How to Turn Off Your Brain Before Bed, So You Can Finally Get a Good Night's Sleep
You may be physically exhausted when you get into bed at night, but if your mind is racing, there's a good chance you'll have trouble falling asleep. That's why it's so important to find ways to unwind before bed, so you can quiet those thoughts and get a full night of restful sleep. Melissa Bernbaum, MD, a neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine at Huntington Hospital in New York, told POPSUGAR that this process actually starts hours before bedtime.
In addition to avoiding daytime naps, Dr. Bernbaum recommends cutting off caffeine around noon if you're typically in bed at 10 p.m. "There are some people who say that caffeine doesn't prevent them from falling asleep, [but] it may actually decrease deep sleep," she explained. Starting at least an hour before bedtime, power down any devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. You should also try to avoid anything that causes stress in the evenings, including work. "While some of us have jobs that require working from home at times, try to avoid any non-urgent work related activities prior to bedtime," Dr. Bernbaum advised.

If you're constantly on the go, you may only have time to worry once you're lying down - so, to combat this, Dr. Bernbaum suggests picking a designated time earlier in the evening to work through anything that's on your mind. "This may include making a to-do list for the next day or writing down a list of problems with a solution for each one," she said. "This way, [when you're] getting in bed, you can feel reassured that you have already dealt with your stresses."
Once that's done - and at least 30 minutes before bed - Dr. Bernbaum recommends switching to a relaxing activity, such as reading a book or practicing meditation.
You might also try yoga or light stretching, which can reduce stress and anxiety and promote sleepiness, explained Kent Smith, D-ABDSM, ASBA, president of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy and founding director of Sleep Dallas. More intense exercise may do the opposite, though, so wrap up those cardio sessions at least two hours before bed.

Dragun Beauty's Latest Launch Is Basically Magic In the Form of a 6-Pan Face Palette
Nikita Dragun has left me inspired on many occasions. I don't say that as a fan of the YouTuber, even though I've watched her greet her "draguns" from her bedroom since, well, I was in my dorm room. I say that as a beauty editor, makeup lover, and woman who believes in the power of makeup as a way to help others feel like their best selves and express themselves creatively.
Dragun recently released what she called her Dragun Beauty Face Palette ($45) and credited her journey as a transgender woman building her brand as the inspiration behind it. While that alone made me want to rip the outer packaging of her palette and dive right into the pressed powders, it was her tribute to her mother that made me even more excited to try it. My mother was, after all, the person who spurred my love of makeup and made me the woman I am today.
Once I got my hands on the palette, I flipped open its purple case - which features a 3D, anime-inspired illustration of Nikita Dragun's face - to six pans of powders. It contains two bronzer shades (Fem, which is a light caramel color, and Surge, a dark cocoa), two peach-pink blushes (T Girl, which has a fine shimmer, and BB Girl, which has a matte finish), and two highlighters (Fantasy, which is a cool lavender with a fine shimmer and Silicone, which is gold with slightly chunkier sparkle). After sweeping my finger across each of the pans, I found that the powders were both silky and pigmented. They blended seamlessly into my medium-tan skin tone. I picked up a mix of both Surge and Fem with a contour brush and swept it along my jawline, cheekbones, and the bridge of my nose before buffing it out. Then, I lightly tapped BB Girl and T Girl onto the apples of my cheeks. This bronzed, glowy makeup look is one I would typically wear to work. To make it even more eye-catching, I used a fluffy highlighter blush to add one of the vibrant highlighter hues.
I was surprised to find that I preferred Fantasy over Silicone. I typically gravitate toward golden highlighters, but the lavender gave my cheeks a subtle element of magic.
Like, I said, she's left me inspired on different occasions. With this one, I'm driven to try bolder hues along my cheekbones. Check out the palette, ahead.

