Warren (at the Warren Hardy School in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) understands that our adult minds work differently than the high school or college-age kids most Spanish learning programs are aimed at. He’s developed an entire program that offers shortcuts—some tips and tricks, some cues and clues—that really helped us get to the next step with our Spanish. You can take classes in person at his school in San Miguel (highly recommended) or, if you don’t have time for that, he’s created an online Webtutor course. [2014] - Dan Prescher

Sleeping pills are best used when people have specific and transient problems with their sleep. Here are some examples: 1) "I travel for work a couple times a month, and I really have problems sleeping in the hotels my company puts me up in. Outside of that, I'm fine." 2) "My husband was just diagnosed with cancer, and I'm really struggling to relax and sleep at night." 3) "I just returned from two weeks in India, and I'm struggling with jet lag." The key with sleeping pill use is having a plan. An essential component of the plan is when you will not take the pill or stop taking it entirely. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
