Wake up behind the wheel

Statistics say lack of sleep is one major cause of car accidents. Do heavy eyes ever plague you on the road? If so, try these three remedies for staying awake and alert.

  • Suck on a mint. Researchers report that the scents of peppermint and cinnamon boost altertness and cut down on fatigue. Pop a mint in your mouth on your next road trip and see if it works.

  • Crank up the tunes. Fast music with high frequency sounds -- high voices, violins, saxophones -- may cause your brain waves, heart rate, and breath to speed up to match the rhythm of the music.

  • Grab a cup of Joe. One recent study found that drinking coffee might be more effective than a power nap. Good reason to swing by that roadside Starbucks.

"Heeling" could roll your kids right into the hospital

From skateboards and inline skates to scooters and bicycles, kids love all kinds of wheels. But the latest trend, wheeled sneakers, may be more dangerous than people think. "Heeling" (named after the most popular brand of roller shoes called Heely's) is sending more and more kids to the ER everyday with scratches, bruises, and even broken bones.

Heely's are basically just convertible sneakers: walk in them like a regular shoe, or pop the wheels in the heel out and roll on them like roller skates. I think they sound like a total blast, but the problem seems to be that although the shoes come with recommendations for wearing protective gear, kids and parents alike don't seem to be taking it seriously.

Use common sense, people!
