Hinkletown Mennonite Church is hosting their annual Summer Bible Adventure! This year it will be held Sunday, July 21 through Thursday, July 25. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. and will conclude at 8:00 p.m. The church is
located at 2031 Division Highway, Ephrata. There will be classes for threeyear olds through adults. Their theme for ages prekindergarden through sixth grade is, “The Great Jungle Journey: An epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation.” The kids will explore the biblical answers to: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the
Bible? All this while they sail along on a fun jungle cruise amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins and dart frogs. They will stop at the ports of the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape the world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday lives.
The Jr. Youth (grades seventh and eighth) will have their own classes with games, teaching and snacks.

(Originally published in the May 13, 1987 issue of The Shopping News) BELLE
By Ed Weber
En hunnert un meh Yaahre zerick, Wu Leckdrick net so bekannt waar, Hot mir sich meh verlosse uff Belle, Fer sich halde aus Unglick un Gfaahr.
Yaahre zerick uff en Sunndaagmariye Waar die Karichebelle am ringe
Darich’s Daal un iwwer die Bariye: Kumm fer die Breddich, Bede un Singe.
Darich die Woch aa dann un wann, Wann ebber schtarewe waar, Dutt die Bell ihre Elt abtohleEemol fer yedes Yaahr.
Die Schulbell waar aa notwennich, Halwer acht die erscht Bell is die Ruhl:
No weescht wie schtarick zu laafe. Die zwett Bell am acht UhrAafangt die Schul.
En gleene Bell uff em Schulmeschder sei Desk, Wann er Addning halde will.
En Tae uff selle glee Bell Meent nau bletzlich sei schtill.
Mir sin noch Reddin an der Marick:
Es Feierhaus waar uff em naemliche Block. Owwe druff waar die Feierbell, Die hoscht gheert iwwer die ganz Schtadt.
Daheem uff die alt Bauerei
Am bluge mit Geil im Feld, Do waar keh besserer Schall; As die gut alt Essebell.
Em Handgaul sei Naame waar Prince: Wann er die Bell gheert hot, hot er sich gfreet. Sei Maul geht hinnewedder uff, So laut das er kann, hot er geneht.
Der Schepphund fangt aa zu yohle, Die Katze kumme bei zu schpringe. Sis alles so froh un harrlich, Wann die Essebell fangt aa zu ringe.
No sin Belle fer Trolley un Train: Wann der Inschein an die Crossing kummt, Du besser bleibscht aus em Weg, Schunscht wascht gedichdich gebummt.
Wann faahrscht mit Gaul un Wagge Uff en rauher Graewwelschtrooss, Des rabbelt un glebbert wie alles: Du meenscht der Beddel kummt los.
Awwer Schliddefaahre im Winder, Die Schtrooss gedeckt mit Schnee, Un Schliddebelle uff die Geil Is Myusick sanderbaarlich schee.
No gebt’s Belle fer dich aus em Bett heisde, Un Belle fer die Dier inschtatts globbe, Un Belle fer die Uhr die Zeit zu schlagge, Un Kiehbelle wann ihre Hanner net bloosse!
Duhn sie Belle ringe im Himmel, Wann mir unser Hatz zu Gott gewwe? Drehe unser Buckel zum Deiwel sei Schimmel Un duhn uffrechdich un gedrei lewe.
Ya, no sin die Engel harrlich Un die goldene Belle ringe, Wann Yesus saagt: Die Zeit is do Fer die Kinner heem zu bringe.
BELLS
100 and more years ago, When electricity was not well known, You could depend more on bells, To keep from misfortune and danger. Years ago on a Sunday morning Church bells would be ringing Through the valley and over hills: Come for the sermon, prayer and sining.
February 1987
We went to the Reading market; The fire house was on the same block. On top was the fire bell, You heard it all over the city.
At home on the old farm Plowing with horses in the field, There was no better sound: Than that of the good old dinner bell. The lead horse’s name was Prince: When he heard the bell, he rejoiced. His mouth went open wide, As loud as he could he neighed.
The shepherd dog started to howl, The cats came running also. Everyone was happy and glad, When the dinner bell began to ring.
There are bells for trolley and train: When the engine approaches the crossing, You’d better stay out of the way, Or you’ll get a terrible bump.
