MRSA is a highly contagious and potentially fatal bacterial infection that has been gaining a lot of press lately because it's just now being discovered how rampant it is, particularly in hospitals. And this has lead to lots of scrambling around to find the best protection from the bacteria. British department store chain Marks & Spencer thinks they have the answer -- MRSA Pajamas.

The Pajamas are like any old pajamas, except for one crucial difference: They have threads of silver woven into them. Silver has known anti-bacterial properties and it's said this fabric can kill any MRSA bacteria that comes into contact with it. The pajamas cost £45 (about $92 US)

Critics say that the pajamas don't offer much protection and are just a way for hospital staff to cover up the fact that they are responsible for the spread of MRSA because the don't follow all required sanitary procedures like washing hands.

Morning hours aren't my best friend. When the sun begins to rise, I slither as far under my quilts and sheets as humanly possible, like an earthworm working its way deep underground. I'm not a morning person. What can I say?

However, I've found it's usually the best time to get in a good workout. As the day goes on I've been known to toss aside a much needed session at the gym or park for any reason but the right reason. Typically, I'm worn out by evening and convinced that excercising my body will only prove punishing and keep me up way past my preferred bedtime. As you can see, I'm not the most disciplined but I'm always looking to try new methods to ensure I get some type of physical workout on a consistent basis.

This Yoga in Bed DVD sounds like a good fit for a person like me, and can be done in the morning to get your day going or at night. The nighttime workout is said to help you sleep better and fall asleep faster. The greatest part about having a DVD like this on hand is you never have to get out of your pajamas and all 20 asanas can be done in the comfort of your bed. Created by Edward Vilga, the DVD can be purchased at Amazon.com for $9.99, which shouldn't put a big dent in anyone's pocket. Now I just need to move the TV into the bedroom...
