![]() It’s actually having a conversation as to what is going on,” Dr. “There’s so much more to sleep medicine than just sleep tests. If you’re afraid of seeing a sleep specialist for fear of having to go through a sleep test, don’t panic. These specific types of providers can help determine what is interfering with you getting restful sleep, and how to correct it. If they find there’s an underlying sleep problem, you may need to see a sleep specialist. Talking to your primary care provider is the first step. If you’re not getting good sleep, mouth tape isn’t the answer. Getting good sleep is essential to our health and overall well-being. “If you’re having issues with your sleep, waking up multiple times throughout the night, having issues with falling asleep or staying asleep or with snoring – those are the questions that need to be looked at to figure out what is really going on,” Dr. ![]() ![]() Some things that may be making you breathe through your mouth include: It’s more important to figure out why you’re sleeping with your mouth open and get to the bottom of that issue than it is to force yourself into nasal breathing with tape. Verma, mouth breathing is a symptom of a bigger issue. Finding the reason for mouth breathingĪccording to Dr. Your doctor can help you find safe and effective solutions for how to sleep with your mouth closed without tape. If mouth breathing is a chronic problem you’re experiencing, talk to your doctor instead of turning to this unsafe practice. But mouth tape isn’t a solution for reducing snores. For those people who have trouble sleeping because of snoring, there may be something more going on. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, about 45% of adults snore occasionally. People often use mouth tape for snoring, as well. You don’t need to resort to taping your mouth closed. It’s not uncommon to breathe through your mouth when you’re sick or stuffed up. “This is nothing a physician would ever recommend to a patient.” Why people use mouth tape “You’re supposed to breathe in and out through your nose, but mouth taping is not safe at all,” said Kaninika Verma, MD, clinical sleep director at OSF HealthCare. It can cause obstructed breathing and create other more serious sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea and sleep disruption. Mouth taping not only doesn’t help you to breathe through your nose, it’s also highly dangerous. And while over-the-counter mouth tape for sleep product is sold, it begs the question – is it a safe and effective practice? Is mouth tape dangerous? People tape their mouths shut while sleeping in order to force themselves to breathe through their noses. Some people who have trouble breathing through their noses while sleeping turn to a practice called mouth taping. It can cause a dry or scratchy throat, bad breath and snoring. For some people, they breathe through their mouth, which might lead to trouble sleeping. You feel rested, alert and ready to tackle the day.īut good sleep quality isn’t always easy to achieve. It’s easy to tell when you get good sleep. Is it safe to use mouth tape for sleeping?

Destiny 2 steam disk write error3/2/2024 USB-C is so much faster, and it shows here. Let me start off with this: thank goodness for a drive using a USB-C connection rather than specialty cables or micro-USBs. Kudos to SK hynix for throwing both in the box. I have two sets for you, one using the USB-A cable, and the other with the USB-C. Running the numbers on the Beetle has been fun because I’m a numbers guy, and these are fantastic. It’s also cased in lightweight aluminum, allowing you to keep your mind at ease if it’s rattling around in your bag. Sure, a regular SSD or HDD aren’t that much bigger, but any gained space is appreciated when you have to travel the country with only a backpack. This makes it easy to carry, which is a boon for a creator like myself, especially with the limits in place when carrying luggage. At only 74x44mm in size and 53g in weight, the Beetle X31 will fit right in the palm of your hand, and even in my smaller ones it is compact. ![]() The golden sheen makes up for that, making it a looker as much as improves its visibility. Impressively, the 1tb Beetle X31 is very small, and can almost be lost quite easily. The only thing that was a bit off was my silicon protector the slot where you plug in the USB-C to the SSD was offset, forcing me to push it around in order to connect my cable. It’s all simple enough, and that’s all it needs to be. One is connected to your device via USB-A, and the other is USB-C. The aforementioned X31 Beetle SSD, a silicon protector, and two short USB-C cables to connect it. When you pick one up, a few items come in the box. After some time using it, I can confidently say I’ll remember the name SK hynix, along with the Beetle X31. Then, the Beetle X31 caught my attention, a little SSD that any creator would love to have. ![]() Even more, I didn’t know they made SSDs, of which I use plenty. I have never heard of SK hynix before, but it seems about right for the name of a chip manufacturer in South Korea.

