SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
What’s the best time of day to work out? It all depends on your natural body clock, according to new research. A study in Open Heart found that early birds tend to benefit more from morning exercise, while night owls see better results in the evening. In a trial of 134 adults with health risk factors (like high blood pressure or being overweight), everyone improved their fitness, but those who matched workouts to their “chronotype” (or body clock) saw greater gains in blood pressure, sleep quality, and metabolic health. Experts say consistency still matters most, but aligning your exercise timing with your natural energy patterns just might provide your fitness with an extra boost. Your internal body clock affects sleep-wake patterns and hormone and energy levels throughout the day, which could influence exercise performance and adherence.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Eddie Murphy took a moment to look out at the star-studded room at the American Film Institute ceremony -- and let it all sink in. Just before accepting his Lifetime Achievement award on Saturday, Murphy was met with a standing ovation, and moved through the ballroom as the applause followed. Along the way, he passed Spike Lee, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Arsenio Hall and Judge Reinhold. The tribute, which also featured appearances from Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Eva Longoria, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Kenan Thompson, will premiere as a special on Netflix on May 31.
The trailer for “Coyote vs. Acme” has been released, offering a first look at the long-delayed live-action/animation hybrid, ahead of its theatrical debut Aug. 28. The film follows ‘Wile E. Coyote’ as he takes legal action against the Acme Corporation, whose products have repeatedly malfunctioned during his pursuit of the ‘Road Runner’. Will Forte stars as Coyote’s attorney, with John Cena playing opposing counsel. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4kenmx2p

OF THE DAY
A controversial experiment is brewing around the idea of turning beer into a potential vaccine delivery system. U.S. virologist Chris Buck has engineered brewer’s yeast to produce viral proteins that may trigger immune responses when consumed in beer. In early experiments, he drank small amounts over several days and reported antibody production without major side effects. The concept has sparked debate, with critics calling for rigorous safety testing, while supporters say it could offer an effective and unconventional approach to vaccination hesitancy.
Air New Zealand is introducing a new way for economy passengers to actually lie down on ultra-long flights. Starting in November, select Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners will feature Economy Skynest bunk beds on routes like the 17-hour journey from New York to Auckland. The setup includes 6 stacked sleeping pods with mattresses, privacy curtains, bedding, lighting, and charging ports. Passengers can book a 4-hour rest session for $495. And yes, that’s in addition to the price they’ve already paid for their airline ticket. Between each session, the cabin crew will change the pillows, sheets and blanket. The airline says the idea is based on sleep cycles, and the aim is to make long-haul travel more comfortable by giving travelers a chance to properly stretch out and rest in economy.

WEIRD NEWS
Are you one of those people with an overflowing email inbox? You’re far from alone. That’s why some people are taking email cleanup to the next level – and turning it into a social activity. “Digital decluttering parties” are get-togethers where friends, coworkers, and even strangers gather – virtually or in person – to tackle unread messages together, in pursuit of “inbox zero.” The idea is simple: shared accountability helps people finally delete, archive, and unsubscribe from years of digital clutter that’s so easy to ignore when you’re alone. People at digital decluttering parties treat it like a reset ritual, swapping stress for structure as they sort through newsletters, spam, and long-forgotten threads. Apparently, the sessions reduce the overwhelmed feeling you get from your full inbox, and improve focus, while others point out that the real challenge isn’t clearing your inbox — but keeping it that way once the party ends.