When you drive with horse and buggy
On a rough gravel road, It rattles and shakes like the dickens: You think all is falling apart.
But a sleigh ride in winter, The road covered with snow, And sleigh bells on the horses Is music especially lovely.
Then there are bells which get you from bed, And bells for the doors instead of knocking, And bells for the clock to strike, And cow bells if their horns don’t blow.
Do they ring the bells in heaven, When we give our hearts to God?
Turn our backs to the devil And live an honest and upright life.
Yes, the angels are happy And the golden bells will ring, When Jesus says: The time has come To bring his children home. ***
Through the week also now and then, When someone had died, The bell would toll the yearsOne toll for each year.
The school bell was also necessary, 7:30 the first bell was the rule: Then you knew how fast to walk. The second bell at 8 O’clockThen the school is called.
A small bell on the teacher’s desk, If he wants to have order. One tap on that tiny bell Means: be still immediately.
Last week, we printed a recent poem from the pen of DER ALT WEISSKOPP, Ed Weber. In this ECK, we listen to all the lovely bells of past present. But we don’t hear as many bells as we used to. It reminds one of the fact that when the Communists took over political control of Russia, the church and monastery bells were silenced. What a loss! When we were in Russia, however, we were able to purchase a recording of some of the old bells. How majestic they were! Many of them were much larger than the church bells we have been accustomed to hearing in rural America.
For those of our readers who have never heard DER ALT WEISSKOPP sing our old Dutch (and German) songs, we should mention that Ed is a gifted singer, hence very musical. This would account for the fact that his ear is in tune with the sounds of nature. Gifted poets such as DER ALT WEISSKOPP have good eyes and good ears.
For those of our readers who would like to keep in direct touch with DER ALT WEISSKOPP, his present address is: Ed Weber, Landis Homes, Route 3, Lititz, PA 17543. Write him and tell him how much you enjoy his poems, then he’s sure to fire up his Dutch furnace and send us a few more!!!

Leilani Eberhart
Leilani Eberhart, 81, of Denver, peacefully passed away on June 5, 2024, in the comfort of her home with family by her side. She was born in Ephrata to the late Richard (“Tommy”) Leisey and Mabel Annabel (Hackman) Leisey. “Loni,” as she was affectionately known to family and friends, attended Ephrata School District through 7th grade and graduated from the Conestoga Valley School District. She also took classes at Franklin and Marshall College during her employment there.
Loni lived in both Akron and Ephrata before settling in Denver with her late husband, youngest daughter, son-in-law, and their children. Throughout her life, Loni worked in office administration/accounting for Reidenbaugh Electric, Franklin and Marshall College, Lanco Knitwear, Ephrata Community Hospital and Bareville Garment.
Loni was a pragmatic and forthright woman who approached the world head on. These traits served her well while raising three children as a single mother in the early 1970s. To her family, Loni was an unstoppable force of nature in her roles as fierce advocate and provider for her children, head cheerleader for grandchildren and dedicated wife to her husband James (Jim) Eberhart, Sr. who predeceased her in April of 2011 after 33 years of marriage. She was the family matriarch, and her absence leaves a pronounced void. Her family takes solace knowing that their Mom and
of Blitz at family gatherings. And if there is a casino in the next life, rest assured that she will be sitting at the slots. (Mom, when we meet up again, we promise to deliver the $400 you won during your final and successful visit back in February!)
Grandma is reunited with the love of her life.
Loni found joy in simple pastimes with Jim, her family and close friends. She and Jim were known to frequent the old Milestone Restaurant and Truck Stop in Ephrata before venturing out for weekend antiquing. They spent many nights together in mixed bowling leagues and on Saturday nights you might find them playing bingo somewhere in Lancaster or Berks County.
Loni enjoyed a good game of cards, whether poker night with her sister-in-law or pinochle with her best friend. Her joyous laughter filled the room during raucous games
After her retirement, Loni looked forward to lunch visits with friends and former coworkers.
She was also skilled in the kitchen and delighted her family with Lancaster County comfort foods, especially the special-recipe bread filling for the holidays. Her goodnatured teasing about the crab-picking skills (lack thereof) of kids and grandkids will be missed at the annual summertime crab fest by the pool. There will be an emptiness at Christmas without her traditional gift of unique glass ornaments to each family member.
