A recent survey, i was surprised by this, said only 19 of adults dont get enough sleep. 19 . Me too. Right here. And Technology May be part of the reason so lets go over to george who has more on this. Yeah, robin, the problem may be the blue light. Im here with rich besser because apple is testing a new feature called light shift that changes it from blue to yellow. It can affect sleep. In primitive days we were governed by the sun. When the sun went down hormone in our braiai called melatonin went up and that made us sleepy. Now were vouped by aificial light and plea vents that from rising and in particular, one component of light, blue light is really good at suppressing that melatonin rise and our Electronic Devices put out a ton of blue light. Apple has this idea to move from blue to yellow. Will it make a big difference. The time and that makes up a big component of blue light, maybe it could make a difference but we get it from all the lights around our home, compact, fluorescent bulbs, l. E. D. Bulbs put out a ton of light. There are these orange glasses that will filter out all the blue light. Its the bono look. I dont think id like to watch my shows this way but they do all kinds of things to cut down on that. What other kinds of things. In addition to orange glass, different apps can you get for your phone whether its android or apple that will slowly decrease the amount of light that comes out of there. In terms of sleep its not just about that. You need to look at trying to get a routine in before bed so youre easing into your sleep. You want to look at avoiding stimulant, no caffeine after the middle of the day. Make your bedroom dark. If your clock puts out anything other than a red light put a color off the clock and separate yourself from electronics at least two hours before going to bed. Good luck with that but its the right idea. Its hard to do. Rich besser, thanks very much. Over to amy. I wonder what seeing a lot of green will do for you because a lot of people are waking up millionaires this morning including those three lucky winners who struck the jackpot in last nights powerball. Their lives are about to change. We heard some Horror Stories about winners ending up broke buthere are incredible Success Stories and t. J. Holmes is here with that. Hey, t. J. Yeah, this is the cash weve been showing this morning. What 1. 5 billion generally would look like in cash. Hard to think somebody could burn through all this money but there are some statistics out there that would tell you that 7 70 of jackpot winners lose it all within five years but success ststy, people find a way to hold on to their cash by finding a way to give it away. Sure, we all dream about holding that billion dollar Winning Ticket. Some of us might do things like this. Hotel suite in north america. The time fourer penthouse with your own butler and rollsroyce but that could make your money disappear fast. The secrets of success, save and enrich the lives of others. Like the loci family from des moines, iowa. This couple used a portion of their 202 million jackpot to build a new Athletic Field at their local high school . We wanted to benefit our community and our church. Reporter and knoxvilles 59yearold roy cocram who donated it to theater and charity organizations.

Do i still play it . Yes, im going to take my chance and see will Lightning Strike twice . Its hard to imagine someone going through this much money. We havent given this number. Let me give you a little math. These three winners will end up splitting about 990 million in cash. The lump sum. After taxes for each of them, theyre going to take home about 200 million. Hopefully they dont burn through this any time soon. This man won a 207 million jackpot and you were watching this remembering. Reliving what that was like for you seven years ago.

And you had a situation where some coworkers claimed that they should have also been a part of that pool. That had to be an incredibly difficult situation right when youre celebrating now youre dealing with a lawsuit. Yes, it was kind of odd.

Im happy to report this morning that hold on you guys, i have some stats there. Thank you. How about we stick together. Okay, so this Science Group studied two groups, one from 18 to 43.

Both groups reported that happiness levels rose into their 30s and continued to go up into their 40s. I believe that. And that, they say, is Proof Positive that these sort of like rash acts really have nothing to do with a midlife crisis. Of course, Life Satisfaction is associated with good physical health, so, as george knows an apple a day keeps the surprise lamborghini away. Surprise lamborghini. Okay.

