Science Says This Is The Ideal Commute Time
Most people underestimate the impact that a long commute can have on their overall well being. Studies show that adding just 20 minutes to a round trip commute has the same negative effect as a 19% drop in salary. After all, the time you spend in a locked car is time you won’t be able to spend on valuable leisure activities like watching TV or talking to friends and family. Additionally, sitting for too long can cause strain on your muscles, and longer commutes have been shown to increase stress levels. Worst of all, extended commuting has been shown to decrease overall job satisfaction.
What is the Average Commute Time?
Before determining the ideal commute time, let’s consider the average commute for Americans today. Commute times vary significantly by region. As you might expect, large metro areas tend to have the worst transit times. People in New York City suffer through an average of 34.7 minutes of commute, while their counterparts in Buffalo get to work in 20.3 minutes flat. Surprisingly, Las Vegas is one of the best places to drive to work (only 22.5 minutes), probably because the city is fairly isolated which cuts down on congestion.
A 1995 National Personal Transportation Survey found that the national average for commute time was roughly 20 minutes each way. A more recent study from UC Davis estimated that the average work commute was around 30 minutes, but research was limited to the San Francisco Bay Area. Regardless of where you live or how long it takes to drive where you want to go, over half of all Americans are unhappy with the length, time, or frequency of their current commute.
What is the Ideal Commute Time?
If you were to ask the average person what their ideal commute time would be, you might assume that they would respond “0 minutes and 0 seconds”. However, a recent study by UC Davis disproves this theory. When researchers asked participants what their ideal commute time would be, they discovered that most people request it to be at least 5 minutes long. When they asked participants, “what is your ideal commute time?” the results were surprising: on average, people wanted a commute time that was 16 minutes long, not zero. In order to understand why, participants were asked questions designed to reveal their attitudes towards commuting.
Looking at People Who Like to Commute
People who agreed with statements like “I use my commute time productively” and “My commute trip is a useful transition between home and work”, while disagreeing with others like “My commute is a real hassle”, tended to prefer a long trip. They didn’t see driving to work as a stressful waste of time they would have to endure before they reached their final destination. They enjoyed the time they spent in their car and took it as an opportunity to de-stress or better themselves.
Additionally, people with personality traits that correlate with success were more likely to enjoy longer commutes. Participants identified by researchers as status seekers (they agreed with statements such as “to me, the car is a status symbol”, “a lot of the fun of having something nice is showing it off ”, and “the one who dies with the most toys wins”) or workaholics (they said “I’m pretty much a workaholic”, and “I’d like to spend more time on work”) both expressed their desire for longer commute times. The UC Davis researchers couldn’t isolate why, but believed that it could have something to do with workers altering their preferences to fit the preferences of their employers.
Commuting in an Ideal World
If the request for more commute time sounds unlikely to you, don’t worry. The UC Davis study determined that those who prefer a long commute were a small but sizable minority. When they asked the question, “What is your ideal commute time?” to study participants, only 8.9% wanted a commute time of 30 minutes, and another 2.1% wanted a commute to work that took even longer.
Essentially, there is a balance. Of course people don’t want their commute to be too long, but on the other hand, they don’t want it to be too short either. The scientifically determined ideal commute time of 16 minutes fits this rule. Hypothetically, it allows workers enough space to transition from work without depriving them of too much personal time. Though it sounds appealing, the idealized 16-minute commute is still 4-to 14-minutes shorter than the national average. So how can you cope with a commute that feels too long?
How to Improve Your Commute
How can you improve your time in transit? Though most associate “commuting” with driving or taking public transit, these are not the only options for travel. You can walk, drive, skateboard, or even rollerblade to your office or home. These modes of transportation add variety to your day, and by incorporating physical activity into your daily routine you can eliminate the need to visit a gym. Additionally, a study from Sweden shows that slow commutes like walking or biking actually increase satisfaction compared to driving or public transit.
