Perchance, TO SLEEP Three Foodies to Follow on Facebook Inspiration for healthy eating lies only as far away as your Facebook feed. Here are three chefs who will keep you eating well.

Jx” Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s necessary for both your physical and mental health. Are you making yours count? Let Zeo Sleep Manager tell you. This system uses a headband to track your sleep stages, sending the data wirelessly to a bedside display or to your iPhone or Android smartphone. Every morning, check out how much you slept and how much of that was in deep sleep. By monitoring your sleep patterns, you also can better understand the effects of caffeine and other factors on your sleep quality. If you can’t figure out what’s causing your poor sleep, you can share your data with your doctor and discuss whether a sleep disorder might be at work. (Data from Zeo Sleep Manager does not replace a medical sleep study and cannot diagnose sleep problems.) Learn more at myzeo.com. OF GETTING THE FLU ONLINE GOOGLE YOUR CHANCES Johns Hopkins researchers found that the popular search engine Google may help emergency rooms prepare for a spike in ﬂu-related visits. Reporting in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, the group found a correlation between the number of Internet searches for “ﬂu” and the volume of patients visiting for ﬂu-like symptoms. It isn’t just hospitals that use the search engine giant to improve wellness— you can, too. By checking the Google Flu Tracking Tool at google.org/ﬂutrends/ us/#US, you can monitor the ﬂu in your state, then take precautions such as getting a ﬂu shot, being hypervigilant about hand washing, getting enough rest and avoiding people who have the ﬂu. To find out how your sleep habits measure up to other Americans and to get more advice on sleeping soundly, visit sleepfoundation.org and search “sleep report card.” How Does Your Sleep Quality Compare?
