The modern 40s are so busy it’s hard to assess them. Researchers describe the new “rush hour of life…”

Eight hours of continuous, unmedicated sleep is one of life’s great pleasures. Actually, scratch “unmedicated.”

There are no grown-ups. We suspect this when we are younger, but can confirm it only once we are the ones writing books and attending parent-teacher conferences. Everyone is winging it, some just do it more confidently.

Do not buy those too-small jeans, on the expectation that you will soon lose weight.

It’s O.K.if you don’t like jazz.
