What Is Sleepiness? Sleepiness is the desire to fall asleep. It is sometimes referred to as drowsiness and typically increases the longer we stay awake. To understand what is really meant by sleepiness, consider this extreme example: Imagine that you didn’t sleep enough over the last several nights and you then had a delicious lunch with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and plenty of alcohol. It’s now two in the afternoon and you’re sitting comfortably in a big soft chair in a room that’s too warm....

In a video on Twitter from reporter Jeff Lightsy Jr., Sanders said he appreciated the teams that came to watch the student-athletes from the three HBCU schools, but said there are “32 teams in this Crayola box.” He said the Dolphins, Broncos, Texans, Bills, Buccaneers, Ravens, Panthers, Browns, Vikings and Eagles were not in attendance. “Where art thou? You could’ve sent somebody man. You could’ve shown up just a little bit,” Sanders said....

That’s not to say there aren’t exceptions: coastal communities in the Carolinas and Virginia, as well as in counties stretching through the midsections of Georgia and Alabama, saw an uptick in their white populations. But overall, the numbers show the white population is losing its majority foothold in the U.S. The latest census is one of the most consequential in census history as it could decide who gains control of the U....

Newsweek spoke to two celebrity chefs to get their opinions on how to answer that question. Each shared their top tips on how to make this Thanksgiving extra sweet for your friends and family this year with minimal stress.

On May 2, Greene published a tweet that read, “Democrat policies are destructive and #AmericaLast. Dem shutdowns killed 100’s of thousands of small businesses. Dem open borders grow cartel business to $400 million per month. And Democrat funded BLM/Antifa riots have cost BILLIONS in damage. Democrats are the enemy within.” Greene didn’t provide sources for any of her claims. In response, Gallego wrote, “I was trying to figure what type of pen to stab your friends with if they overran us on the floor of the House of Representatives while trying to conduct a democratic transition of power....

The masks were procured by the Indian Health Service (IHS) under a $3 million contract with a company started by Trump administration former Deputy Chief of Staff Zach Fuentes. Fuentes formed his company less than two weeks before the contract was granted. Under the contract, Fuentes’ company was to supply 1 million masks for tribal hospitals. According to information from IHS given to ProPublica, 247,000 masks may be unsuitable for usage by health care providers....

He's had brushes with other players, analysts and even his own coach. So color me unsurprised by Cousins' antics after his Sacramento Kings were defeated, 103-102, by the Los Angeles Clippers. Cousins, who played well in the game—23 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists—pulled Isaiah Thomas away from Clippers guard Chris Paul just as the two started the shake hands after the final bell sounded. Paul had no hard feelings after the game, understanding Cousins' disposition for being a generally unfriendly guy....

MORE: NBA Draft grades: Um, yeah, Kings Cousins, who reported for Team USA duty Monday, took a swipe at the Kings’ front office for, among other things, trading up to take yet another big man, Georgios Papagiannis, in the first round rather than addressing other areas. Sacramento already has three NBA centers: Cousins, Willie Cauley-Stein and Kostas Koufos. Boogie has little filter in the best of times; draft night was not a good time for him....

The 20-year-old was ruled out for up to a month when he suffered a hamstring injury in mid-January, similar to the one that saw him sidelined for four months shortly after his €105 million summer move from Borussia Dortmund. Dembele participated in training with his team-mates ahead of Sunday’s derby against Espanyol, but he will not be available for the Liga clash as he soon returned to individual work....

The 30-year-old has remained loyal to the north London side since 2012 but, as he enters the final year of his contract, is considering a move away from White Hart Lane. A wealth of potential suitors have emerged for the experienced midfielder, including clubs in the United States and China, but Dembele has stated he will not consider an approach from another side within English football. Dubbing Tottenham as ‘my club’, Dembele revealed he has already held discussions with some of his international colleagues regarding potential destinations....

Although first appearing in Barney & Friends as a child, Lovato’s rose to fame predominately came after she appeared in Sonny with a Chance and Camp Rock with the Jonas Brothers. Over the years, Lovato has battled an eating disorder and addiction, which she sang about in the song “Sober.” Through the song’s lyrics, Lovato apologized to her fans for relapsing, but for many of her fans, her resilience and ability to continually overcome adversity is what makes her an inspiration....

The song’s music video shows some obvious references to monumental moments in Lovato’s life, including a reference that seems to point to her overdose. In the video, Lovato walks past an ambulance and a woman on a stretcher. As she walks past, she rests her hand on the woman, seemingly to say anyone in that position can learn to love themselves again. In speaking of her overdose for the first time on the Ellen DeGeneres show Thursday, Lovato made a similar point....

As of this writing, Beshear won the race with 49.2 percent of the vote, with incumbent Bevin receiving 48.8 percent of the vote. Beshear’s father, Steve Beshear, was Kentucky’s governor until 2015. Some believe Andy Beshear was able to capitalize on the popular family name to gain votes. According to WLWT, Beshear ran on a platform of a better education system, legalized gambling in casinos and continued access to health care....

Because the Senate is evenly divided between Democrat and Republicans, his absence created a 49-50 split, with Republicans having a majority. If out of the Senate long enough, his vacancy could threaten Biden’s Supreme Court nominee. On Twitter, the senator posted a video to update everyone on his condition where he said he expects to make a full recovery. “I’m going to walk out of here, I’m going to beat this, and I’m going to be stronger once I come out,” he said....

Bryant, who was 16 years old, was killed by officer Nicholas Reardon outside her home on Tuesday afternoon. Body camera footage released by police appear to show Bryant lunging at multiple individuals while holding a knife before she was fatally shot by Reardon. The officer fired his gun several times as Bryant struggled with another girl against a car. “When I served as a police chief, what I prayed for daily, was that my police officers would respond as they are trained to do,” Demings told CBS News’ Face the Nation in a Sunday interview....

“The V.P. is good on style, but, on substance, give me an African American woman on the Supreme Court,” House Majority Whip James Clyburn said during a segment on PBS News Hour. “That’s where we determine how our democracy will be preserved.” The South Carolina Democrat has maintained that Biden picking a Black woman as his running mate would be a “plus” not a “must,” saying it was a bit “foolhardy” to be focusing solely on the Democratic Party’s choice for vice president....

Former Vice President Joe Biden came out on top in the survey with 30 percent support among so-called “climate voters” who believe climate change plans are “very important.” He was followed by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren at 21 percent, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at 20 percent, California Senator Kamala Harris at 7 percent, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 6 percent and former Texas Representative Beto O’Rourke, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 4 percent or less....

Feinstein has faced heavy criticism, with some calling for her to retire in recent days. Ilyse Hogue, president of abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America, was the latest to slam the senator. On Friday, she called for Feinstein be replaced on the committee. “This nomination is illegitimate and this process is a sham,” Hogue said in a statement. “Tens of millions of Americans have already voted and majorities have said unequivocally that they want to choose the next President who should fill this seat....

Johnson announced in January that he would seek a third Senate term despite previously pledging not to serve more than two terms. Meanwhile, recent polls show that more Wisconsin voters view the senator unfavorably than those who view him favorably. President Joe Biden won the swing state in the 2020 presidential election after Democrats flipped the governor’s mansion blue for Tony Evers in 2018. It’s still unclear which Democrat will face off against Johnson on November 8....
