Here’s something you probably didn’t know you were doing wrong: getting a good night’s sleep.
According to a poll conducted earlier this year, more than 75 percent of Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should, meaning more of us than ever before are spending our days tired, spaced out, and not nearly as productive as we could be due to lost hours that should have been spent slumbering in the sack.

By this point, the act of plugging your phone in for a charge at night is about as mundane as brushing your teeth or showering… but what would you do if nothing came out the other side of the outlet?

If you use your iPhone to manage multiple address books from work, school, or your personal life at once, you’ve probably run into the problem of duplicate contacts before.
Oftentimes when third-party applications like Facebook, Gmail, or Outlook attempt to import contact details into your phone, if there’s even a slight difference between the information one service has and what’s already stored locally on your device, the whole system goes haywire, and you can end up with a handful of contact pages that all belong to the same friend or colleague from the office.
