Compared to reading a printed book, reading on an iPad suppressed melatonin release by over 50 percent at night. Indeed, iPad reading delayed the rise of melatonin by up to three hours, relative to the natural rise in these same individuals when reading a printed book. When reading on the iPad, their melatonin peak, and thus instruction to sleep, did not occur until the early-morning hours, rather than before midnight. Unsurprisingly, individuals took longer to fall asleep after iPad reading relative to print-copy reading. [2017] - Matthew Walker

There are studies that indicate holding a 10-25% position in bonds with 75-90% stocks will actually very slightly outperform a position holding 100% stocks. Adding much beyond 25% bonds begins to hurt results. A portfolio comprised of 100% stocks--even in the broadly diversified VTSAX--is considered very aggressive. High short-term risk rewarded with top long-term results. Perfect for those who can handle the ride, are adding new money to their investments and who take the long view. [2016] - J L Collins
