Turn off your screens. Meditate. Use wearable monitors. Change the temperature. Try this drug. When it comes to the importance of getting a good night's sleep, we are bombarded with enough advice, devices and consumables to keep us up all night. A couple of new studies are giving us a better idea of why we should sleep in the first place. It turns out, that among other things, we sleep to forget some of the things we learn each day. (No wonder I keep forgetting my sleep number.) From the NYT: The Purpose of Sleep? To Forget. In that case, good night.

"They're the throws that, in some way, represent a larger theme or tendency that helps explain how Brady and the Patriots have been able to stay this good for this long." No matter what happens on Sunday, Tom Brady has cemented his legacy as (perhaps) the greatest quarterback in NFL history. Here's a look at the ten throws that define Tom Brady.

+ Not content to watch from the couch? Here's the $400,000 way to do the Super Bowl.

+ What goes on during the brief time between plays (while you're running to the fridge)? From the Boston Globe: 40 Frantic Seconds.

+ "In the huddle, at the pinnacle of do-or-die tension, Montana turns to tackle Harris Barton and asks a crucial question: 'Hey, in the stands, sitting next to the exit ramp -- isn't that John Candy?'" (That's long been my favorite Super Bowl story.) Here are a few untold stories from Super Bowls past.

+ OK, I made it this far into an edition without any Trump news. But the truth is that these days, almost all news is Trump news. The Super Bowl, one would think, offers a brief respite. Well, think again. The game, the commercials, the halftime show, and the 1.5 million people who will be packed into the stadium ... everything on Super Bowl Sunday will be Trump-infused; starting with the Patriots. From the NYT's Mark Leibovich: The Uncomfortable Love Affair Between Donald Trump and the New England Patriots: "New England, which will appear in an NFL-record ninth Super Bowl on Sunday, is a team that wins so much that a lot of America has become, yes, bored of its winning. And no small number of fans are convinced that the Patriots (like Trump) achieve their victories through dubious means and wish they would just go away and get off their TVs forever."

+ The networks try to keep politics out of the commercials. As you might imagine, that's harder this year, when everything is political. From Sapna Maheshwari in the NYT: Challenge for Super Bowl Commercials: Not Taking Sides, Politically.

+ "That kid that couldn't get a seat at the cool kids' table, and that kid that was kicked out of the house because his mom and dad didn't accept him for who he was? That kid is going to have the stage for 13 minutes." Lady Gaga says her halftime show will be all about inclusion. (Looking back, even Left Shark was political.)

What to Doc: The NYT has a page with some Sundance short Docs, including this one that "sought to capture people facing a difficult situation, to make a portrait of humans in doubt." It's called Ten Meter Tower.

+ What to Read: "A Democrat by heritage and Republican by choice, Bannon has come to see both parties as deeply corrupt, a belief that has shaped his recent career as a polemical filmmaker and Internet bomb thrower. A party guest recalled meeting him as a private citizen and Bannon telling him that he was like Lenin, eager to 'bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today's Establishment.'" From Time: Is Steve Bannon the second most powerful man in the world?

+ What to Analyze: "Many voices have claimed that the statisticians lost the election because their predictions were so off the mark. But what if statisticians in fact helped win the election -- but only those who were using the new method? It is an irony of history that Trump, who often grumbled about scientific research, used a highly scientific approach in his campaign." If you want to understand recent elections (and future ones), you need to understand the role of companies like Cambridge Analytica. Everything you do online adds a layer to your psycho-social persona. And it can and will being used against you. From Motherboard: The Data That Turned the World Upside Down.

"We believe that reinventing the camera represents our greatest opportunity to improve the way that people live and communicate." Snap (parent of Snapchat) has filed for its much-anticipated IPO. From WaPo: Here are the 10 most interesting things we've learned so far.

+ As an investor, here's the most interesting thing I've learned so far: Snapchat growth slowed 82% after Instagram Stories launched.

+ Snapchat company's IPO filing might be LA's biggest ever. (Hey, we sort of ruined the Bay Area. There's no reason we can't ruin LA too...)

Kellyanne Conway is taking a lot of heat for making up a terrorist attack in Bowling Green in an effort to defend the new immigration rules. (Maybe this administration needs gutter guards.) The bigger issue is whether the bans and walls are actually protecting us from anything other than manufactured and hyper-politicized fear.

+ "Lancaster County takes in more refugees per capita than almost anywhere in the country, according to numbers from the State Department and the Pennsylvania Refugee Resettlement Program." From Outline: Where The Refugees Go.

+ "I have so many people, friends of mine, that had nice businesses, they just can't borrow money … because the banks just won't let them borrow because of the rules and regulations in Dodd-Frank." President Trump signed executive order to reconsider Wall Street regulations. And the Treasury Dept placed new sanctions on Iran, in response to a ballistic missile launch and because, "they're not behaving."

+ On Friday, President Trump met with his business advisory council. Uber's Travis Kalanick was not among the attendees. He dropped out after pressure from employees, and about 200,000 people deleted the Uber app.

"More fundamentally, the common, monolithic definition of willpower distracts us from finer-grained dimensions of self-control and runs the danger of magnifying harmful myths—like the idea that willpower is finite and exhaustible. To borrow a phrase from the philosopher Ned Block, willpower is a mongrel concept, one that connotes a wide and often inconsistent range of cognitive functions. The closer we look, the more it appears to unravel. It's time to get rid of it altogether." From Aeon: Willpower is a dangerous, old idea that needs to be scrapped. (At my house, it will definitely be scrapped by the second quarter of the Super Bowl.)

"Instead of increasingly outsourcing child-rearing, parents are devoting more of the scarce time left outside working hours to their children. Over the last two decades, time spent by parents on child-rearing has jumped. In America in the 1980s, for example, young mothers spent about 12 hours per week actively engaged in child care while fathers spent about four hours per week. Those figures have since soared – and the rise in hours spent with children has been greatest among better-educated, higher-earning parents." In The Economist, Ryan Avent considers the current state of High-Pressure Parenting.

A "music editor who went by the name Slava Pastuk, personally tried to recruit them as international drug couriers, offering each of them $10,000 to carry illicit cargo hidden in the lining of suitcases from Las Vegas to Australia." A former editor allegedly used Vice Canada to recruit drug mules. (Well, we knew journalists needed to develop new business models.)

"One day, he used his popcorn snack to create model atoms, his father said. With his little hand forming a nucleus, he used popcorn kernels as protons, neutrons and electrons to make elements such as nitrogen and lithium." From WaPo: He's only 7 years old, but this Maryland boy 'could be the next Einstein.'" (When I was seven, my parents doubted I'd ever have my own blog.)

"The NFL treats us like a 33rd NFL franchise. We get all their statistics and all their injury reports and things of that nature in a real-time fashion when the teams do." Want to know which team will win the Super Bowl? Check the simulated games on Madden.
