So breathing through your nose while you're sleeping is actually optimal.

Nonetheless, like Monopoly, the optimal colonial strategy is "Claim everything you land on".

but we looked at if we could place them wherever we wanted, what would be the optimal set of locations.

And this location is optimal because it's within the South Pacific Gyre, a large system of rotating ocean currents that keeps this region fairly absent of oceanic life, in case anyone was concerned about any sea life.

We begin today in Utah, which this week became the first U.S. state to ban the use of fluoride in public water. Fluoride is a natural occurring mineral that can be found in soil, plants, and food in tiny amounts. And studies show that at optimal levels, it helps prevent tooth decay, helps prevent cavities. The U.S. has added it to public drinking water systems since the 1940s to improve dental health, and the practice is considered to be one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. But it's created some contratoms, with debate over adding fluoride to public water ramping up, and some states like Florida are following in Utah's footsteps to pass laws to ban it. Those in favor of banning fluoride in drinking water point to research that shows consumption of high levels of fluoride could cause adverse health effects in children, but exposure to levels that concentrated are rarely seen in the U.S. Proponents of the ban add that when it comes to fluoride improving dental health, evidence is mixed, and some studies find that our modern dental hygiene routines like brushing and flossing regularly have had more of an impact than fluoride in drinking water. Other advocates of the ban acknowledge that fluoride does have benefits, but people should have the individual choice to not have it added to their drinking water.

Trials were run for the optimal number of coils, angle of entry, curvature of the wood.

which may seem like an odd stat, but research over the years has found that sleeping between 7 to 9 hours is optimal or the goldilocks zone.

Mr. Lisson first goes over some principles of physics and then instructs the students that are still able to pay attention to design the optimal structure for a high tower.

That is not going to support heightened states of alertness and optimal attention, in fact, there's a by directional or reciprocal relationship between the brain stem areas that control alertness and the eyes.

And this one week interval really seemed to be the optimal timing to get the best bang for your buck in terms of repetition.
