Why am I so tired all the time? This is a question I’ve been asking since April 2017 when I developed a mysterious post-viral condition that rendered me bedridden with hypersomnolence for the entire summer. Excessive daytime sleepiness, or EDS, affects millions of Americans every year. The causes of this affliction can range from sleep apnea to narcolepsy to circadian rhythm disorders. EDS affects all patients differently but the effects can be severe and debilitating.
My own symptoms have been consistent, but vary in severity depending on the day. I am sleepy most of the time, despite getting at least seven hours of sleep each night. Each morning I experience varying degrees of sleep inertia, also known as “sleep drunkenness” due to the way it affects motor skills and cognition. I haven’t had a refreshing nap or a good night’s sleep since I was 24. On good days
Whiteboard markers have long been a staple in classrooms and boardrooms alike for their versatility and ease of use. But what if you need to write on a surface that isn't a traditional whiteboard? What about glass? Will whiteboard markers work on glass?
Fortunately, the answer is yes – whiteboard markers do work on glass! Whiteboard markers are designed to write on non-porous surfaces, which means they work on a variety of materials such as glass, plastic, and metal. Glass is a particularly good surface to use with whiteboard markers because it is easy to clean and provides a smooth writing surface.
There are a few things to keep in mind before you start scribbling away.
First, it's important to note that not all glass surfaces are created equal. Some glass may

Desks and chairs are essential items in every classroom. They provide students with a dedicated space to work, which can help improve focus and productivity.

When it comes to furnishing our homes, schools, or offices, we all want to make sure that we choose pieces that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. One trend that has become increasingly popular in recent years is the use of wood-look furniture.

Are you a busy daycare teacher with barely any time during the day? I was in your shoes once, and a custom diaper tracking chart would have saved me a lot of time.
Diapering and potty training can take up to half of your day combined, especially when you care for infants and toddlers. Preschool teachers have to make sure all of the children in their class use the bathroom before outdoor play and nap time. At many centers, you are expected to create your own diaper tracking chart.
But what if it was standardized throughout the whole center, for each age group, saving you time during your already busy day?
In general, you should change a baby’s diaper every two to three hours, or as often as needed. Toddlers can wait longer as they pee less often. Some diaper brands have a color-changing wet indicator, but it is still important to manually check for poops.

New Year's resolutions are a great way to set goals and start the year with a positive mindset. But it can be difficult to stick to these resolutions without a proper plan in place. One simple and effective tool for tracking your progress is a whiteboard.
Whiteboards provide a visual representation of your goals, making it easy to see how far you've come and what you still need to work on. They also offer an interactive and flexible way to keep track of your progress.
Here are some tips for using a whiteboard to track your New Year's resolutions:
Write your New Year's resolutions in a clear and concise manner on your whiteboard. Seeing your goals in writing will help you remember them and hold yourself accountable. The advantage of a whiteboard is that you have an area to write your goals in large text, and if your board is in a room you traffic often, the board

When you think of a whiteboard for kids, you probably picture a small, wooden board coated in a white writing surface.

When considering a wood-style finish for a dry erase board, enclosed conference cabinet, or other piece of interior furniture, choosing between hardwood veneer or laminate finish can be confusing. Read more to learn about the differences and similarities between the two finishes.
Ever heard of veneers for teeth? Hardwood veneer finish works in a similar way, but for wood. Wood veneer finish is created by pressing and gluing thin slices of wood onto a plywood base. Each hardwood veneer surface looks different since the material is sourced from slices of real wood. Depending on the choice of veneer, wood grain patterns can vary quite dramatically. Common woods used for hardwood veneer include oak, walnut, cherry, and more.
