Polyphasic Sleep Can Add 5 Hours to Your Day

It’s not for everyone. Naps might be a luxury to many in the world and a requirement for some, but they normally do not do enough to change the way that people function within their given sleep schedule. The different types of polyphasic sleep schedules might be appealing to some, particularly those who are busy but do not want to hurt their health as a result.

The idea is this: take lots of naps. Don’t have long stretches of sleep, but instead take several naps spread out through the day in a schedule that gets the person most of the benefits of a good night’s sleep but without all the time required.

In the infographic below by Pischke, we examine the various types of polyphasic sleep, the benefits and drawbacks, and some tips for those wanting to give it a shot.

A Quick Emergency Supply Checklist

There are websites, magazines, and even television shows that highlight the lives and times of preppers. While it’s not the ideal life for most, it’s something that those involved value tremendously. When the world starts to crumble, the preppers want to be ready for whatever is thrown at them.

In this little, simple emergency food supply checklist, the folks at Food Protection have put together some mini-prepper information that will help those who aren’t fully embraced in the lifestyle to still make it through many of the potential disasters that may be coming in this world. They also have a PDF that explores it all further. You don’t have to be a full-blown prepper to be properly prepared.

5 Quick Blog Post Title Tips

Titles can make or break a blog. The good ones rock and can draw in an audience that you normally wouldn’t have because of the sharing component. People like to share things that sound interesting on social media and titles can be the difference. In many ways, it’s more important than the content itself.

The one out of the group that I think is most important is #2. This is no longer a world where generalizations or all-encompassing posts are regularly effective. That’s not to say that they can’t be, but as Google and Bing improve their ability to narrow down results to exactly what people want and as people get used to the search engines presenting them answers to even the most obscure questions, it has grown ever-important to solve a problem with nearly every post. In the case of this post itself, the problem could be as simple as someone searching for “blog title tips”. Hopefully, in the next few days, Google and Bing will show them this article.

Search and social sharing are the two most important components of driving new traffic to your blog. If you they can’t find you or they’re not being presented your content in their social streams, they aren’t going to become a visitor. It sounds too simple, almost a “duh” moment, but it surprises me how often this portion of content marketing gets missed.

Why the President is Distancing Himself from Obamacare

The Importance of Water for Health

It doesn’t take a genius or health nut to appreciate water. We drink it in abundance every day… at least we should be. The health benefits are unquestioned; water is God’s ever-important universal ingredient for life.

In the infographic below from Get Skinny Be Happy, we take a look at the scientific reasons why you should always be drinking plenty of water. Dehydration isn’t just bad for you in general. There are specific ailments that can arise from not drinking enough of it.

Obamacare is Off to a Good Start with 3% of Enrollment Target

It’s a good start… if you’re one of those who is against the program. With over a third of the 2013 enrollment time time behind us, we’re not at a third of the enrollment projections. We’re not at a third of a third of the enrollment projections. We’re not even at a third of a third of a third.

The numbers are in for the 12 states that are having the most success with their healthcare websites and those numbers aren’t exactly thrilling. While it’s good that 49,100 people are signed up for health insurance, that’s tiny compared to the target of 1.4 million. While the numbers were expected to trickle in gradually, they’re downright weak according to Avalere President Dan Mendelson.

“The technical problems of the website and enrollment generally are causing the administration to go much slower on the positive messaging that is necessary to build enthusiasm for the law and that’s an issue,” Mendelson said.

According to Reuters:

The 49,100 enrollments also include Medicaid sign-ups in Hawaii and Rhode Island, which did not provide a break-out, Avalere said. It based its numbers on public and press reports for the above mentioned states as well as Connecticut, the District of Colombia, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, New York and Washington.

5 Types of Infographics

In the ever-changing world of online marketing, one of the tools that has stayed relatively consistent in its results over the past few years is the infographic. I remember first getting started with building and marketing infographics back in 2008. Things haven’t changed a whole lot since then.

Two things that have definitely changed are the saturation and the search value. The industry is so saturated today that it’s nearly impossible to get the same type of exposure now that we once saw a few years ago. It was once possible to get a great infographic in front of millions of people by having it published on major blogs and websites. Today, the saturation has made it to where getting one posted to Mashable or the NY Times is extremely challenging.

The search value has changed as well. Google is very well aware of the use of infographics for inbound links and they’ve taken measures to make sure that this ultimate form of “link baiting” is not overpowered. That’s not to say that there’s no search value. It’s still there and is very strong. The days of “build an infographic and rank higher instantly” are behind us.

Here is a breakdown (in infographic form, of course) of five of the most common forms of infographics. Click to enlarge.
