When in doubt, choose black. Black is a popular color for clothing because it's background--you get noticed before your clothing. For most people, it's flattering. It makes heavy people look thin and thin folks look elegant. Men: try a black turtleneck sweater with a jacket. This lacks the formality of wearing a tie, yet has a finished look. [2005] - Sharon Romm

Rapamycin has been demonstrated to do something that no other drug has ever done before: extend maximum lifespan in a mammal.

Valium and benzodiazepine have been shown to suppress slow-wave sleep. This is an unfortunate outcome for someone wanting to feel better the next day. For sleep to have an impact in your life, it needs to include a robust amount of deep sleep and all of the restorative things that go along with it. Simply sedating someone doesn't produce this effect. Ambien (zolpidem), a drug introduced in 1993, seemed to feature only a sleep-promoting effect without all the dirtiness associated with benzodiazepine. Despite this new drug, people continued to have insomnia. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
