warned he was ready to resume bombing. President Trump announced the extension on social media saying that he had received a request from Pakistan to hold off on a resumption of the attacks. The U.S. stands facilitating the talks. Trump wrote, quote, "I have therefore directed our military to continue to block aid and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded one way or the other."

And Pierce Maria Gadoi has more. In the steady researchers looked at data from more than 1,300 adults who were followed for up to 19 years. Participants were 81 years old on average. Their Napping activity was tracked with wearable devices. The study found that Napping in the morning and taking longer, more frequent Naps were linked to a higher risk of dying in older adults.
The researchers note that while brief Naps can help improve alertness and alleviate fatigue, excessive Napping later in life has previously been linked to poor health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease and neurodegeneration. The researchers say the findings suggest tracking Napping patterns in older adults could be a clinically useful way to spot health problems early on.
