The most obvious sign of oversupply can be detected by looking at the overall numbers of rental units in any given condominium complex. More than 30 percent of the units rented out or put up for sale is a fair warning to buyers of an oversupply of units. Conversely, if real estate agents are flooded with listings and many For Sale signs appear on front lawns, there is oversupply. It's a buyers' market. [2013] - Dan S. Barnabic

There are a few foods that may nurture the protective coating in our mouth known as biofilm, and there are some foods that offer some dental benefits and protection. Xylitol is one of the most convenient of these foods, and it works in various ways. It is especially useful in our modern diet, because it can quickly help control mouth acidity. Alkalizing the mouth to a pH of around 7.4 will not only promote healthy mouth bacteria but will also prevent post-meal demineralization of teeth and any potential acidic damage to healthy biofilm. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The mere fact that a woman caresses her arm while looking at you or dangles a shoe while talking with you does not mean she's suddenly struck with an irresistible desire to roll over and say, "Do me." It could just mean that her arm itches or her feet hurt. If, however she does both and then flips her hair or licks her lips, you can start to get the picture. [2006] - Leil Lowndes

Over time, some of the ways of limiting food will prove to be more effective than others. A popular method is to skip breakfast and have a late lunch (the 16:8 diet). Another is to eat 75% fewer calories for two days a week (the 5:2 diet). If you're a bit more adventurous, you can try skipping food a couple of days a week (Eat Stop Eat), or as the health pundit Peter Attia does, go hungry for an entire week every quarter. [2019] - David A.

Light sleep represents the state between being fully conscious and either being in deep sleep or dreaming. In light sleep, we're usually unconscious, but some people can retain a sort of awareness during this state. Light sleep can be further subdivided into state N1 sleep and stage N2 sleep. N1 sleep represents the transition from wakefulness to sleep. In a normal night of adult sleep, only about 5% of the night is spent in this state. N2 sleep represents a deeper stage of light sleep. Almost half of an individual's night is spent in N2 sleep. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
