Sleep disorders, from insomnia to sleep apnea to sleep deprivation due to work schedules or caring for sick family members, take an enormous toll on sufferers and society at large.
Moisture, in my opinion, is the tricky part. You want to keep the soil consistently moist for weeks while waiting for your little babies to germinate, but you miss one day, and boom! youâre set back. Soaking seeds for 24 hours BEFORE planting can significantly cut down on germination timeâand overall effort. To soak seeds, just place them in a cup of water for about 24 hours. Some people recommend starting with hot water and then just allowing it to cool as the seed soaks. Larger seeds with hard exteriors need to be scratched a bit before soaking, to ensure water will penetrate the outer shell.
The first job is to get the dry seed into soak. By the time itâs completed it will be at least twice the volume of its starting size â so make sure you use a large pan and only fill it to a third of its capacity. Put enough water on top to fill the pan to 2/3 rds its capacity.eave this for at least 24 hours to soak. When you come back to it, the majority of seeds should have sunk and have taken on lots of the water. Bring this to the boil. Once it has come to a hard boil-turn it off and cover.
