How Long Should We Sleep?
There’s been an ongoing debate about how many hours is the right amount that we should all sleep. Well, there isn’t a simple answer to this question since the hours we sleep depend on several factors like our age, health and whether or not we’re suffering from any sleep-related problems. Therefore, taking everything into consideration, the myth that everyone should sleep 8 hours per night, as we can see, is just that—a myth! However, there are some general recommendations which you can find in the infographic about sleep stats and facts.

Biking to School Changed Everything
I had graduated from university just last year. I decided to pursue a different career path, so I am now at a different post-secondary known as Bow Valley College in Calgary. It has been six months since I last rode the bus, and it was my first day of school. As soon as I got on, I remembered why I hated transit. The whole bus smells of old socks and coffee breath from the morning crowd of the bus. I sit near the window and, of course, the next person that gets on sits next to me, and I can smell their overpowering axe spray. I forgot how rough the stops are on the bus; it lurches you forward, nearly throwing you to the next bus seat. I have not been on the bus for more than five minutes and I already feel queasy. It was finally my stop, and I thank the bus driver as I get off and head for the school.

What Planned Parenthood Is Really About
Planned parenthood is in constant criticism because of a small part in what they do for women. That small part does, however, offer a choice that can change a woman’s life forever, a choice that is very personal and emotional. Planned Parenthood is more than women going there for abortions; it’s about offering healthcare to women who have no other option, or women who want to remain confidential. It’s about being able to have someone who offers all options completely unbiased; giving you all the information, so you, not your doctor, can make an educated decision on what to do with your body.
