Atari Punk Console

For those of you that can’t get enough of all things that remind you of the good old days when Atari was the top of the line in gaming, here’s a gadget to pick up.  If the cute guys on the outside weren’t enough to draw you in, the settings above each knob are humorous enough to catch any classic gamer’s attention.  This Atari Punk Console keeps things pretty simple, but what it does, it does well.

If you’re not that familiar with the term Atari Punk Console or APC, these bad boys are analog noisemakers that feature sounds that will remind you of the classic Atari 2600 bleeps and bloops.  The box itself measures 6.5” long by 3” wide by 3” high.  The faceplate is aluminum and is chemically etched, while the outer part is made of untreated birch.  There’s an audio out jack for your headphones.  To keep it up and running all you’ll need is a single 9 volt battery.

What Not to Eat for a Good Night's Sleep




Combating insomnia through nutrition is about eating the right combination of foods in the evening, and - perhaps even more importantly - knowing what foods to avoid.
What not to eat/drink before bed:
  • Caffeine - It should be obvious, but you should avoid caffeinated drinks and foods - coffee, tea, many soft drinks, and chocolate - several hours before bed. Caffeine is a natural chemical that activates the central nervous system, which means that it revs up nerves and thought processes. For people who are sensitive to caffeine, that excitation is not pleasant, making them feel jittery and slightly ill. If you drink caffeinated drinks too close to bedtime, chances are it will keep you awake. Of course, what "too close" means is totally individual. Sensitive people should stop drinking caffeine at least eight hours before bedtime (that means by 3 p.m., if you hit the sack at 11 p.m.). You can play with your particular timing...just don't experiment on a night when you absolutely must get a good night's sleep.
  • Alcohol - Although many people use alcohol to help them relax before bed, the effects can wear off, so they wake up in the middle of the night. Over time, alcohol-induced sleep becomes less restful, so sleepiness will become a constant fact of life. I'm not saying you need to give up alcohol, but don't use it like a sleeping pill; and if you have insomnia, I strongly recommend omitting alcohol for a few weeks to see if your sleep problem resolves.
  • Large Meals - Eating a huge dinner, or even a large before-bedtime snack, may make you feel drowsy, but the sleep won't necessarily take. When you lie down and try to sleep, your digestion will slow down, make you feel uncomfortable, and possibly keep you awake. I recommend eating a dinner that has no more than 600 calories (and optimally at least three hours before bed).
