Miranda to Ferdinand in “The Tempest,” by William Shakespeare
There’s something special about finding true love on an island. Here are the stories of four Island couples whose love was kindled on Shelter Island. Some required more kindling than others, but all have stood the test of time.
Pat and Steve Lenox,together for 52 years

Researchers looked at over 23,000 adults in Germany, collecting data on their weekly frequency of resistance exercise and sleep quality. They found that any muscle-strengthening done during a typical week was associated with a reduced prevalence of sleep rated as “poor” or “very poor.” These associations remained after adjusting for other factors like high body mass index, chronic disease, age, and smoking.
Also, there was no evidence of a dose-dependent relationship, which means more was not necessarily better. Those who did resistance training just once a week had a similar, favorable association in sleep quality to those who did this type of training more often, even those who strength-trained five times a week.

This is because strength training creates a molecule called adenosine, which tends to cause drowsiness.
Additionally, exercise in general tends to help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, which can make it easier to fall and stay asleep.
It’s all too easy easy to get stuck in a cycle of not being able to fall asleep at night or struggling to stay asleep and then feeling groggy the next morning. In fact, 1 in 4 Americans experience insomnia each year and 70 million Americans suffer from some sort of sleep disorder. So, if you’re struggling with sleep issues, you’re definitely not alone.
