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.
Water your lawn for about an hour immediately after you rake. Water your lawn for at least 30 minutes a day for seven days to make sure the seeds get enough water. Wait as long as you can to mow the tall grass -- at least four to five days -- so the seeds have time to become stable in the soil.
