Maybe you sleep in a nightgown, or an ex’s ragged T-shirt or a la odalisque. (Nude, with an ostrich feather covering your sensitive bits.) But you can still add pajamas into the mix. They will help signal to you mentally that you’re beginning to wind down for the night, even if you aren’t doing any of that other stuff you’re supposed to do before bed, such as not looking at your phone, abstaining from alcohol and caffeine, or avoiding staring at social media, wondering why your dog isn’t as cute as your ex’s dog.
Put them on after dinner, or even after work, to announce to yourself and your loved ones that you’re really off the clock. (This is the kind of thing a butler or valet might do, but a pair of pajamas is much more cost-effective and machine-washable.)
Libraries don’t just lend books. They are true community spaces with free events, classes and access to the equipment of modern life. Streaming platforms (Kanopy, Hoopla) are common. Some libraries have maker spaces (3D printers, crafting tools). For families, they’re lifelines. Need something to occupy your kids? Check out story time. Tired of paying to work in a loud coffee shop? Libraries offer peace and quiet — and usually let you sip your coffee in a closed container. Check out your local library’s website or the Libby app.

Regarding the June 30 Health & Science article “The warning that you should delay swimming after eating holds no water”:
My friends and I figured out the reason behind the myth of having to wait 30 minutes after eating before swimming when we were kids in the 1960s. After feeding us, our parents needed a break to feed themselves and have a smoke before going back on duty watching us. – Brian Peterkin-Vertanesian, Hyattsville
