Between family commitments and the pressures of work, few of us feel we get enough “me” time.
But according to researchers, there is one thing that matches the stress of not having enough free time: having too much.
Experts from the University of Cincinnati in Ohio and Baylor University in Texas asked 1329 teenagers how much spare time they had, and how happy they were.
Those who thought they had little free time were often miserable – but teens with plenty of time to themselves soon run out of things to do.
“What is more desirable: too little or too much spare time on your hands?

Add respected middleweight Matt Lindland to the growing contingent of people who feel UFC 185-pound champion Anderson Silva will be doing his best to avoid a rematch with Chael Sonnen if at all possible.
Though UFC President Dana White mentioned the obvious need to have Silva and Sonnen meet again after the outspoken grappler found himself tapping out in the contest’s closing minutes after dominating the bulk of their 2010 bout.
Lindland, who is in full disclosure a teammate of Sonnen’s, explained his reasoning in a recent conversation with MMAHQ where he pointed to statements from Silva’s management as indicating the Brazilian’s level of interest in taking the fight.
“Anderson will to find a way to weasel out of that fight. I don’t k

A few weeks ago, I detailed how one nutritionist stopped her food cravings. It was the most popular blog I wrote all month. So I’m back with more proven ways to quiet your cravings.
When you’re watching your weight, a chocolate chip cookie or a handful of salty chips are even more enticing than usual. These five rules, based on current nutrition research, can help you say no.
#1 Get Your Shut-Eye A lot of new research shows that when you don’t get enough sleep, you eat too much. Basically, your body is telling you that it needs energy. What it needs is the energizing power of sleep, not the calorie-laden energy of food.
#2 Drink a Glass of Water When the urge to reach for a cookie hits, have a glass of water instead and wait 10 minutes before eating anything. This tip works for you in two ways. If you are misinterpreting thirst as hunger, you’ve just satisfied the craving. If that doesn’t work, waiting 10 minutes can be enough for the craving to pass.
#3 Try a Low-Carb Diet Research published in the journal, Obesity, found that people on a low-fat diet craved carbs, fats and sugary foods more than those on a low-carb diet did. It seems that you’d crave the foods you’ve cut back on, but this study proves that’s not the case.
#4 Eat Three Healthy Meals. Keeping your blood sugar on an even keel can help you resist the siren call of carbs or sweets.
#5 If You Falter, Don’t Fail Face it. Even the most committed dieter is going to reach into the bag of corn chips at one time or another. The important thing when you stumble is to make sure you don’t fall. Nobody ever got fat eating one slice of cheesecake. Acknowledge that you’re off the wagon – then climb back up.