Many believe that they can’t make the switch because their workplace is too far away. However, research has shown that Americans routinely overestimate the amount of time it would take them to bike or walk to work. The health benefits of physical activity are enormous, and it’s worth it to attempt your route before concluding that it won’t be possible.
Another concern is the logistics of transporting laptops or papers. Remember that you can easily carry your work materials in a commuter backpack. Fashionable backpacks are becoming more popular as workers realize that style and comfort don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Many newer “adult” backpacks have minimalist styles and use high quality materials like leather. They’re built to withstand the jostling of a 30 minute bike ride while still appearing chic and fashionable.
Finding the Silver Lining
Even if you can’t bike or walk to work, you can increase your overall happiness by spending the time you have inside your car more productively. Audiobooks are a great way to gain knowledge and become more competitive in your field. You might also listen to the news or talk radio so that you don’t feel cheated out of leisure time. Music on your car’s radio can also improve your mood and boost your spirit.
If you want to save money while reducing stress, consider traveling with neighbors or coworkers. Carpooling is social, and chatting with another person can help distract you from any anger or distress that you might feel about the situation you are stuck in. You will also be free to use your phone to play games, watch movies, or make calls. It’s much less stressful to be sitting in the backseat than driving in heavy traffic.
A “commute” doesn’t need to involve suffering. By embracing the time that you have as an opportunity to improve your physical or mental health (or at least squeeze in some leisure), you can find the upside to even the longest transit.
A computer programmer with a two-hour round trip commute told the Washington Post, “As strange as it sounds, I’d rather have an hour-plus commute than a five-minute commute. In the morning, it gives me a chance to work through what I’m going to do for the day. And it’s my decompression time.”
What’s the Difference: Everything You Need to Know About Waterproofing
When you’re shopping for a new bag, the terms “waterproof”, “water repellent”, and “water resistant” might appear interchangeable at first glance. However, each term has a distinctly different meaning. Waterproof bags can be completed submerged in a pool of liquid without suffering any leakage. A water resistant backpack, however, is probably better suited to a light drizzle. Before you make a decision about what type of waterproofing is right for you, it’s essential to understand the terminology and the tradeoffs for each option.
Water Resistant
A water resistant bag is better than a non-resistant bag at protecting your valuables, but it’s the least effective of all three waterproofing options. However, the upside to having laxer standards is that bag manufacturers are able to use a wider range of materials and construction methods, usually resulting in a more fashionable backpack.
Most bags classified as “Water Resistant” have the following features:
Tightly woven fabric. Looser fabric weaves have microscopic holes that allow water to seep in. A tighter weave is meant to eliminate these holes and seal out liquid.
A standard zipper. The downside to a standard zipper is that there are gaps in the teeth, leaving the strip of fabric where the zipper is located vulnerable to water.
A special coating meant to repel water, though usually not as effectively as the coating on a water repellent or waterproof bag. Some water may be absorbed by the material.
Water Repellent
Water repellent bags are the next step up for water protection coverage. While a water resistant bag can work well in a light drizzle, a water repellent bag can succeed in a heavy storm. Many of the materials in a water repellent bag are completely waterproof, but due to the way that the bag is constructed, it cannot be officially classified as “waterproof”. Most people can meet their everyday waterproofing needs with a water repellent backpack.
Most bags classified as “Water Repellent” feature the following:
Tightly woven fabric that is similar to, or stronger than, the weave on a water resistant bag. It is usually more effective at eliminating any microscopic holes.
A standard zipper, which is still vulnerable to water due to small openings between grooves.
A stronger waterproof coating, often a thin film. This coating is a step up from what you would find on a water resistant bag and will often cause water to literally roll right off the bag.
Waterproof
A waterproof bag is considered the gold standard when it comes to protecting your items from water. It is the most thorough classification, and is often reserved for bags that can withstand extreme downpours and complete underwater submersion. Many of these bags are made by companies that specialize in outdoor wear, like Patagonia or The North Face. Fashion and style options in a waterproof backpack may be limited, as they are often quite utilitarian. This is why they are often reserved for camping.
