This is interesting …Researchers in the U.S. and Denmark have found that fans of horror flicks, alien invasion movies and post-apocalyptic movies are coping better with the pandemic and experience less anxiety regarding COVID-19. (Study Finds)

Have you tried a weighted blanket?If you have a hard time sleeping, it might be worth a try. Researchers in Sweden found that weighted blankets not only led to better sleep for study participants, but they also had more energy during the day and had reduced levels of depression and stress. Researchers think the reason weighted blankets are so effective is because the pressure acts almost like a massage on your muscles and joints. (Best Life)

Pumpkin spice mac and cheese?It’s very possible that the pumpkin spice craze has officially jumped the shark. The classic Kraft Mac and Cheese in the blue box is launching a pumpkin spice Mac and Cheese -- but it’s only in Canada … for now. Instead of selling it in stores, Canadians need to put their names on a waitlist on the company website for a chance to be one of the “lucky” 1,000 winners who get to try this strange concoction. If you win, Kraft will ship an instant cup of noodles to you – yep, they are putting the stuff in what looks like a disposable coffee cup you’d get at Starbucks -- and it will even have your name spelled wrong on it! If it’s a hit, who knows how long before we see it on shelves? (Delish)
