    I have been in a lot better mood since I started sleeping more! I have to wake up early for work and getting more sleep has really benefited me.

    I have bought a couple of great reusable bottles that actually hold ice a lot better than a plastic bottle. It keeps my drinks during work and class cold! I will be making a permanent change.