Most bags classified as “Water Proof” have the following features:
A waterproof zipper. This is a primary feature that sets the waterproof bag apart from the others. The ridges of the waterproof zipper are not visible on the bag, and may take extra effort to locate or maneuver. This special zipper is necessary to eliminate any small gaps or holes. The waterproof zipper often looks like an open seam, and may be differently colored.
A roll top closure. This allows manufacturers to get rid of zippers, which are a liability even if they are waterproof due to the holes they can create. This type of closure is often useful in hiking or backpacking gear.
A heavy waterproof coating that ensures that any water rolls of your bag and is never absorbed. These bags are completely hydrophobic.
Trade-offs to Waterproofing
If you’re like most people, you want to a maximum level of coverage. After all, why risk getting your valuables wet if you can buy a bag guaranteed to keep them dry? However, most bags are not waterproof due to the intensive labor required to meet waterproofing standards. The challenge lies in construction - any seams between fabric can create opportunities for water to seep in. To prevent this possibility, manufacturers must use a special process called “ultrasonic welding”. A trained welder uses an ultrasonic welding machine to join fabric together without creating any seams. The end result is a bag that looks glued together, though the bond is much stronger.
Is Waterproofing Worth It?
A good way to think about waterproof backpacks is this analogy about being gluten free: If you’re on a gluten-free diet, you don’t need to worry about cross contamination from a few wheat grains. As long as your plate is 99% free of gluten, you are fine. If you have severe celiac disease, however, 99% is not good enough. You can have a severe reaction from a few wheat-based crumbs, and are often forced to make special arrangements or even bring food from home. Preparing your meal takes more effort. For a small minority of the population who have this disease, it is worth it. For the majority, it is not.
The tradeoffs that customers and manufacturers must make to justify waterproofing are, in many cases, not worth it. Ultrasonic welding is expensive for manufacturers, which means you will need to pay a higher price for a waterproof bag. Fewer stitches and zippers mean the bags can look sparse or utilitarian. The restrictions put in place to eliminate every possible drop of water means that your design options are limited. If you only intend to use your bag in a drizzle or even a heavy downpour, a totally waterproof backpack is probably not justified.
Alternatives to Full Waterproofing
If you intend to use your backpack for everyday use, there are other means of keeping out rain. If you have special papers or electronics that are essential for you to keep dry, you might consider using a dry bag. These pouches can fit inside your backpack and hold items like cell phones, passports, keys, wallets, and other small objects that are especially vulnerable to water damage. If you intend to visit an extremely wet area or you just want to be careful in a downpour, these bags can offer you an extra layer of protection.
Waterproof Zippers
One of the biggest differences when it comes to a waterproof vs water resistant or repellant backpack is the zipper. Resistant and repellent backpacks use a non-waterproof zipper, leaving gaps that can allow small amounts of water to leach in. Though you may not need the full coverage that a waterproof zipper provides, you can consider the extra protection a bonus. Some bags offer a mixture of zipper types, which can cut down on unnecessary costs while still preserving style and offering protection to your most valuable items. Consider ISM’s backpack, which features a waterproof zipper for just the laptop compartment. A regular zipper on the outside creates a stylish appearance and is easy to use, while the waterproof laptop zipper offers maximum protection where it can do the most good.
Takeaways
Though a stylish, affordable, light, and fully waterproof backpack is ideal, it’s rare to encounter and unnecessary to seek. Water repellent backpacks with special zippers and materials can offer you nearly identical coverage in a heavy downpour, and they often come at a lower price point with the added bonus of being more fashionable. You don’t have to sacrifice lightweight materials like leather and nylon. You can buy a backpack with gold-plated zippers, leather tassels, and metallic embellishments. A water repellent backpack, like ISM’s, is sturdy enough to completely protect your valuables from the rain.

