure government evidence facilities. If Diddy is found not guilty, his lawyers can file a motion to get those items back, but it’s not guaranteed. Anything tied to alleged crimes or considered contraband can be kept or destroyed by the government, even if it’s legal to own.”
