"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The most important factor in your sleep cycle is your exposure to sunlight.

The extremely bright flare of the sun gets in your eyes at an intensite MUCH brighter than any normal light. This lowers melatonin levels and keeps you awake.

When you go back inside, your melatonin levels increase, and you become tired.

When you stay inside all the time, your body thinks its always night, and you will find it difficult to sleep.

Any amount of sun helps, alot.


The second most important thing is exercise. Do anything, just don't do it right before you sleep or it will keep you awake.

Spot on advice, if you want to not feel sleepy after 4-6 hours of sleep go outside and look around the sun first thing in the morning. Don't look directly at it and do this for a minute or two.

You should feel better.
