Daily printout: May 7

The Postal Service dedicated its Goodnight Moon stamps during a May 2 event in Kansas City, MO.

“These nostalgic stamps not only celebrate the timeless charm of ‘Goodnight Moon’ but also highlight the enduring relevance of both stamps and children’s literature in a digital age,” said Lisa Bobb-Semple, the Postal Service’s stamp services director, who spoke at the event.

The ceremony was held at the Rabbit hOle museum, which has a replica of the “great green room” from the story.

Other speakers included Pete Cowdin, the museum’s co-director, and Thacher Hurd, son of Clement Hurd, the book’s illustrator.

Written by Margaret Wise Brown, “Goodnight Moon” has sold a total of more than 48 million copies since it was first published in 1947 — placing it among the best-selling children’s books of all time.

In 1996, the New York Public Library included “Goodnight Moon” on its Books of the Century list.

Derry Noyes, an art director for USPS, designed the pane of 16 stamps, which features eight details from the picture book.

The Forever stamps are available at Post Offices and usps.com.

Getting enough good, quality sleep is essential to physical health and emotional well-being, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Quality sleep is uninterrupted, refreshing sleep. It is determined by how many hours you sleep and how well you sleep. The amount of quality sleep needed changes throughout a person’s life, but it is recommended that adults get at least seven hours of sleep daily.

Signs of poor sleep include having trouble falling asleep, repeatedly waking up during the night and feeling tired during the day.

These habits can improve sleep:

• Going to bed and getting up at the same times every day;

• Keeping the bedroom quiet and cool;

• Turning off electronic devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime;

• Avoiding large meals and alcohol before bedtime;

• Not consuming caffeine in the afternoon or evening; and

• Exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet.

Getting enough quality sleep can help:

• Improve immunity to sickness;

• Maintain a healthy weight;

• Reduce stress and improve your mood;

• Improve heart health and metabolism;

• Lower the risk of chronic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease; and

• Improve attention span and memory.
