A new study finds that the color of your bedroom matters when it comes to sleep quality. The research was done by Travelodge, and found that those who sleep in rooms colored yellow, blue, or green get the best night's sleep. Those who slept in bedrooms colored purple were found to sleep the worst. Study authors say this may happen because purple is a very mentally stimulating color. Other bad-sleep colors included gray and brown. One sleep expert says, "This is an amazing result, as there are specialized receptors called ganglion cells in the retina part of our eyes, which are more sensitive to the color blue." He explains the ganglion cells feed information to the brain in the area that controls our internal clocks and affects how we perform and feel during the day. (Daily Mail)

You've probably heard that one year is equal to seven dog years . . . but that's not really accurate.   

For instance, you might know someone whose dog lived to be 17 or 18 . . . but you probably DON'T know any 119-year-old people.  So researchers at the University of Georgia came up with a more accurate way to calculate dog years.

Dogs age at different rates depending on their SIZE . . . and their aging slows down as they get older.  So here are the rules to come up with a SMALL dog's age:  

1.  The first two years of a small dog's life are each 12-and-a-half dog years. 

2.  After that, dog years are different by breed.  Each year is 4.32 dog years for dachshunds . . . 4.87 dog years for Chihuahuas . . . 5.55 dog years for cocker spaniels . . . and 7.65 dog years for French bulldogs.

3.  So an 18-year-old dachshund is really 94 in dog years . . . not 119.

Here are the rules to come up with a MEDIUM dog's age:  

1.  The first two years of a medium dog's life are each 10-and-a-half dog years. 

2.  After that, the dog years are different by breed.  Each year is 5.74 dog years for Labrador retrievers . . . 5.33 dog years for pitbulls . . . and 13.42 years for bulldogs.

And here are the rules to come up with a BIG dog's age:  

1.  The first two years of a big dog's life are each nine dog years. 

2.  After that, each year is 7.84 dog years for German Shepherds . . . and 8.90 years for boxers.

3.   So a two-year-old dachshund and a three-year-old German shepherd are both 25 in dog years.

Nobody wants to get robbed, but most people don't realize all the ways they're making their houses  ATTRACTIVE to burglars.  HouseLogic.com has a list of eight things people do that make it easier for burglars to rob you.

1.  Leaving a ladder in the yard. Burglars can easily get around a lot of home  security systems by getting into a second-story window that isn't wired in.  So don't leave a ladder sitting outside in your yard, where anyone can get to it.

2.  Leaving new appliance and electronics packaging out on the curb. When you get a new TV and leave the box outside next to your garbage, EVERYONE knows you just got a new TV.

3.  Having flimsy wood-panel doors on back or side entrances. Burglars often get in by just kicking a hole in a back or side door.  So every door should be steel-wrapped and deadbolted . . . or at least it should be solid wood that can't be kicked in.

4.  Hanging a mirror in your entryway.  Think about it:  A mirror FACING your front door allows people to look in through a window, and see whether your alarm is set.  If you need to have a mirror by the door, hang it where it can't  be seen from outside.

5.  Leaving the grass uncut. Never go on a long vacation without getting someone you trust to maintain your yard, and pick up mail.

Also, don't leave the garage door opener in your second car, if it's going to stay in the driveway or on the street.  If your garage is attached, a burglar can break your car window and use the opener to walk right into your house.

6.  Using a fire safe.  Don't put your valuables into a lockbox or fire safe ,and leave it sitting in the closet.  That's like putting everything the burglars want into a convenient carrying case for them.  Use a wall safe, or get a safe deposit box at the bank.

7.  Updating your Facebook status.  Think about all the "friends of friends" nearby who'll know exactly where you are when you post something online.  And don't upload your vacation photos until you get BACK FROM VACATION.

If you're using  Foursquare or any other GPS-based apps that let you "check  in" at a certain location, keep track of your security settings and only allow  trusted friends to see your posts.

8.  Selling things on Craigslist.  When you're selling something locally, the worst thing you can do is invite complete strangers INTO YOUR HOUSE to look at  it.  If they like it, they can just pick it up and run with it . . . or  worse, steal it at gunpoint.

If you don't know the buyers, arrange to meet them in a public place.
