Ist es nicht faszinierend, wie das Leben uns immer wieder mit den neuesten Angeboten überrascht? Ich meine, wer hätte gedacht, dass wir im August 2025 über Tempur-Pedic-Matratzen mit 30% Rabatt diskutieren würden? Das ist wie die jährliche Sommer-Schlussverkaufs-Mode, nur dass es diesmal um den ultimativen Komfort für unsere schlafenden Körper geht. Wer braucht schon einen neuen Fernseher, wenn man sich eine Matratze zulegen kann, die einen nach dem Schlafen wie ein frisch gebrühter Kaffee aufladen soll? Das klingt fast zu gut, um wahr zu sein, oder? Eine Promotion, die dir bis zu 700 Dollar spart? Ich kann es kaum erwarten, mein ganzes Geld in diese „magischen“ Matratzen zu investieren. Schließlich, was sind schon 700 Dollar für einen Schlaf, der sich anfühlt, als würde man auf einer Wolke liegen? Ich frage mich, ob diese Matratzen auch die Träume verbessern. Vielleicht gibt es eine spezielle Version für Leute, die immer wieder von ihren Prüfungen träumen – „Tempur-Pedic: für die schlafenden Studierenden, die sich nicht einmal im Traum entspannen können.“ Und dann gibt es die Frage aller Fragen: Wo sind all die Menschen geblieben, die früher mit einer alten Matratze geschlafen haben und stolz darauf waren? Wenn ich jetzt mit einem alten Bett vorbeikomme, fühle ich mich fast wie ein Dinosaurier in der Welt der modernen Schlaftechnologie. Aber hey, meine Großeltern haben auch noch auf alten Matratzen geschlafen und lebten bis über 90. Vielleicht gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen der Matratzenqualität und der Lebensdauer. „Schlaf dich gesund“ klingt doch nach einem tollen Slogan für diese Tempur-Pedic-Anbieter, oder? Aber wozu sich den ganzen Stress antun, wenn der Rabatt so verlockend ist? Ich kann schon die Werbung hören: „Kaufe jetzt und schlafe niemals wieder schlecht!“ Ja, denn es gibt nichts Schlimmeres, als sich in der Nacht zu wälzen, während man sich fragt, ob man wirklich 1000 Euro für ein Bett ausgegeben hat, das sich anfühlt, als würde man auf einem Haufen Geld schlafen. Aber hey, mit den Tempur-Pedic-Coupons wird es zu einem unschlagbaren Angebot, das man einfach nicht ignorieren kann. Man könnte fast meinen, dass die Matratzen einen eigenen Instagram-Account haben sollten – #SleepingGoals. Und während ich darüber nachdenke, ob ich wirklich 30% Rabatt auf eine Matratze brauche oder ob ich einfach nur meinem inneren Sparfuchs nachgeben sollte, bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig, als den Katalog durchzublättern. Vielleicht finde ich ja die perfekte Matratze, die mich nicht nur im Schlaf, sondern auch bei den kommenden Rabattaktionen glücklich macht. Ich weiß nicht, wie es euch geht, aber ich bin bereit für die große Matratzenrevolution. Wer braucht schon einen schlaflosen Sommer, wenn man mit einem Klick auf „30% Rabatt“ in die Welt des ultimativen Schlafkomforts eintauchen kann? #MatratzenRabatt #SchlafRevolution #TempurPedic2025 #KomfortFürAlle #SchlafGut