HYDRAFACIALS - RYE BROOK, NEW YORK
RHINOPLASTY - RIVERTON, UTAH and SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Riverton Rhinoplasty by Dr. Derrick Gale of the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Utah
Your nose is in the center of your face, and it's also central to your appearance and well-being. A large or malformed nose can affect your quality of life, making breathing painful, uncomfortable, or noisy. You may experience sinus problems, or suffer from sleep apnea. The look of your nose, and its ability to work, often go hand in hand. Some surgeries meant to improve the function of your nose can also affect its appearance, and vice versa. Whether your nasal problems are functional or aesthetic, you can consult Doctor Derrick Gale of the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Utah. Doctor Gale is an ENT surgeon with additional training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Rhinoplasty from an ENT vs. Rhinoplasty from a Plastic Surgeon
When looking for a doctor, you're often forced to make a decision: Ear Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT), or general plastic surgeon. An ENT focuses on the functional health of your nose. ENTs spend years learning about the structure of the face and the relationship between your sinuses, tongue, ears, and mouth. They are experts in the area (nose) that a rhinoplasty is performed. If your reason for undergoing a rhinoplasty is to improve your ability to breathe or sleep at night, an ENT is the right type of doctor for you. If you're interested in Rhinoplasty in Riverton, UT and Salt Lake City, UT, then the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Utah is a good place to seek treatment. We can answer any questions you have when you call us at 801-783-3011.
While ENTs focus on the medical health of your nose and its passageways, general plastic surgeons study the science of aesthetics. Though they know how to improve your appearance, general plastic surgeons do not have the same depth of experience performing surgeries on the face.
Dr. Derrick Gale is unique because he combines the best of both worlds. Doctor Gale is a board-certified ENT with additional training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. A doctor trained as both an ENT and a plastic surgeon has the unusual ability to solve any breathing problems as they simultaneously improve your appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate For Rhinoplasty?
A good candidate for rhinoplasty has reached skeletal maturity (usually age 14 for girls, 16 for boys), does not smoke, and is in good physical health. Patients suffering from severe nasal blockage may be eligible to receive a rhinoplasty at a younger age. The ideal candidate has a clear picture of what they want their nose to look like, combined with realistic expectations about what rhinoplasty surgery can accomplish. When you meet with Doctor Gale during your initial consult, you should bring a photograph of the nose you want. A narrower bridge, smaller nostrils, or a straighter shape are examples of the type of change you might desire. Make sure to write down a list of questions to ask at your appointment as well.
Surgeons can solve many breathing problems through rhinoplasty. Sleep apnea, a deviated septum, and other issues caused by nasal obstruction can all be improved through a rhinoplasty operation. Doctor Gale is particularly experienced in treating sleep apnea. He is fellowship-trained in sleep surgery, which includes skeletofacial and airway reconstruction. A deviated septum is another common reason for undergoing rhinoplasty. Contrary to popular belief, fixing a deviated septum does not affect the appearance of the nose. However, deviated septums are often the result of a bent or crooked nose, and many patients opt to correct the issue by undergoing a rhinoplasty concurrently.
What Will Rhinoplasty Surgery Be Like?
There are two primary types of rhinoplasty: closed and open. In a closed rhinoplasty, the surgeon makes incisions only inside the nose. This type of cut prevents scarring, but limits the doctor's ability to manipulate cartilage and create your ideal look. In an open rhinoplasty, the surgeon creates the incision at the base of the columella, the tissue that sits between your nostrils. By doing so they are able to lift the skin off the cartilage and obtain a better view of your nose’s structure. This technique is more time consuming, but allows them to add or reduce cartilage with more precision. Open rhinoplasties often have a better clinical result. Doctor Gale usually performs open rhinoplasties.
Doctor Gale performs his surgeries at the ENT Center of Utah Surgery Center, Riverton Hospital, and Intermountain Medical Center. These medical facilities are ideally located if you want a Rhinoplasty in Riverton UT and Salt Lake City, UT. On the day of your surgery, you will meet with your doctor one last time to answer any last-minute questions and resolve any concerns. Doctor Gale is known for being easy to talk to and will put you and your family or friends at ease.
