Using the app, you can customize your sleep routine by falling asleep to ocean waves and waking up to meditative flutes with a natural bright light. No matter what you choose, it's so much better than your phone's default alarm. Or if you don't want to splurge on the Hatch, a sunrise alarm clock if your regular alarm does the opposite of motivating you to tackle your responsibilities for the day. This gradually wakes you up, starting at 10% brightness and going all the way to 100% by the time you're ready to get up, which also means it's great for rooms that get little to no natural light. A Five-Minute Journal so you can take a little time for yourself before you get going with the rest of your routine.

This easily sticks onto your fridge or wall and will come in real handy when they try to trick you and give you that "Dad did NOT feed me this morning" kinda look.

Dodge City to require microchipping for pets
DODGE CITY, Kan. (KSNW) — Dodge City pet owners, take note: Fido and Fluffy will soon need a tiny piece of tech to stay street legal. At Monday night's City Commission meeting, officials approved an ordinance requiring all cats and dogs registered within city limits to be microchipped. The goal? To help reunite lost pets with their owners and promote responsible pet ownership across the community. Microchipping is a simple procedure where a chip about the size of a grain of rice is inserted under a pet's skin, typically between the shoulder blades. The chip contains the owner's contact information and can be scanned by animal shelters and vets, but it's not a GPS tracker. Plane hits car in Reno County; no injuries The city says the change will assist animal control and local shelters in quickly identifying lost pets, making the process of getting them home much smoother. Similar ordinances have already been adopted in other Kansas cities, including Wichita. Dodge City says pet owners are responsible for the cost of microchipping, which typically runs between $40 and $83. Local veterinary clinics and animal care facilities offer the service. For more information on the ordinance or how to register your pet, contact Dodge City Animal Control at 620-225-1567 or visit them at 104 N. 14th Ave. For more Kansas news, click here.