I am 17 and I have not showered in at least a month. Is this bad? I am going to respond in a way that is not going to be cruel to you, as many answers you have received are. They are telling you that either you have a mental disorder or that what you are doing is offensive to others. These could be true, but let me fill in a bit more so that you can work this out. First, I understand. Many people are not keeping up with grooming like they would have before COVID. Women go without makeup for days. You may be tempted not to brush your hair for a few days or change your clothing. When we don’t have a social force telling us to wash up, people tend to get a bit lazy. This could be something as simple as, well, no one is going to see me anyway, so what’s the difference? After all, we are supposed to maintain a six-foot radius from other people, out of range of their noses. Plus, most are wearing masks, so they are simply smelling their own breath. If there was ever a time you could get away with not showering, now is certainly the time. You could be talking yourself out of it. I knew a couple of guys who would convince themselves that they didn’t have time for self-care. Also, it’s winter, so I am not certain if this is a factor for you. My entire family has been very tired, and even the dogs are sleeping more because of the poor weather. It can become easy to get unmotivated during the winter time, when all you want to do is binge-watch Netflix, eat stew, and roam around in your favorite PJs and slippers. As a counselor, one woman I treated was always unwashed. She had a lot of problems with paranoia and such, but she also did not seem to wash up. I learned why, eventually: she had no running water or heat in her house. I have also seen people neglect their self-care when they are smoking a lot of pot, for example. One thing that you need to keep in mind is that self-care is neglected when people are suffering from issues such as drug addiction, depression, and other health challenges. As a matter of fact, when therapist assess new clients, the first thing they do is take a look at the person’s appearance for unwashed hair, unbrushed teeth, odor, messy clothing, or anything else that could indicate that the person is being challenged with keeping up with their hygiene. It doesn’t have to be that reason. People just go through funks at times, and it doesn’t have to mean that you are suffering from depression. This is not something that happens suddenly. The criteria for diagnosis of these conditions is usually over a longer period of time than a few weeks. Also, if it’s the only thing that is going on, it’s not enough to determine a diagnosis of depression. My best advice is to see what is going on in your life. Wintertime blues and COVID could be responsible, but also, gauge your mood. Are you going through a difficult time right now? Did something major happen that has upset you? Do you feel fed up? Are you just feeling lazy and don’t know why? It could indicate depression, but it could also just be the fact that you are not getting enough sunlight in the winter, which could zap your energy and motivation. With some introspection, you could get to the source. Think of our behaviors as the evidence of something going on, a personal issue. When people yell, they have had verbal abuse in their childhood, for example. A behavior you are questioning (which is really great, by the way, that you are doing this) could indicate a deeper, unresolved problem or a physical problem. Just keep questioning, and you can eventually find the answer. And, of course, you can always seek counseling if you need help. Have your parents arrange an appointment for you if you need to speak with someone. EDIT: Hi Everyone. Thanks for participating in this discussion. I want to clarify a couple of things. One, I did not imply that all people suffering from drug addiction do not wash regularly. In my experience out of the people I have known, I did notice some who smoked pot every single day, their hair looked pretty greasy and unkempt. That was back in college. Naturally, people these days might smoke pot for medical reasons, so I get it. I think people have good points about finding other ways to wash up if they cannot take showers and baths. Also, people from other countries, it’s simply not the norm there. On the flip side, it’s true that people who cannot or do not wash up as often could get more rashes and skin infections. Whatever this teenager is going through, however, I do hope that the one thing that stood out was that we can all be kinder and more understanding of each other, and the way to do that is to suspend judgment. We don’t really know what’s going on in another person’s life, and judgment leveled at another human being can be really hurtful, and if the people who are dishing out were to be on the receiving end of it, I’m sure they would not be very happy about it. I thank you for your comments and thoughts. https://www.quora.com/I-am-17-and-I-have-not-showered-in-at-least-a-month-Is-this-bad/answer/Kirsten-Schuder?ch=15&oid=264821948&share=e4bb3a18&srid=5KxEM&target_type=answer

The famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger He posted a photo of himself sleeping on the street, under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote: "How times have changed" ... The reason he wrote the phrase was not only because he was old, but because when he was governor of California he inaugurated that hotel with his statue. The hotel management told Arnold that "you can come at any time and you will always have a separate room for yourself." When Arnold resigned as governor and wanted to stay at the hotel one day, the administration refused to give him a room, arguing that he would have to pay because the hotel was almost full. He brought a “Sleeping Bag” and lay down under the statue and explained what he wanted to convey: “When I was in an important position, they always congratulated me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not keep their promise. Do not rely on your position or the amount of money you have, or your power, or your intelligence, that will not last.” Trying to teach everyone that when you are "Important" in people's eyes, everyone is your "Friend". But once you don't benefit or serve their interests, you won't matter. "You are not always who you think you will always be, nothing lasts forever." People come and go; everyone's interests change overnight. They may embrace you today and betray you tomorrow and even trample on you. THE CHALLENGE then, is to learn to choose our connections well, disconnecting from the toxic and opportunistic ones, and taking the time to place, in our circles of trust, those who love us for who we are, and not for what they can take from us out of interest or reject out of disinterest.

What is your sleeping 💤 pose? 🧐