The True Story Behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Is Way More Disturbing Than the Movie
Tobe Hooper's 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of cinema's OG horror classics and a must see for any scary movie aficionado. Given how stomach-churning a lot of the scenes in the gory slasher can be, it's hard to imagine that the film's story has any root in reality. Unfortunately, like a lot of movies and TV shows out there, a real-life serial killer served as inspiration for the movie's chainsaw-wielding villain, Leatherface.
While a family of cannibalistic hillbillies who prey on unsuspecting teenagers is luckily not part of the original story (that we know of), the idea for Leatherface came out of the case of murderer Edward Theodore "Ed" Gein, also known as the Butcher of Plainfield. He is suspected to have killed several victims between the years of 1954 and 1957 and remains one of the most disturbing and notorious serial killers in history.
The Origin of a Serial Killer
As a young man growing up in La Crosse, WI, in the early 1900s, Gein became obsessed with his religious fanatic of a mother, Augusta, who frequently ranted and raved about lust and carnal desire to Gein and his older brother, Henry. Henry would often criticize their mother, which infuriated Gein. In 1944, while the brothers were fighting a fire in the brush near their farm in Plainfield, WI, Henry went missing. Though he was later found by police with large bruises on his head, untouched by the fire, the officers dismissed Gein as a suspect due to his shy and docile nature.
Since he didn't have a close relationship with his alcoholic father, George, Gein obsessively cared for his mother until her death in 1945. After she passed, he took up the unsettling habit of robbing graves containing recently buried female bodies. He'd cut off body parts as souvenirs (and then return the rest of the body to the grave), which led to him experimenting with necrophilia and human taxidermy.
Michael Wincott's portrayal of Gein in Hitchcock.
Like Leatherface, he moved into a ramshackle home which he filled with his gruesome "trophies." Unlike the movie's killer, however, Gein wore the skins of his victims for reasons other than a disfiguring skin disease. To quell his desire to be a woman, he took to tanning the skins of the corpses he dug up to make corsets, leggings, belts made from female nipples, and masks so he could make a "woman suit" and become his mother. He reportedly had a vest of female skin complete with breasts attached and female genitalia to wear over his own.
He eventually went on to kill two women, Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden, in his town in 1957 (and was a main suspect in many other missing persons cases). Though Leatherface uses a chainsaw throughout the film, Gein shot both of his victims with a pistol. Once caught, Gein pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and was committed to a criminal mental hospital. Around a decade later, he stood trial again and was found guilty of murder and sent to the Central State Hospital in Wisconsin and the Mendota Mental Health Institute, where he later died of natural causes in 1984.
The Films He's Influenced
On top of giving Hollywood the idea for Leatherface, Gein also inspired a few other iconic horror movie characters. The first is Norman Bates, whom author Robert Bloch based off of Gein in his 1959 novel Psycho. Alfred Hitchcock later adapted the story for his hit 1960 thriller and cast Anthony Perkins as Norman. The parallels between Norman and Gein are obvious: both had an unhealthy fascination with their overbearing mothers and a love of taxidermy, and both dressed up as women in the wake of their mothers' deaths. The Silence of the Lambs fans might see connections between Gein and the Jame Gumb character (aka "Buffalo Bill"), who was created with Gein's bloody history in mind.
There have been a number of sequels to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Most recently, more than 40 years after the 1974 original hit theaters, 2017's Leatherface told the villain's origin story, offering a glimpse into how this particular character came to be. While all of these horror films are grisly, to be sure, the real-life inspiration has us far more unsettled.

Helen Mirren Discovers the Perils of Online Dating in the Tense Trailer For The Good Liar
Online dating can be a roller coaster no matter how old you are, which Helen Mirren and Sir Ian McKellan prove in the tense trailer for Bill Condon's The Good Liar.
The drama, which is based on the critically acclaimed novel by Nicholas Searle, sees Mirren playing wealthy widow Betty, who thinks she's finally found a worthy connection with a charming, handsome older man she met online.

The New Trailer For War Drama 1917 Includes Basically Every British Actor You Love
I suggest sitting down before you watch the new trailer for Sam Mendes's upcoming war drama, 1917, since the World War I epic looks tense as f*ck.