Loni is survived by her three children: Brent C. Werner, husband of Debra Francis-Werner; Kerri Cassel, wife of Jeffory; and Tracy Roseberry, wife of William; as well as a stepson, two stepdaughters, seven grandchildren, and three greatgrandchildren, with one more on the way. To honor Loni’s wishes, services will be private and at the convenience of the family.

Mortal Man by Pastor Kevin Sadler
There is a tendency in our human nature to go to extremes, and some give extreme devotion to a spiritual leader. There can be a belief in the inerrancy of the one they choose to follow. If there is any
unsound doctrine in their teaching and beliefs, it is often swept under the rug because of loyalty to a man rather than the Word.
“For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?” (1 Cor. 3:4).
As the Corinthians did, we still find members of the Body of Christ championing one spiritual leader over another. This produces division and contention in the Church (1 Cor. 1:1012). It’s important for us to remember that no matter how effective or eloquent a Bible teacher is, he is only human; he makes mistakes, and he has shortcomings and weaknesses. We need always to be Berean in what is taught from God’s Word (Acts 17:11), including what is taught by those we trust.
“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?” (1 Cor. 3:5).
Preachers and teachers of the Word are “ministers” or servants to bring people to Christ and establish them in the faith. It’s unwise to raise servants to the rank of master. While we should “esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake” (1 Thes. 5:13), our devotion belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. If we follow a mortal man, we are headed for disappointment. But we will never be disappointed when we keep our eyes on the Lord.
On the other side of the coin, sin, selfishness, and pride can lead some pastors and teachers to desire a following, accept adoration, and set themselves up as the authority on the Scriptures. We should watch for this kind of attitude among spiritual leaders. The true shepherd is someone who points people, not to himself, but to the Lord, “that in all things He might have the preeminence” (Col. 1:18). Godly leaders desire God’s people to
follow Christ, His Word, and sound doctrine.
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase” (1 Cor. 3:6-7).
Paul shows why we should never glory in a man in the ministry. He teaches that the servant who plants the seeds of the gospel is nothing. Likewise, the servant who waters the seeds of the gospel is nothing. Man does not have the power to bring forth spiritual life or fruit. “But God,” the God Who gives the increase, the life, and the fruit in the ministry, He is everything. Thus, our focus should not be on following this leader or that man. In the Church, we should be one in our desire to follow the Lord and to give the God of the increase the honor and glory He rightly deserves.
“Therefore let no man glory in men” (1 Cor. 3:21a).

Buying
time, searching for furniture can be a tad overwhelming, especially when homeowners do not know where to begin.
Statistics Canada reports that Canadians spend an average of $934 on furniture each year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that, in 2017, Americans spent an average of $2,484 on furniture. While furniture may not be the most costly investment, it’s also not the cheapest, which is why getting it right is important.
Then you can gear purchases around desired features. For example, if you’ve deter
mined chenille fabric holds on to too much pet fur, the next couch may be leather or microfiber.
Measure More Than Once
Measure your room multiple times and create a mock floor plan. This will help when figuring out if certain pieces can fit into the space. Some retailers even offer floor plan software on their websites so that you can upload the dimensions of your room and see how certain items will fit in your spaces. In addition, be sure to measure the width of doors to ensure that it’s easy to get the furniture into the home when delivered.
Determine Your Style
Figure out which style best fits your personality and lifestyle. This may be traditional, transitional or modern. Incorporate pieces accordingly, or mix and match to create a look that is completely unique.
Confirm Materials
Consider your budget
when choosing the construction materials for the furniture. Solid wood tends to be more expensive, but often more durable than engineered products. In addition, check to see how items are built. Pull out drawers and check hinges to ensure the quality is there.
Save Money On Sales Furniture can be expensive, but there is room for savings. Shop when retailers offer seasonal sales. Consider warehouse retailers, which often sell select items at a discount.
Read Reviews
Before taking the plunge, be sure to read reviews of items and retailers. While items may appear perfect, reviews can shed light on how pieces stand up to wear and tear.
Shopping for furniture means taking steps to measure, match style, read reviews, and find pieces that fit homeowners’ lifestyles.
