SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Want better sleep? Try working for it. Research suggests people who start a regular exercise routine are 37% more likely to feel rested, while those who stick with the habit have a 23% higher likelihood of sleeping better. Everyday movement, like walking through the grocery store or taking out the garbage, still counts — but consistent, structured workouts appear to provide greater benefits. The findings suggest regular exercise may help the body manage stress and regulate sleep. So, if you’re having problems sleeping, you might want to trade counting sheep for counting reps.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Kylie Jenner is getting into the thriller business. Ever following in her sister Kim Kardashian’s footsteps, the youngest member of the reality TV dynasty will star in a bloody new mystery coming to Hulu. “Bachelorette Weekend” will see Jenner play a bride-to-be who is murdered during her pre-wedding girls trip, casting suspicion on all her maids of honor. Though literally short-lived, Jenner’s role is described as the series’ “North Star,” according to Deadline Hollywood.
Steven Spielberg is returning to Paramount’s cult “Transformers” franchise alongside longtime producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and with Michael Bay. Spielberg will focus on all creative aspects of the next live-action film based on a Hasbro line of toys. He will also executive-produce the 8th live-action installment as Paramount looks to build out the Transformers universe. Bay directed the first 5 films in the franchise. Shia LaBeouf will not return for the 8th installment, and there’s no word on a storyline or casting.
DID YA KNOW!?
Did You Know... Oranges are named after the fruit—not the other way around. The English word for the color "orange" became common only after the fruit was introduced to Europe.

OF THE DAY
Forget charging your smartwatch…What if your shoes could power themselves? Researchers have developed prototype sneakers that use the energy from your footsteps to run an AI system. The battery-free shoes can tell whether you’re walking, running or climbing stairs, count your steps and estimate calories burned. The system uses an average of just 86 microwatts of power, generated as you move. In tests, the prototype model correctly identified activities 95.4% of the time. And the shoes are able to generate enough power to run their electronics after just a few seconds of tapping. The researchers say future versions could monitor things like gait and fall risk.
Bad mood? Foggy brain? Before you reach for another coffee, try jogging away your problems – and you only need 10 minutes. A new study found that people who jogged on a treadmill at about 2-4mph (3-6km/h) performed better on tests of attention and self-control, and reported feeling more alert and happier than those who simply rested. Easy movement may boost brain chemicals that help increase alertness and focus. Not a jogger? Walking works too. And bonus points for getting outside.

WEIRD NEWS
Talk about “outdoor furniture”. North Carolina police recently pulled over 2 men who were traveling down a Charlotte street…while sitting on an actual couch, which was balanced across 2 electric scooters. Police called it “certainly a first” and admitted they appreciated the creativity, but reminded everyone that roads are for vehicles, not living-room furniture. They also pointed out that seeing a couch cruising down the road could distract other drivers and create a safety hazard. No word on whether the passengers remembered to buckle up…or if they had cup holders.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
In a survey, 15% of men said they would never date a woman who does THIS. What is it?

AGE GIVER-AWAY-ERS:
A TikToker recently asked users to share the words and phrases that instantly reveal someone’s age bracket. The responses made me realize that no matter how youthful you think you appear, eventually, your mouth is going to give you away. Here are some of the most enlightening responses…

➢ “Pound sign” instead of “hashtag.”
➢”Clicker” instead of “remote.”
➢ “Half past” or “quarter till” when telling time.