We are back now with jess and chris, what jumps out to you right away, chris . No star wars or Straight Outta Compton. Particularly Straight Outta Compton, i was surprised. Star wars weirdly because success is sometimes a liability with the oscars, its become the oscars underdog but a lot of people were hoping, obviously, nobody at abc and disney, star wars is nominated but i would like it to be nominated. Five nominations for star wars all around, 12 for the revenant, that leads the way. Tom hardy getting a supporting actor nomination is a bit of a surprise in the place of someone like michael compete on, Jacob Tremblay for room, nothing for carol or Straight Outta Compton or star wars. Cate blanchett, best actress. Cate and rooney mara its loaded. Best actor is going to be a good show to watch. A lot for mad max. George miller. He gets a best director nomination too. The surprise there is ridley scott not getting nominated. Exactly. For the martian. He got a lot of love. Did well. Anything jump out. Brie larson is a lock. I think Leonardo Dicaprio is a lock. I think they can prepare to dance at the governors ball right now. Do you think this is the year for leo. This is absolutely his year. The funny think i think ridley scott was the other one basically getting a Lifetime Achievement award like leo is this year. What about Sylvester Stallone . Oh. Love that. You know, just for a moment there you wonder if Harrison Ford was going to get nominated too. Same sort of role but, yeah, big night for stallone thats the toughest category to predict, best supporting actor because stallone has not gotten the previous indicators like azags. A. G. Nomination. Did get a golden globe. You always look at s. A. G. And stuff. Punchers chance, this could be his year. Can i ask about spotlight got a lot of nominations. And Michael Keaton so wonderful in that film. Are you surprised he didnt get recognized. I am a little surprised. I think it was tough. So many were going up in the supporting categories. I think maybe he could have gone for best arc and had a shot but decided to go supporting. They all split the vote. And jennifer lawrence. Yeah, she did it again. J. Law. Cannot be stopped. Coming up, more about the nominations. Brie larson, shes going to back. Its interesting. Easing us back in with the music music the morning of the Oscar Nominations. Spreading the wealth all around to a bunch of different movies you see any possibility that one movie runs the table . I think the revenant would be your bet. The cinematographer is likely to be a threetime consecutive winner and could be a big night for the revenant. What about director . I think i think inarritu is your best choice right now but could go in a number of different directions. Should be pointed out its a whitewash in the acting category, 20 nominations. That is interesting and one of the nominees on the phone right now, brie larson for room. Congratulation, how are you feeling this morning . Thank you. Im shaking right now. Im really confused. Ah, what a week youre having, you won the golden globe on sunday and what a performance, i have to say, such a powerful performance. Great to have you here last week. So did you wait up all night for the call or get woken up by that phone . Oh, i stayed up. Im in australia right now, so i just got off work in time to bit of dinner and then watch the nominations come out. Such an incredible performance you gave and because so much of it happened in that confined space, every gesture you made mattered. Yeah, exactly. It was a film that took a lot of research and a lot of time. I spent eight months preparing for it so that the movie could look like it was effortless. Your work goes back to 13 going on 30 i think, brie from way back when. What is this moment like. Something you dreamed of your entire life im sure being an oscar nominee. I mean, its the highest form of flattery in my field. Its unbelievable and the nominations mean so much because it comes from your peers. It comes from fellow actors. I was homeschooled and i never really felt like i was part of any group. To be included with people that i respected so much since i was a kid is just absolutely Lenny Abrahamson, getting nominated. The director of room. Tell us what he was like to work with. Hes just an inspiration. I could not have done this without him. He is the most compassionate and care of any director ive worked with. Im so incredibly happy for him. I think he deserves it so much. The film is what it is because of him, because of his skill, because of his humanity, his understanding, his depth, his love and i think this is such a welldeserved nomination. Hey, brie, who is the first person you call when you hang up with us . Yeah, exactly. Probably my mom. Yay good answer. Well, congratulations and enjoy the day, enjoy everything. You deserve everything youre going to get coming up. Thanks so much. I look forward to hugging you all soon. Oh. Sweet. Thats nice. Thats where shell be.
