Getting enough water every day is important to your wellbeing and necessary for your organ functions. In the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the human adult body is composed of 60% water. Your brain, kidneys, heart and lungs need around 80% of water to function, and your skin needs to be composed of 75% water to maintain its elasticity. As your breathing, digestion, and waste removal depend on your constant rehydration, it is no wonder that you feel lethargic when you're thirsty. Many experts also go as far as saying that you need water more than food if you're lost in the wilderness.

In bed, as elsewhere, cold feet can be caused by a mix of cold exposure and poor microcirculation. When considering how to keep warm in bed, most solutions focus on the reducing cold exposure, but it’s important not to forget about circulation, too.

Reducing cold exposure usually means covering up and trapping heat, but it can also mean providing a source of heat—in this case, a portable one that you can bring with you into bed. Here, we’ll take a look at some ideas on how to keep warm in bed, in winter, or in other situations, as well as the things to remember when following each method.

It’s late into the night and you’re still typing away at your computer, with a list of things that need accomplishing. The next morning, you are bleary-eyed as you make your way to the pharmacy to pick up prescription drugs for your loved one.
