SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH

Ah…there’s no feeling quite like flaking out on the couch for a power nap at the end of (or in the middle of…) a busy day. But while it may feel relaxing, sleep experts say it can quietly disrupt your sleep over time. Specialists say good sleep isn’t just about hours. Adults typically need 7-9 hours, and that includes healthy sleep cycles that include deep sleep and REM, which help the body recover and support memory and mood. Dozing on the couch can shorten or fragment those cycles. Therapist Annie Miller says couches feel relaxing because there’s no pressure to sleep, unlike the bedroom. But poor posture, noise, light and TV distractions can reduce the deep, restorative sleep that you need. Experts recommend moving to your bed if you doze off, and creating a simple bedtime routine to help retrain your brain to sleep there.

BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN

Former “Saturday Night Live” star Tina Fey is set to pass the baton across the pond as she returns to the franchise to host the very first episode of the show’s British version, “Saturday Night Live U.K.” She’ll be accompanied by the show’s inaugural musical guest, Wet Leg, for this weekend’s premiere. Each 75-minute episode will be broadcast live from London at 10pm local time, following a similar format to the US original. Episodes will be available on Peacock the next day.

Sean Penn wasn’t in attendance to receive his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for “One Battle After Another”, but the Ukrainians who hosted him overseas on Hollywood’s biggest night came through to make sure he received hardware. In a video shared by Ukrainian Railways’ CEO, Penn received an “IronOscar” statuette from the company after skipping the Oscars to continue his activism in Ukraine. Penn’s assistance in Ukraine has been well documented since Russia invaded in 2022, with the “Mystic River” actor even co-directing a documentary about his work in the region.

“The Bachelorette” just got a little less sweet. Cinnabon has cut ties with the hit ABC series, as well as Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” amid abuse allegations against Taylor Frankie Paul. The baked goods company told TMZ: “Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values.” Mormon Wives star Layla Taylor revealed on Tuesday that she’s in treatment for her “exhausting” eating disorder, following reports that she allegedly choked and scratched one of her baby daddies.

JOKE OF THE DAY

SCOOP OF THE DAY

Kraft Heinz is continuing to reinvent its iconic boxed mac and cheese, following recent buzzworthy releases like Hot Honey, Garlic Parmesan, and even an apple pie-inspired holiday flavor. The latest twist, Kraft Mac & Cheese PowerMac, focuses on nutrition without ditching comfort. The new version packs 17 grams of protein – more than double the original – and 6 grams of fiber, all while keeping the familiar creamy taste. Available in Original and White Cheddar, it uses new noodles and skips artificial flavors, dyes, and preservatives. Early tasters say it’s nearly identical to the classic, just slightly firmer – making it a potentially smarter pantry staple. It’ll hit store shelves in April.

New research suggests women sticking to a diet need to keep a positive outlook. When dieters feel stressed or sad, they’re far more likely to reach for unhealthy snacks like chocolate, chips, or pastries. But women who are not dieting tend to eat more when happy or excited. Mindfulness, slowing down before meals, and checking in with feelings can help dieters make healthier choices and resist emotional snacking.

WEIRD NEWS

Yes, the taste of a fresh, ripe tomato can be awesome…but how about one that smells like butter-flavored popcorn? Scientists in China and Australia say that through gene editing, they’ve managed to boost the aroma of tomatoes, which apparently, along with the plant’s flavor, has dulled over time due to decades of breeding for mass production. The researchers targeted 2 genes in the tomato plant that give popcorn and fragrant rice their distinctive smell. Using “CRISPR” technology, the team dramatically increased the plant’s scent levels, in some cases more than fourfold. Importantly, the changes didn’t affect plant height, fruit size, sugars, or vitamin C. If you’re not a fan of popcorn, you might not be interested in finding popcorn-scented tomatoes on supermarket shelves, but the scientists say the development of aroma-enhanced tomatoes could lead to tomatoes with richer, more customizable flavor profiles in the future.
