Rules Americans Ditch On Vacation

Half (49%) of respondents intentionally avoid reading work emails when traveling and 59% skip normal to-dos, like working out and tidying up.
Two-thirds say they eat out for every single meal and 23% have dessert with every meal on a trip.
54% admit they rarely stick to a budget on a getaway, and 48% confess to using credit cards more than usual.
Nearly two-thirds (63%) believe that returning texts or calls is completely optional in non-emergency situations and 33% admit they ignore texts and emails altogether.
A big part of the vacation mindset is saying “yes” more often, as 82% say traveling is a time to embrace the extras, from dessert to new adventures.
“Treat yourself” is the top vacation motto for 41% who say it describes their approach to time off, while others relate to “Try everything once,” (18%) and “No alarms, no plans” (12%).
Favorite parts of traveling include sleeping in (42%), forgetting what day of the week it is (36%) and wearing comfy clothes 24/7 (30%).
And the best part? Nearly three-quarters (72%) say they don’t feel guilty at all about overindulging on vacation.

Gen Z Regrets
These are the trends that make the over 35 crowd yell “What are you guys thinking?!”

"Dubai chocolate. It is $$$, and maybe it's just me, but it does not look appealing to me at all."
"Giant pants. People are wearing jeans that could fit a family of three in each leg hole...why? They also often wear them with a t-shirt that's two sizes too small. It's so goofy looking!"
"In the past few years, I've noticed there is no shame anymore. It's 'cool' and 'funny' to make a fool of yourself for views. Stop pranking employees who are just trying to work, stop making a mess at Walmart to be funny, stop singing and dancing in public while filming yourself, etc. I refuse to watch any creator that pulls that sh*t."
"Labubus. They're just Beanie Babies."
"Mullets. Like, I get the irony standpoint, but no, they're genuinely fashionable and attractive right now, and that confounds the hell out of me."

These Sleep Hacks Sound A Bit Wild, But People Swear They Work
Redditors are here to help share their best sleep hacks. Some may sound weird, but they supposedly work!

"Relax your toes, relax your ankles, follow all body parts...By the time you reach your forehead you’re asleep."
"Reading something boring. The minute I start, I fall asleep. Also having a cold room."
"World building! I like to just imagine the same fantasy world of my own every night. I go over every little detail until I fall asleep! It works wonders — you just keep making new rules or places!"
"I listen to something boring! On Spotify, there is a podcast called ‘I Can't Sleep’. It's a guy who reads Wikipedia pages on various topics. His voice is quite relaxing and puts me out every time. 10/10 Highly recommend!"
"I use a red color filter on my phone screen (if I do scroll before bed)."
"Do a pose called legs up the wall. It's exactly how it sounds, but Google it if you're not familiar. Try 5-10 minutes. It'll reset your nervous system and help make ya sleepy."
"Straw breathing works wonderfully for me. 10 breaths with a very slow exhale is good. Yoga nidra works as well."
"I take a piece of paper and write the word sleep over and over, usually about a half page. If you wanna try it, just take your time, and if it turns into other writings, just let it flow...and hopefully it's calming to your mind."

Second Date Update
Rosa called us about Miguel. They matched on Hinge and went out for dinner in Walnut Creek. Rosa said they split calamari, ordered pasta, and lingered over dessert because the conversation was going so well. She thought Miguel was funny and attentive, and she couldn’t figure out why he ghosted.
