Whether you just sleep in your bed or use it for work and leisure, you’ll want a quality mattress. This is especially true if you’ve experienced back pain in the past or currently suffer from it. But finding the right mattress is much easier said than done because mattresses are a big investment. It’s tough to know whether a mattress will bring comfort or pain until you’ve tried it out for a while. Thankfully, we’ve done the work for you and tested them. We also spoke to experts on what to look for: physiatrist Dr. Nnaemeka Echebiri from the Hospital for Special Surgery and physical therapist Dr. Danielle Weis, who owns Wise Orthopedic Physical Therapy in Brooklyn Heights. Both frequently work with patients who experience back, joint, and neck pain, so they were able to talk to us about qualities to look for when mattress shopping.

Two things you need to know about me: I have no green thumb, and I’m a Brooklynite with limited outdoor space. Even so, I’ve always loved the idea of having a garden. While I know next to nothing about plants, I do love messing around in healthy, well aerated soil. So when I moved into an apartment with a deck that got tons of sunlight outside on the deck in the summer, I knew I wanted to try to grow a few plants.

I sometimes respond to dissatisfaction with an impulse to buy things. Most recently as I was setting up my new home, I was tweaking things in our family room and tried to solve my sense that the space wasn’t quite right by buying more than one vaseful of artificial flowers. Yes, I shudder to think of that now.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