Hormel bacon bits3/2/2024 ![]() Because fat has a short shelf life, you should store it in your refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible, as this food will go rancid quickly. If you opened the bacon but did not cook it, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to six months.īecause bacon contains fat, even cooking or dehydrating it will not remove all of it. Hormel® Bacon Bits should be refrigerated and used within six weeks.ĭepending on the type of bacon, the average shelf life of unopened bacon is 2 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and 8 months in the freezer. If you bought pre-cooked bacon in the store, date it to the correct date. When cooked bacon comes out, it’s delicious, but it can also cause health problems. As a result of the curing process, salt and nitrite are used to prevent bacteria growth on the bacon while increasing the shelf life. If the bacon you’re throwing away looks, smells, tastes, or feels odd, it’s time to throw it away. If you haven’t noticed it in a few weeks, it could be time to get tested. The immediate effects of eating bad bacon are food poisoning. If you eat bacon after it has gone bad, you may become ill. If the odor of your food or meat reminds you of rotten food or rancid tissue, it’s time to look for it. A pack of bacon cured with salt and nitrite will not spoil in its best condition for 1-2 weeks at less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 4 months frozen. A four-hour period of raw bacon consumption is not recommended. Make sure your eyes, nose, and touch are clean before cooking the bacon. A microwave oven is the most effective way to defrost frozen bacon. However, after defrosting, you should not leave it out in the warm kitchen. When the package is opened, shelf-stable bacon lasts five to fourteen days.Ĭooking bacon in the freezer ensures that it is safe to consume. If you cook bacon within two hours of cooking it, it’s best to keep it refrigerated. It is critical to refrigerate bacon as soon as possible so that it has the best chance of survival. Cooking your bacon after it has been thoroughly cooked is preferred. While the quality and taste of the food will be compromised, it will last for a long time once cooked and left out at room temperature. Despite this, bacon is different from other types of food due to its curing process. If you are going to eat bacon bits that have been sitting out, it is best to reheat them first.Īfter cooking your bacon, it is advised not to leave it outside for more than a few minutes. However, it is generally not recommended to eat bacon bits that have been sitting out for more than four hours, as they can become dry and hard. How long can bacon bits sit out? Bacon bits are usually precooked, so they can technically be safe to eat after sitting out for a few hours. Bacon bits are usually precooked and can be bought in a package at the grocery store. They are often used as a topping on salads or as a garnish on other dishes. Bacon bits are small pieces of bacon that have been cut or diced into small pieces.

Crimson queen japanese maple trees3/1/2024 That way, I’m sure the water penetrates their roots. If the water reveals a hole, tamp the soil down until the hole disappears. You don’t want to stake it too long because strong roots won’t develop. This tree is in a windy area, so I will stake it for about six months. Again, I used shredded leaves, but you can use any type of organic mulch. This hole should actually be a little wider I think.īackfill your hole and tamp the soil around the tree with you foot. Don’t worry if some of the soil falls off into the hole. They’ve been in a pot, and they are root bound. Backfilling the hole with composted leaves.īefore you place the tree in the hole, water it so that it doesn’t have to struggle so hard. You don’t want to create a clay bowl that retains water. If you have clay soil, really dig the hole big and deep and work lots of organic matter into the hole. There is some thought that we shouldn’t amend the soil because it kind of fools the tree into thinking it doesn’t have to work its roots into the regular soil. I also put a little in the bottom of the hole. You could use your own homemade compost, or a commercial compost like Back to Nature. Then, you need to amend the backfill soil with compost. I also dug the hole twice as big around as the container. Mine was grown in a container, so I dug it one and a half times the container. The hole should be two times deeper than the root ball of the tree. ![]() Readers sometimes wonder if my natural soil is red, and the photo below should resolve any doubts. South side, think hot, hot, hot.Īfter finding the perfect location, dig a hole. Because the north side of the house has weaker sunlight, we can grow some things we normally grow in shade. Remember, the east side of your house receives early morning sunlight. Although it isn’t leafed out in the spring, it will be by summer. My ‘Crimson Queen’ Japanese maple is planted in dappled shade on the West side of my home (which is in my front garden,) but it is in deep shade by the time summer arrives.Ībout sunlight this time of year, it is difficult to know how much shade you will have because the trees haven’t leafed out. ![]() If you have a garden on the north, that would be ideal, as the tree will be protected from the hot, afternoon sun which causes leaf burn. First choose a shady spot or a location on the north side of your house. I’m going to show you how to plant it and where. When I saw it was only $79.00, I was ecstatic. It is a ‘Tamukeyama’ ( Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Tamukeyama’.) I was looking for some small annuals at one of the box stores, and I became very excited when I found it and its brothers hidden behind some patio furniture. My new one is another dissected leaf form. However, if you situate them in the right spot, give them enough water, and protect them from our drying winds, you can successfully grow one of these trees. Oklahoma is in the middle of the vast American prairie. When you consider where Japanese maples originate from, you wouldn’t think they would thrive here. ![]() Some years we have drought and heat in April, but not this one.

Although this is a great example of a mature ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese maple, which is one of the more common types of red Japanese maples available at the various garden centers, I would limb up some of the undergrowth to emphasize the beautiful crown. I took this photo in a neighborhood in Edmond, Oklahoma. Want some red in your yard? How about a Japanese maple like this? You can have one. |