Create More Storage Space In The Kitchen
If home is where the heart is, then the kitchen is where that heart spends most of its time. Kitchens are where family and friends tend to congregate during holiday celebrations, and many a homework assignment has been completed at a kitchen island while parents prepare dinner.
The popularity of kitchens is reflected in the attention these rooms get from renovationminded homeowners.
Data from the National Association of Home Builders indicates kitchens are the most popular room to remodel. Upgrading kitchen storage is a popular renovation project, and it’s also one that has practical appeal.

space when hosting and guests inevitably congregate around an island. With those benefits in mind, wouldbe organizers can consider these strategies to create more storage space in the kitchen.
• Take stock of the spice rack. Creating more storage space does not necessarily have to involve tools like screwdrivers, hammers and nails. Spice racks can easily become overcrowded as amateur cooks expand their culinary repertoire. A crowded spice rack inevitably spills out onto the surrounding countertop.
Take stock of the spice rack and discard any spices or seasonings you haven’t used in a while. This can create a more organized look and free up extra counter space.
• Make a digital cookbook. If your goto recipes are filling a binder or two, those binders are almost certainly taking up precious storage space. Scan printed recipes and covert your physical recipe collection into a digital cookbook you store on a tablet. out shelving in the pantry. Rollout shelving puts the entire pantry to use. Without such
shelving, items are destined to be relegated to that nether region known as the back of the pantry. Some items never emerge from this area, as cooks forget they’re there and then purchase duplicates, which inevitably contributes to storage issues. Rollout shelving ensures all items in the pantry can be found and greatly reduces the likelihood that cooks will have lots of duplicate items taking up precious kitchen space.
• Remove singleuse gadgets from the kitchen. Much like spices and seasonings vital to the preparation of
specialty meals have a tendency to be used just once, kitchen gadgets that lack versatility have a way of gathering dust and taking up storage space. Whether it’s a popcorn maker, a seldomused but spaceneedy wok or another gadget that’s used infrequently, if at all, store singleuse gadgets in the garage or another area of the house where they won’t get in the way or contribute to a lessthanorganized look in the room.
A handful of simple strategies can help anyone create more storage space in the kitchen.
Renovation
More
homeowners choose to stay and
play in their current homes instead of selling. Here are five solid interior renovation tips, each of which easily can be accomplished in a weekend.
One of the longestlasting
decorating trends is to bring the outside in. Homeowners enjoy the look of natural, real products in their home, and real wood fits in with almost every design style.
First Impression: If the
first thing your visitors see upon entering your home is cold tile flooring or worn carpet, it’s time to make a grand entrance. Rip up that dated look and replace it with clean, fresh, easytomaintain wood flooring. The room will be brighter, more elegant and easily customizable with a gorgeous throw rug, or a custom stain job.
Kitchen Face-Lift:
According to the DIY Network, kitchen renovations are one of the best ways to add value to a home. To keep the project from becoming overwhelming, take it one step at a time.
Start with the kitchen island.
The kitchen island is often the visual focus of the room in which family members gather. Change the look of the island with some decorative pine beadboard paneling and you’ll love the
whole new look it gives the room.
Clean up the Bathroom: Why neglect the one room in your house everyone will see? Create a fun, whimsical rest stop by decorating following a theme: Create a beach bathroom by installing beadboard paneling at chairrail level, then topping off the look with whitewashed wooden shelves displaying favorite seashells and driftwood. Feeling creative?
Use pine moulding, painted a cool, beachy color, to frame out the wall mirror.
Dine in Style: Often the most formal room in the home, try this easy project to add another layer of style to the dining room, picture frame moulding. Just below the chair rail, install 1/2round moulding pieces, cut to create a square or rectangle on the wall. Paint the frames an accent color, and get ready for the compliments to roll in.
A fun office? There’s no need for a home office to be as serious as a cube; create an environment designed to nurture and encourage good work habits. Customize the office with wellloved touches: photos lining the walls and trophies and other memorabilia originally displayed. Use the entire room to get the job done. Install diagonal wood paneling, stained a warm, natural color, and accent it with a huge corkboard full of pins to hold your important papers.

