sleep-during-pregnancy.jpg   Sleep deprivation is something all new parents go through, but for many women, it starts before the baby is born. As your belly is growing, the baby is kicking, and your hormone levels are fluctuating, you are very likely to experience insomnia, poor sleep quality, or nighttime awakenings. Even though there is no magic solution that can fix your problems entirely, there are some things you can do to get some good night's sleep during pregnancy:

Create a Soothing Bedtime Routine

Try to come up with a bedtime ritual that you can perform every night to signal your brain and your body that it is time to sleep. First, stop using screens because modern devices produce blue light that impedes your body’s production of melatonin. So instead of scrolling through your phone, consider reading a book before bedtime. Additionally, introduce some habits that can support and improve your mental health during pregnancy. For example, you can take a soothing, warm bath, sip on a cup of warm milk or a caffeine-free tea, or listen to a guided meditation. Also, you can introduce aromatherapy to your bedroom. Using a pillow spray or a diffuser can make you feel more relaxed in minutes. Finally, stick with a consistent routine that provides you with at least eight hours of sleep every night. (more…)

The Erlenmeyer flask, named after its inventor, Emil Erlenmeyer, is a staple in laboratories around the world. Its unique design—featuring a wide base that tapers into a narrow neck—distinguishes it from other glassware. This shape makes the Erlenmeyer flask exceptionally versatile, serving a variety of purposes across different scientific disciplines. Its functionality extends beyond its basic form, adapting to a multitude of laboratory procedures that require precision, control, and safety.

The Origins of the Erlenmeyer Flask

Emil Erlenmeyer, a German chemist, introduced the Erlenmeyer flask in 1861. His invention was driven by the need for a piece of glassware that could mix and heat chemical solutions without spilling. The flask's conical shape, combined with a flat bottom, provided stability during experiments and minimized the risk of accidents. Erlenmeyer’s contribution to laboratory science was not limited to this flask; he was also known for his work in organic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of organic compounds. The Erlenmeyer flask, however, remains one of his most enduring legacies, continuing to be a vital tool in modern laboratories. (more…)

  Have you ever noticed something off about your body and wondered if it's serious? We’ve all been there. Sometimes, it’s easy to brush things off or chalk them up to “getting older,” but paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you can make all the difference.

There are some amazing services where you can ask a pharmacist 24/7 for quick advice to see if it’s something that needs medical attention, but be sure to discuss your headaches with your health care provider.
