European stocks were slighly higher, with German stocks recovering after talks collapsed to form a coalition government for the Europeâs largest economy. In Frankfurt, the DAX 30 turned up 0.2% to 13,013.75, come back from a 0.5% decline. On Sunday, the pro-business Free Democratic Party ended talks about forming a coalition government with Merkelâs Christian Democratic Union and the center-left Greens. That puts Angela Merkelâs fourth term as chancellor in doubt, and raises the prospect of a minority government or a new general election.
Sleep expert Matthew Walker is not a fan of the expression âyou can sleep when youâre deadâ calling it âmortally unwise advice.â Walker who is director of the University of California, Berkeleyâs Center for Human Sleep Science has been studying sleep for more than 20 years and is the author of a new book, âWhy We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams.â He says many Americans are sleep-deprived. One in three adults report they usually get less than the recommended seven hours, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But insufficient sleep is linked to everything from Alzheimerâs disease to stroke, cancer and even suicide, and it doesnât take that much lost sleepâjust a loss of one hour in one single night.