Tips
To Maintaining A Lawn Routinely Roamed By Pets
Vibrant, green lawns can draw attention to any landscape. Many homeowners toil for hours each week to ensure their lawns are pristine, or invest in lawn care services to help maintain a yard if they do not have the time to do so themselves.
While many treatments can be applied to lawns to help them thrive, animal waste is not among them. Pet owners who aspire to have beautiful lawns will have to take a few extra steps to ensure lawns can persevere despite the presence of furry companions.
Reseed With A DamageResistant Grass
There are many different types of grass, and some are more resilient than others.
Tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and Bermuda grass are just some of the grass varieties that can capably handle pet traffic. If replacing the entire lawn is not possible, consider
reseeding or addressing the areas that pets frequent.
Strengthen The Root System It may be tempting to cut
the lawn short, particularly if dogs or cats like to nibble on longer blades of grass. But that approach could be doing the lawn a disservice.
According to The Home Depot, letting the lawn grow to at least three inches will help keep moisture in the soil and prevent evaporation. That moisture will strengthen the roots, creating a healthier lawn for pets and people.
Create Pet Paths
Various materials can be used in these hightraffic areas to minimize the sights and signs of pet traffic. Mulch or crushed stone can
establish these pet highways and look like intended features.
Set Boundaries
Pet urine contains high levels of nitrogen, which can burn grass and turn it brown. It’s not possible to water down urine or pick up solid waste immediately every time a pet goes outdoors, so designate a petfriendly spot for potty time. Use fencing

Maintaining A Lawn

Avoid Chemical Lawn Treatments
or a dog run to separate this area and help mitigate “land mines” all over the lawn. Fencing also can keep pets out of vegetable gardens and away from potentially toxic plants.
When pets use the yard and rest on the lawn, you’ll need to eliminate products that can be harmful to them. Choose allnatural fertilizers and weed and pest preventatives.
Look For Alternatives
If maintaining a lawn with pets seems like an uphill battle, consider swapping out your landscape with a variety of materials. Scale back on grass, and incorporate groundcover, hardscape materials like pea gravel, or extend the patio. Artificial turf also is an option, as it won’t brown and wither. Some turf products can even be quickly and thoroughly cleaned with water.
It can take some trial and error for pet parents to protect their lawns from the effects of having furry friends playing in the yard.
Established 1989
Do you have some things that need fixed at home?
Homeowners who aren’t interested in doing the work themselves turn to contractors to ensure the job is done not only to code, but on time and efficiently. After receiving an initial estimate from a contractor, homeowners may wonder if there is any additional wiggle room in contractors’ costs.
Certain contractors are willing to negotiate while others are firm in their prices. However, learning the basics of negotiation can put homeowners in position to save money on dream renovations.
Tips For Negotiating With Contractors On Estimates
Do your homework
Getting the best price typically require shopping around and not settling on the first bid. Experts recommend getting at least three estimates on the same job — and be sure to let each contractor know that you are soliciting multiple bids. This
alone may entice a specific contractor to give you his or her best offer up front. Avoid simply choosing the lowest bid. Look at quality of work, reputation and reviews. If you like a costly contractor more than another, see if that contractor is willing to match a lower bid.
Pick the right season
when their busy season may be. Jobs may slow down in winter, for example.
Talk about supplies
Even after getting a good bid, you may be able to speak with your contractor about lowering costs even more by choosing less costly supplies. Find out if contractors can source materials from a lowcost supplier.
Ask to do a portion
Be honest with the contractor about your budget and figure out if there is any way for you to do some of the work to lower costs. The contractor may give you jobs that are within your abilities.
Know your rights and laws
As with other industries, home renovation work heats up during certain seasons or times of year. General contractors may be more willing to negotiate for a lower price depending on
Understand the laws governing contract language in your state or province. Contracts should also spell out the change order process so that expectations of changes and costs will be known in advance.

Kitchens are the busiest rooms in most homes.
Kitchens have become more than just places to prepare meals, with many functioning as gathering spaces and even go-to dining spots in homes that do not feature formal dining rooms.
