    Sleep Specialist Names Habits That Interfere with Falling Asleep

    Dr. Roman Buzunov, a sleep specialist, warns against several common habits that can hinder falling asleep. These include forcing oneself to sleep, using sleeping pills, and spending more time in bed. He suggests getting out of bed after 15 minutes of unsuccessful attempts and doing something boring until feeling sleepy. He also cautions against relying solely on medication for insomnia, as it can lead to dependency and exacerbate the issue.

    Trash Floods Santa Marta Bay After River Overflow

    Heavy rains caused the Manzanares River in Santa Marta to overflow, dragging tons of garbage and plastic waste into the city's bay. A video captured by Luis Guillermo Rodríguez shows the brown water mixing with the sea and transporting various types of waste, including bags, containers, and even mattresses. Environmentalists warn that this is a recurring problem, and preventive measures are needed to clean channels and ravines before the rainy season.
