Music training narrows the achievement gap
Then he discovered 51Oakland music classes and his place at a drum set. \"I started going to my music teacher's really early, before school, to get on the drums, play my music,\" [LeRoy Crosby] says. \"She saw how dedicated I was.\" \"That's incredible,\" [Dylan Tatz] notes. \"These kids have older brothers. 'I could hang out with him -- but, no, I have music today, and I don't want to miss music. I'll go to school.' \" Leah Lader, Music4Schools program manager, cites students having a \"much stronger drive\" to be in school and showing improved language acquisition, attention span and work ethic, through practicing. \"Are you going to get it the first time? No,\" she says. \"Learning an instrument (students) discover incremental learning.\"

LIGHTS OUT
Even extremely brief flashes of bright light -- we're talking two milliseconds -- at night not only enhance our alertness, but shift our circadian rhythm and alter our hormones, according to a 2011 study led by Jamie Zeitzer, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. \"All of us find it difficult to wind down if we are also engaging with others,\" says Allison Harvey, a professor of psychology and director of the Golden Bear Sleep and Mood Research Clinic at UC Berkeley, but, she adds, \"some interactions can cause stress,\" including interpersonal conflicts and pressure from friends to stay up late to text or instant message.

Why it's smart to keep electronic devices out of the bedroom
\"It's very well-proven: Bright screens at night can shift your circadian rhythm by hours,\" says Dr. Emmanuel J. Mignot, a physician and a professor of sleep medicine at Stanford School of Medicine. \"Physiologically, it makes sense. We're not that different than animals. We synchronize our circadian rhythm to light, and light has a profound effect.\" \"We say 'turn off all technology a few hours before bedtime,' \" [Melissa Lim] says. \"But you want to ask 'Is it harmful?' Technology that is passive -- such as a relaxing TV program or music -- can distract you from your daily problems, which helps set up sleep.\" \"I know I'm very controlling, but I think it's important to place limits,\" [Betsy Ortiz] says. \"I see lots of parents with no real boundaries who want to be sure that their kid isn't left out because he or she doesn't have the latest, greatest iTouch. ... Both of my kids are voracious readers, and I chalk that up at least in part to (our rules about) computer time.\"

Does outdoor play make kids smarter?
A growing body of research, however, suggests that outdoor play offers such a positive bump in brain power, it should perhaps be a priority. At home, children are sidelined by everything from unsafe neighborhoods to homeowner association and city ordinances banning skateboards and basketball nets.

Does outdoor play make kids smarter?
Indeed, self-direction may be key to the power of outdoor play for all children, says Joanne Finn, school psychologist for the Mt. Diablo Unified School District in Contra Costa County. \"Outdoor spaces give kids more choices for creative play. Indoors, there are only a finite number of things a kid can do,\" says Finn, who has a daughter, 12. But outdoors, she says, when kids are self-directed \"they're not going to do something rote -- they're going to want to problem-solve: gather materials for a fort, play hide-and-seek, explore new spaces. There's an enthusiasm there. And when they're excited, learning is heightened.\" Kids can get bored outdoors without the \"instant gratification of the screen, particularly in circumstances they haven't yet explored,\" Finn says. Parents can give them ideas, but boredom allows the child \"time to organize themselves and figure out what interests them,\" Finn says. This kind of problem-solving hones executive thinking, she adds. \"If a parent circumvents that process, they'll never figure that out.\" \"I always say to them on Friday, 'You have the choice to take something from here and bring it into your life at home. What will it be?' \" says [Amelia Rosenman]. \"And sometimes, not always, but sometimes they say 'playing outside!' \"

New Year's Resolutions: Tips from science to make them stick
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, achieving success using such good old-fashioned methods as will power, the buddy system or just plain white-knuckling it is like setting out on a journey in a 1959 Cadillac. In doing so, he not only pressurizes his abdomen and stabilizes his spine, but his brain is triggering systems in his body to emulate the conditions of that earlier successful lift: shifting his balance to match the stance, aligning his skeleton into the \"success\" posture, even shunting more blood to the muscles used, Lardon says.
