The night guard needs to be cleaned daily, with weekly deep cleaning.The same bacteria in your mouth will be transferred onto your night guard after wearing it all night.If your guard is not cleaned daily, the following can occur:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Bacteria buildup</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Bad taste and/or odors</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Mold and mildew</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Plaque buildup</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The guard becomes discolored or stained</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reduced lifespan for your guard</li></ul>

The Why?

The best time to clean is first thing in the morning . If you wait until later, you place it at higher risk for bacterial growth. As it dries, the residue hardens and becomes hard to clean.Simply brush the guard thoroughly with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Brush gently all sides and angles, not just the portion that comes in contact with the teeth. Afterrwards, let it dry completely before storing the clean night guard in its case in a cool, dry place.If in a rush, quickly rinsing the guard with water, but do your best to brush it when you have time.

The Dailey Routine

Clean the night guard with denture cleaner or mouthguard cleaners. Avoid mouthwash that contains alcohol as this may damage the guard.Also, regularly clean the guard's case by washing it with dish soap then thoroughly rinse it off.To deep clean organically:<ol><li>soak in white vinegar for 30 min</li><li>Rinse and soak in hydrogen peroxide for 30 min</li><li>If the guard is starting to smell or turn colors, soak in water and baking soda solution for 30 min</li></ol>Set a timer and do not over-soak in any cleaning liquid as it will damage the guard.

The Weekly Routine

<ol><li>Do not throw the night guard in a dishwasher or boiling water. High heat can warp and ruin the night guard.</li><li>Avoid bleach, since bleach can actually damage the night guard. It can also be dangerous if you don’t rinse all of the bleach off.</li><li>Keep an eye out for any cracks, damage, or uneven wear. Replace the night guard at any first sign of damage to avoid damage to your teeth or jaw. </li></ol>

5 habits that you must create | productive life

1 Exercise on a Monday night (nothing fun happens on a Monday night).2 On the fence about a purchase? Wait 72 hours before you buy it.3 Tip: the quickest supermarket queue is always behind the fullest trolley (greeting, paying and packing take longer than you think).4 Bring fruit to work. Bring fruit to bed!5 Consider going down to four days a week. It’s likely a disproportionate amount of your fifth day’s work is taxed anyway, so you’ll lose way less than a fifth of your take-home pay.6 Everyone has an emotional blind spot when they fight. Work out what yours is, and remember it.

1 to 6

7 Plant spring bulbs, even if they’re just in a pot.8 Send a voice note instead of a text; they sound like personal mini podcasts.9 Keep a bird feeder by a window, ideally the kitchen. It’ll pass the time when you’re washing up.10 Always bring ice to house parties (there’s never enough).11 Get the lighting right: turn off the overhead one, turn on lots of lamps (but turn off when you leave the room).12 Sharpen your knives.13 Feeling sluggish at work? Try the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2017/aug/18/productive-at-work-neuroscientists-advice-multitasking">Pomodoro technique</a>: 25 minutes on, five-minute break, and repeat.

Try a relaxing soak with lavender bath oil before bed.21 Add the milk at least one minute after the tea has brewed.22 Laugh shamelessly at your own jokes.23 It might sound obvious, but a pint of water before bed after a big night avoids a clanger of a hanger.24 Start a Saturday morning with some classical music – it sets the tone for a calm weekend.25 Look closely.26 Set time limits for your apps. Just go to the settings on your smartphone and add a limit – for example, if you have an iPhone <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/aside/iph7e81fd7d8/15.0/ios/15.0">turn on Screen Time</a>.27 If possible, take the stairs.

100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying

Discipline is the act of implementing behaviors and creating healthy and productive habits that provide long-term support in achieving our goals when motivation is low. Improving discipline through behavior change and habit creation pays off later in the year. With discipline, we can still feel focused on our goals later in the year, and by this time, have already made and continue to make significant progress in our journeys to achieve the goals and resolutions we set in January.

Self Discipline First

It's the Monday of the month. Crush your goals!

<ol><li>Active Recall</li><li>Spaced Repetition</li><li>Feynman Technique</li><li>Understand, Don't Memorize</li><li>Identify its Real-Life Application </li></ol>When you don't use some information, the brain regards it as unimportant and forgets it. So use (or keep revising) the information to feed it to the long-term memory.If you study to remember you will forget, but if you study to understand you will remember.

How to Remember All you Read in 5 Simple Steps

Active Recall is the process of using your brain to retrieve some information that you cannot remember at the moment.How does it work?Whenever you go through your notes, don't just read them or re-write them. Ask yourself questions about the topic first and without looking at the notes, try to recollect everything about it. When you are done, take a look at the notes and recognize what you missed. In this way, you actively involve your brain and test yourself on whether you know the topic well. This is the most effective way to study and is better than just re-reading the notes.

Active Recall

Spaced Repetition means revising something after regular intervals. If you read something and do not revise it afterward, you will surely forget it. To remember things for a longer duration you should keep revising the topics as follows-:After you finish a topic, revise it just after reading it. Then revise it in the gaps of 1 day, 7 days, 16 days and 35 days. This will help you to retain information for a longer time. Also, when you are revising use the active recall method, which will boost your memory skills even more!

Spaced Repetition

The Feynman Technique works on your understanding of things. If you can't explain it in simple language, you don't understand it yourself. How to apply it to studies? It is simple, explain it to your friends, your pet, your wall, etc. OR, Write down the topic on paper and write everything that you know of it. Now examine all that you missed.Explain it as you are explaining to a child, in the simplest language. It will also help you to actively recall things.Think like a child, what all questions he/she could ask and how would you explain them! This will make you conceptually stronger!

Feynman Technique

In one of my ideas written earlier, I have explained why you should not memorize and rather understand, using Pareto's Principle. In learning something new, it's obvious that you will have to utilize your energy. If you utilize it in memorizing, you will only be able to answer factual or formula-based questions, not conceptual ones.But if you understand what you read, first, there is no need to memorize it and second, all the facts and formulas will already be understood, which makes your work easier.You can check your understanding by using the Feynman Technique!<a href="https://deepstash.com/idea/187793/achieve-more-by-doing-less">Pareto's Principle</a>

Understand, Don't Memorize

Whatever you read, try to relate it with your real life. It makes it easier to remember. For example, What happens when you keep a cold water bottle outside at room temperature, the answer is simple, we observe droplets of water forming on the surface of the bottle. Was there a need to memorize this? NO. Because it keeps happening in everyday life and you know it. That is how knowing real-life application could help you remember things, because -<ol><li>It creates curiosity and develops an interest.</li><li>It could answer your question "WHY ARE WE STUDYING THIS", which makes the subject more meaningful.</li></ol>

Identify its Real-Life Application

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn

These ideas could help you remember things for a longer time and also develop an interest in them.

Research-based strategies to boost your memory and keep it strong.

Substance Abuse: Know the Signs

Substance abuse isn't something you should take lightly. It occurs when you use alcohol, prescription medicine, and other legal and illegal substances too much or in the wrong way.

Substance Abuse

Substance abuse differs from addiction. Many people with substance abuse problems are able to quit or can change their unhealthy behavior. Addiction, on the other hand, is a disease. It means you can’t stop using even when your condition causes you harm.
