I sleep 6 hours a night, is that enough? Here’s what a doctor had to say
I recently started tracking my sleep with an Apple Watch, and it’s told me something I already knew: I sleep for around six hours a night. While expert guidelines recommend that adults should sleep seven or more hours a night for optimal health, my sleep tracker consistently awards me high sleep scores. So, does this mean six hours of sleep…

7 things you should never keep under your bed, according to pest removers
We’re all guilty of utilizing our under-the-bed storage for old, unused or forgotten items, but this (in theory) harmless habit could cost you precious hours of sleep. “Under the bed is a prime site for dust to accumulate.

I thought smaller was better until I tried a massive 14-inch tablet that feels like a clipboard
From the Nexus 7 to the iPad mini, I’ve always preferred smaller tablets you can hold in one hand and easily slip into a bag, which is why I was so surprised when I found myself reaching for an absolutely massive 14.3-inch slate instead.

I tested Apple Watch SE 3 vs Amazfit Active 3 Premium for 2 months: Here’s which one I’d buy
I tested the Amazfit Active 3 Premium earlier this year and loved it. It’s definitely one of the best affordable fitness trackers you can buy.

The H2O Audio TRI Run aren’t your usual workout headphones. They’re actually bone conduction headphones, so they use vibrations and airflow rather than slotting inside your ear canal. But are they some of the best bone conduction headphones on the market? Hmm, it depends. Do you want premium sound? Then no. Do you want headphones to stay securely in your…

Dyson Spot and Scrub Ai review: a great mop, a worse vacuum
I’m deeply conflicted about the Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum and mop. It’s the company’s best robotic floor cleaner to date, with excellent mopping performance, good navigation and obstacle detection, and a multifunction dock that takes much of the busywork off your hands. But Dyson’s first attempt at a vacuum-and-mop combo is a worse vacuum than its predecessors,…

But new research published in this month’s BMJ Open Heart journal suggests you should take more care when scheduling in your workouts, especially if you’re exercising to sleep better.

I tested the Dyson Airwrap i.d. Curly + Coily on my hair — the hype is completely justified
There are hair tools, and then there are hair tools that make you wonder what you’ve been doing for the past decade. The Dyson Airwrap i.d. Curly + Coily is firmly in the second category. I’ll admit I came to this late. This is my first Dyson product and I’ll also admit that the price tag gave me pause. But…