So much time spent in the kitchen makes it worthwhile to invest in these popular spaces. Kitchen renovations are high on many homeowners’ to-do lists, and there’s many decisions to make once they commit to redoing the room. When renovating a kitchen, home-
What To Know About Popular Kitchen Countertop Materials
owners will have to choose which countertop material they want to install, and the following rundown of popular options can help simplify that decision.
Quartz
Quartz is considered a low-maintenance and durable countertop material.
The home improvement experts at This Old House note that quartz countertops are typically 94 percent ground quartz and now come with an honed, sandblasted or embossed treatment, which makes them appealing
to homeowners with varying ideas on the ideal look of a kitchen countertop. Quartz can crack if it’s not handled properly, and edges and
edges and corners. Granite is a durable material that, if properly maintained, can last several decades. Granite also is nonporous, which makes it resistant to bacteria.
Laminate
corners can chip over time. Rounded edges can minimize the risk of chipping. Costs vary by location and product availability, but quartz typically costs about the same as natural stone.
Granite
Consumer Reports notes that no two slabs of granite are the same, and that uniqueness has long appealed to homeowners. Tests run by Consumer Reports found that heat, cuts and scratches did not harm granite, though this material, like quartz, can crack around
Laminate countertops appeal to budget-friendly homeowners and Consumer Reports notes that they’re easy to install. Home Depot also notes that laminate countertops come in a wide range of colors, textures and designs. Laminate countertops also are durable, which helps budget-conscious homeowners stretch their dollars even further. Laminate countertops are easily maintained, though it’s also easy to permanently damage them with knives, so Consumer Reports recommends always using a cutting board when preparing meals on laminate.
Butcher Block
Butcher block countertops are among the more unique options homeowners may
consider. Sometimes referred to as “wood countertops,” butcher block countertops are made from wooden strips that are fused together. The home improvement experts at BobVila.com note that butcher block is among the more affordable materials, but the final cost will be dictated by location and availability. BobVila. com notes that butcher block countertops are highly sensitive to liquid, so exposure to moisture should be limited. Sealing butcher block countertops immediately after installation can help protect against bacteria and warping. Though butcher blocks can be high maintenance, many homeowners find the unique look is well worth the extra elbow grease.
Kitchen countertops can define how the room looks, and homeowners have many options to choose from when designing a new kitchen.

at work or school is often just what people need to unwind.
Certain design components can help individuals turn their homes into relaxing respites from the daily grind. With that goal in mind, individuals can consider these ideas to create a peaceful feel inside their homes.
• Paint with neutral colors. Wall colors can define the mood in a given room, and neutral colors have long been linked to a calming effect. Subtle shades like beige, taupe and light gray are known to create a relaxed vibe in a room, so these colors can be a go-to choice.
Some people consider neutral colors a tad boring, so individuals concerned by that impression can limit neutral colors to rooms designated as sanctuaries, like a reading room, a spa bathroom or a bedroom.
• Employ natural light. Natural light also can help to establish a serene setting at home. Large windows that let daylight in can improve anyone’s mood. A 2022 study from researchers at the University of Chile in Santiago found that the more natural light that entered a home, the happier people said they felt. Study authors even noted that the largest uptick in well-being was found among participants who lived in homes in which windows covered at least 40 percent of the dwelling’s wall space. Opening blinds or curtains and, if possible, installing larger windows in a home can help to establish the relaxing, happy vibe individuals are aiming for.
• Utilize plants to set a peaceful tone. The United Kingdom-based Royal Horticultural Society notes that research has found that indoor plants can benefit psychological well-being.
The RHS notes that improved mood and reduced stress levels are two benefits that indoor plants can provide. A good mood and less stress can help individuals establish the peaceful feel they’re aiming for at home.
• Keep devices out of bedrooms. Watching television while lying in bed, scanning a smartphone before turning off a nightstand light and retiring for the night, or reading an e-reader instead of a print book at night can transform a bedroom from a serene setting into one that’s
overrun with stimuli. According to the Sleep Foundation, technology stimulates the mind, which can make it harder to fall asleep. In addition, blue light emitted by devices disrupts the natural production of melatonin, a hormone that makes it easier to fall asleep. That can negate any efforts individuals have undertaken to make their bedrooms as peaceful as possible. Designate bedrooms in the house as technology-free zones to ensure the peaceful vibe continues uninterrupted until everyone goes to bed.
