Too good for the dumpsters
Do you like food? If there would be a full room of people and I would present them with this question asking those who do to raise their hands, what would happen? I think only few hands would stay down and only because people didn’t get the questions: “Why would someone even ask that?” Around…

Go to sleep
Your brain will not. While you are sleeping, your brain is cleaning, refueling and repairing itself. People sleep about a third of their lifetime, so when you reach the age of 75 you have slept 25 years. It sounds absurd, but at least you will not beat Sleeping Beauty’s record of 100 years of sleep.…
