Sit back at work...Okay, so what if you spend 30 minutes of each workday perusing Pinterest? You can jpoint your boss to this new study and tell her you're just working on "refocusing" your efforts.

By Meagan Morris

Seriously, though: Researchers from the University of Toronto found that so-called slackers at the office typically just are refocusing their efforts from one task to another when they seem like they're not doing anything. The researchers went on to say that managers should view this as a sign of adaptability-a good thing to have in today's ever-changing business climate.

These tricks will help you perk up.Even if you don't have full-on Seasonal Affective Disorder (or S.A.D.), chances are you still get a little down in the winter. Just the fact that the sun sets at 4 p.m. these days is enough to make a grown woman cry. That's why we reached out to Nieca Goldberg, MD, for the best ways to boost your mood until spring.

By Emma Barker

1. Let There Be Light
Part of the reason we feel so bummed out in the winter is that we're not exposed to sunlight as much as we are in, say, the middle of the summer. Enter HappyLight. It's a lamp that mimics sunlight in your gloomy apartment. It sounds hokey, but 30 minutes in front of one of these will pep you right up.

2. Load Up On Tryptophan
Foods like turkey, milk, and egg whites contain the famously calming chemical, but turns out it also boosts your mood. Aim to have at least one serving a day.

Heels don't just make your legs look great. They also help our bodies get into lordosis, or the spinal posture where our backs are naturally arched and our rears are tipped upward. This pose attracts dudes on a primal level because female mammals naturally crouch down and angle their butts when they're about to mate. Um…hot?

2. Your Scent
A recent study by German researchers revealed that our bodies put off a natural "scent" to help us find mates that have strong immune systems. However, our vaginas also release a musky smell during that time of the month-known as copulance-that stimulates testosterone and sexual

A healthier diet will help you get more zzzs.Eating a balanced diet is not only good for your waistline, it's also good for your sleeping routine (which is, in turn, good for your waistline). Go figure.

By Natasha Burton

According to a study done at the University of Pennsylvania, people who eat a large variety of foods-which other research shows is an important indicator of an overall healthy diet-have the healthiest sleep patterns. Why? Certain nutrients and food may effect our snoozing habits.

In comparing people's diets to how long they slept each night, researchers found that people who get too little shut-eye ate more calories, but typically drank less water and ingested less vitamin C and other important nutrients than people who slept the normal seven to eight hours a night. Not surprisingly, people who slept too much typically consumed more alcohol than the "normal" sleepers. And, both the too little and too much sleep groups also had less food variety in their diets.
