So here's something that’ll keep you up tonight—turns out nightmares might be killing us. Literally. A new study out of England found that if you're having nightmares once a week or more, you're three times more likely to die before 70. THREE. TIMES.

Well, well, well. My brain was right all along. According to a new study, working 50+ hours a week literally breaks your brain. Not metaphorically. Not in a “ugh, I’m so tired” kind of way.

Do you put ketchup on your eggs? Do people look at you like you’ve just committed a crime against breakfast? Well, friends, our long, condiment-shamed nightmare might be over. Heinz—bless their tomatoey little hearts—is finally stepping in to normalize the ketchup-on-eggs lifestyle. That’s right. They’re rebranding bottles at 100 Waffle Houses around the country to say “Breakfast Ketchup.” And honestly? It's about time. Heinz says one in four people already use ketchup at breakfast.