I Am Inconsolable After Watching This Woman Get High and Film a Rafiki Makeup Tutorial
I don't often find myself laughing uncontrollably at makeup tutorials, but I can always count on Brandi TV to change that for me. The YouTuber, known for making hilarious videos of herself getting high and attempting to recreate looks inspired by popular movie characters, is back with an all-new under-the-influence tutorial, and this time she's taking on Rafiki, the wise baboon from The Lion King.
In the video, Brandi eats a few weed-infused caramel candies before diving into the tutorial, and needless to say, hilarity ensues as she attempts to make a beard out of an old headband and snow white hair extensions, uses old beer cans to make Rafiki's bakora stick, and even elicits some help from her chihuahua (appropriately dressed as Simba, of course) to sing "Circle of Life." The end result definitely isn't as creepy as an older tutorial she filmed, inspired by The Nun, but I do have to admit that it's quite impressive. Watch the hilarious video above and try not to keel over in laughter.
Yep, Tom Holland Shaved His Head, and We're Already Mourning His Curly Brown Locks
RIP, Tom Holland's hair. In a shoutout video made for a fan on Tuesday, the 23-year-old actor casually revealed that he's shaved off all of his curly brown locks - so, please, only refer to me as Aunt May from now on, because this might as well be Uncle Ben's funeral all over again. According to a comment on the video, Holland likely shaved his head for his role as US Army veteran Nico Walker in the upcoming crime drama film Cherry, but that doesn't change the fact that some fans now think he looks completely unrecognizable.
Twitter has gone so far as to compare him to Eminem, Justin Timberlake, and Eleven from Stranger Things. One fan even made an in memoriam video set to the tune of Sarah McLachlan's "In the Arms of the Angel" - truly heartbreaking. Was it worth it, Tom? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, see what Twitter had to say about Holland's new 'do, and please enjoy this stroll down memory lane through a few of his best hair moments.

Watch Kristen Bell Try to Stay Cool As Her Daughter Sings Lizzo At the Top of Her Lungs
Kristen Bell's daughter is feeling "good as hell" and she doesn't care who knows it. On Tuesday, Kristen shared a clip of her kid belting out her best Lizzo lyrics during their morning car ride. In typical mom fashion, Kristen kept her giggles to herself and simply appreciated her daughter's backseat show - made-up lyrics and all.
Kristen and her husband Dax Shepard are the proud parents of 6-year-old Lincoln and 4-year-old Delta. It's not clear which daughter decided to sing her heart out for Kristen's Instagram, but if we had to guess, it's probably Lincoln. Delta's incredible rendition of "Let It Go" sounded slightly different, although it looks like both of Kristen's girls have inherited her love for singing. Keep reading to see more clips, and find out how this AM jam session put a positive spin on the rest of Kristen's day.
A Dietitian Explains How to Eat Hummus Without Sabotaging Your Low-Carb Diet
There's so much to love about hummus: the creamy texture and filling protein, the way it pairs perfectly with crisp vegetables. But if you're following a low-carb diet, you may be unsure how the Mediterranean dip fits into your plan. After all, legumes are relatively high in carbohydrates, and most low-carb diets allow only 50 to 100 grams of net carbs per day. So, what's the verdict?
"The main ingredient in most hummus recipes is garbanzo beans (or chickpeas), which contain a notable amount of carbohydrates and should be consumed in moderation when on a low-carb diet," Kristen Smith, MS, RD, LD, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told POPSUGAR. "However, most hummus recipes contain several other ingredients, including tahini and olive oil, which happen to be low in carbohydrates. When all the ingredients for hummus are combined, the outcome is a food moderate in carbohydrates."
More importantly, "all carbohydrate-containing foods in hummus are complex carbohydrates," she noted. "Complex carbs will take your body longer to digest and not cause a spike in blood sugar."
That means you can usually enjoy hummus on a low-carb diet, as long as you watch your portions. "The portion you can consume will depend on the total carbohydrates allowed per day on your plan," Kristen said. She explained that most people on a very low-carb diet can enjoy at least two tablespoons of hummus (that's 5 grams of net carbs, calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs), while those following a more flexible plan can have at least 1/3 cup (13 grams of net carbs).
If you want to limit carbs even further, you can also try mixing up the recipe. "Hummus can be made with a variety of non-starchy vegetables, including carrots or cauliflower," Kristen told POPSUGAR. "Consider making your own, combining both garbanzo beans and cauliflower for a lower carbohydrate hummus option."
