SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Sleeping on your side might be the best way to get a good night’s rest. Experts say the way you sleep can affect snoring, sleep apnea, back pain and even how refreshed you feel in the morning. Side sleeping is often considered the healthiest option because it helps keep airways open, supports the spine, and may improve sleep quality. Back sleeping can worsen snoring, while stomach sleeping may strain your neck and spine. Small changes, like adding supportive pillows under the knees, can make a big difference in how you feel when you wake up.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Grey’s Anatomy” is getting a new spinoff, co-created by the original series’ creator/executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Star of the show and EP Ellen Pompeo is also executive producing the new offshoot, which will premiere in 2027. This marks the 4th series in the Grey’s Anatomy franchise, following the OG, plus spinoffs “Private Practice” and “Station 19”. It is described as an edgy drama about a team at a rural West Texas medical center – the last chance for care before miles of nowhere.
Mike White was part of the epic season of Survivor 50, and appeared via video call during the finale of the CBS competition. The “Survivor” contestant, who was eliminated 4th this season, is busy filming Season 4 of “The White Lotus” in France — and he made a surprise announcement. White has cast Survivor alums from previous seasons to make cameos in the series, and following Survivor 50, it was revealed that Charlie Davis and Kamilla Karthigesu will appear in Season 4 of the HBO series.
Byron Allen is sounding off about taking on Stephen Colbert’s former time slot. The “Comics Unleashed” host, whose comedy talk show will take over the “Late Night with Stephen Colbert” slot starting tonight — appeared on “CBS Mornings” and insisted there will be “no politics” on his show. Quote: “We’ve had on a thousand comedians – every shape and size, you name it. I want to bring people together using comedy.”
Byron Allen isn’t too concerned over how his replacement series for “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” will fare with audiences. Allen doesn’t see himself as a substitute for Colbert, and has plans for an entirely different kind of show. He told NPR ahead of “Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen” taking over The Late Show’s time slot on CBS: “I’m not trying to replace Colbert. I am not trying to hold on to his audience because Comics Unleashed has been around 20 years and has its own audience.” The show had been airing on CBS at 12:35am in most markets. He has promised “no politics” on Comics Unleashed.

JOKE OF THE DAY

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Uh-oh. As sunscreen season ramps up, a new Environmental Working Group report is urging us to pick carefully. The EWG reviewed 2,800 products and found only about 20% offer both safe and effective protection against UVA and UVB rays. Mineral sunscreens are most effective, while many chemical formulas raised ongoing safety questions, due to concerns about absorption and long-term health effects. SPF marketing can be misleading, with little real-world difference between very high SPF products and SPF 50+. The report emphasizes proper application and combining sunscreen with hats, clothing, and shade for best protection.
Most people don’t miss areas when applying sunscreen because they don’t care – they miss it because they rush and assume they’ve covered everything. But a few key areas are consistently overlooked. A Reader’s Digest report says the scalp and hairline are the #1 most-commonly-missed areas. This an area where UV exposure is strong, and skin cancers can develop unnoticed. Lips are another common miss, along with the ears, eyelids, and nose, all of which are high-exposure zones. Another area of concern is the upper middle back. And I’m sure you know why. That’s a spot that many people simply can’t reach well on their own.

WEIRD NEWS
Amazon’s Alexa can now produce full AI podcasts, complete with fake hosts. The new Alexa+ feature creates AI-generated “podcasts” that answer questions and discuss topics using computer-made narrators. Amazon says the shows are built with information from major news outlets including Associated Press, Reuters and The Washington Post, to keep content accurate and up to date. In one demo, two AI hosts are heard chatting about new music trends, saying today’s music scene is more diverse and fragmented than ever before.
