'Retired' now, I still hear that it's healthier-to go to bed at the same time every night & -to eat a steady diet. And–since I don't have to 'be anywhere' on time (most of the time), my sleep-schedule is largely dictated by 'what I eat & when.'
In general, my nutition/scheduling formula goes:
- Breakfast at around 8:00 a.m. (honestly 'breaking the fast that started after lunch/dinner yesterday,' as I only eat two "meals" a day)
- At least one Egg
- One 'serving' of Grains (Tortilla, Pizza-Crust, Bread in a Deli-Sandwich, Granola-Bar/Pop-Tart)
- One 'serving' of Protein (usually Meat - a handful of Chicken Fajitas, a Hot-Dog or two, Pizza-Toppings, the meat in a Breakfast-Burrito (from McDonald's or from Walmart's Frozen-breakfast selection) or the meat in a Deli-Sandwich
- One 'serving' of Vegetables (Canned–either Green-Beans or Sweet-Peas–or Pizza-Toppings or the vegetables in a Deli-Sandwich)
- One 'serving' of Beans (usually Black Beans, tho I've been finishing-off a bowl of Black Eyed Peas for a couple weeks ... my 'serving'-size is about "one teaspoon"), with Turmeric Powder sprinkled on top.
- One Apple
- One small glass of Orange- or Pomegranate Juice
- One multivitamin supplement
- One bowl of Ice-Cream on Friday & Saturday
- Lunch/Dinner at around 4:00 p.m.
- One 'serving' of Grains
- One 'serving' of Protein
- One 'serving' of Vegetables
- One glass of-Water on Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday, -Sprite on Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday
- One Altoid (curiously strong Mint)
- sometimes three or four Antacid Tablets
- a Banana at around 9:45 p.m. (as a grandmother of mine suggested I do every night right before ...
(At about 10:00 p.m. I 'go to bed' (though I generally stay up reading & -watching TV until after midnight)). I usually wake up before 6:00 a.m. ('rewarding myself' with candy or cookies if I'm out of bed before 6:00). And–after Lunch/Dinner–I 'nap' until about 6:00 p.m.
In my twenties, I was a 'coffee-fiend'—having a cup every hour on the hour from the time I got up to maybe-a-couple-hours-before-bedtime. Now (mostly because of my acid reflux ... the main reason why I eat Dinner so early; and also because of an Oklahoma Gazette-article I rehd years ago) I limit myself to 4 cups a day—one right when I'm out of bed, one an hour later, one after breakfast, and one at about noon.
'Those words' (below-hyperlinked to an article on the connection between your diet & your sleep-quality) are built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Formula” is built on words that mean “Words Used in a |Ceremony or Ritual, Small #Form.”
(The word "Form" is built on words that mean
"Beauty, Outward Appearance (Morpheus)."
The word “Nutrition (Nutrient)” is built on words that mean “to Swim" (|Let Flow, |Suckle).
The word “Schedule” is built on words that mean “to |Cleave, Split (to |Shed, |Splinter)" (originally "|Slips of |Paper attached to a document as an |Appendix" (and that sense is still used on U.S. tax-forms), 'Time'-use originally used with Railway; originally pronounced "sed-yul'; now pronounced "shed-yul" in Britain and "skedge-yul" in the U.S.)
I wondered how 'Formula' shifted from meaning 'words of (what we Catholics call) The Mass or -The Communion (or Catholic-Confirmation or Wedding or Confession or Anointing-of-the-Sick or Funeral or ... Exorcism?)' to 'math-equation or chemical-mixture (of gasolene or baby-food).'
Then I looked again and saw Etymonline quote OED, which said that Carlyle used 'formula' in the sense of "rule slavishly followed without understanding." I'm sure that's not to imply that formulas (formulae?) are created without understanding, nor that people who use formulas are incapable of understanding them; but more like people who use them often do so without worrying about the processes they imply

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
