Having had a mouse infestation at my cottage that took over a year to resolve, this would have been a great way to keep the critters out of and off the bedding during that time. I suspect for keeping guests and migrant…
For me it's really an intestinal gas issue that's forcing my stomach to compress, such that when I lay down, the acid makes way to my esophagus.
I have a wealth of experiential data on this, validated as recently as this previous July over a two week period. Like clockwork, if I take my Vit D supplement in the evening (like before bed), I will have almost zero…
I take Ibuprofen, and only when I can tell there is a problem (like when I've been up several times on preceding nights). It also seems correlated with junk food and alcohol. I generally have a very clean diet, and if I…
Parent is correct. It might or might not be prostate, or my intestines putting pressure on my bladder.
Indeed, when I have intestinal gas, it pushes my stomach 'up' and exposes my esophagus to the acid.
I just use Ibuprofen when I know there's an issue. It's not ideal, but it works.
Benadryl does nothing to me except kill my deep and REM sleep and leave me "sleeping" but conscious. I'm exhausted the next day. I only take cetrizine.
My experience has been the complete opposite. When I was in Uni I was required to take an assembly language course and was told it was foundational but I'd never use it in industry. Straight out of Uni in 2001, I became…

Letting a tree grow to complete maturity is a gamble. Many of the US's classic native tree species are under incredible stress (or nearly wiped out) due to the rapid spread of parasites and disease, e.g., oak wilt,…
