    Left handed people are usually very creative and artistic. They are also prone to being ambidextrous, which is very helpful. Unfortunately, there are typically more left than right handed serial killers. Also, the left side was frowned upon in history. It meant clumsy or awkward, like the term two left feet. The French word "gauche" means left, pertaining to the word gaucherie which means awkward. The lefties used to be scolded but are now accepted as unique and there are many facilitating contrivances these days like left handed scissors and steno notepads.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