Before the procedure, you will receive either local anesthetic with sedation, or general anesthetic. If you are adding mass to your nasal area or correcting a previous surgery, Doctor Gale may use your rib or a donor's rib. His goal is to create a structurally sound nose that will last a lifetime. Function and safety are his top priorities.
Rhinoplasty surgery itself usually takes between one and a half to three hours when the doctor does not combine it with another procedure. When the operation is over, you will wake up in the recovery room. Be sure to bring a close family member or friend to drive you home.
What is Recovery from a Rhinoplasty Like?
Your doctor will place a cast and splints inside your nose that may make you feel as though you have a cold. These splints will remain in place for a week to maintain the new structure of your nose as it heals. Doctor Gale is dedicated to seeing you through your recovery process to ensure that you are happy with the results. You will meet with him to check on your nose after one week, one month, three months, six months, and finally one year following surgery.
You should avoid strenuous activity, extreme facial expressions, and anything that might put pressure on your nasal passages for the first month after surgery. You cannot use eyeglasses on your nose for the first month, but you can get around this by taping them to your cheek or forehead.
Results
Most of the swelling from a rhinoplasty procedure will go down within the first few weeks. It may take many months before the final shape of your nose reveals itself. As you recover, you will continue to meet with Doctor Gale. If there are any issues of concern, you can bring them up with him during this time.
Rhinoplasty in Riverton UT and Salt Lake City, UT
If you want a rhinoplasty that's both functional and beautiful, consult Doctor Derrick Gale of the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Utah. His Riverton practice is conveniently located 30 minutes away from downtown Salt Lake City. His expertise as an ENT with specialized training in facial surgery makes him the ideal choice for a rhinoplasty. If you have any questions, or want to schedule an appointment, you can contact the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Utah. We look forward to meeting you!
ROGAINE AND PROPECIA FOR HAIR LOSS - NEWPORT BEACH, CA
What Medications Slow Hair Loss?
When it comes to hair loss, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Though hair transplant surgeries like FUE or FUT can create a new hairline from scratch, you don’t have to wait until you’re bald before you take action. You can prevent hair loss, and even reverse it, with oral and topical medications like Propecia and Rogaine. Doctor Christopher Varona in Newport Beach, CA has over ten years of experience helping patients achieve their hair growth goals through both invasive and non-invasive treatments. He knows the positive impact that a full head of hair can have on a patient’s psychological well-being.
Do Medications Really Work?
Medications like Propecia and Rogaine can have a clinically significant impact on your hair growth. Studies have demonstrated that oral Propecia slows hair loss in 88% of men, and helps new hair grow for 66%. These statistics make Propecia the most effective oral treatment on the market today. Additionally, Propecia is one of the few medications to receive the FDA’s stamp of approval.
In 1988, Rogaine (clinically known as Minoxidil) became the first FDA approved drug to fight male pattern baldness. One study reported that men who used the 5% strength of the topical hair growth drug for five months saw more hair growth than those who used either a 2% solution or a placebo. The results are clear: Rogaine can substantially improve your hairline. These studies prove that hair loss medications can make a noticeable difference.
H1: Which Medications Are the Most Effective?
The most clinically effective medications for preventing and reversing hair loss are Propecia (Finasteride) and Rogaine (Minoxidil), both of which are FDA approved. If you are a woman whose hair loss stems from a hormonal imbalance, a testosterone-blocking medication like spironolactone can also help.
H2: Is Propecia Right For Me?
Propecia is an oral medication that stops hair loss at its source by preventing your body from converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair loss. DHT ruins your hair by binding to its follicles and causing them to wither, weaken, and die. Researchers note that taking only 1 mg of Propecia daily can reduce scalp DHT by up to 60%, with higher doses blocking up to 70%. Long story short: taking Propecia lowers DHT and prevents future hair loss.
Propecia requires a doctor’s prescription and is only cleared for use by men. You should expect to see results within 3-4 months of starting Propecia. Success with Propecia is dependent on your taking it every day, and if you discontinue its use, your hair will begin to fall out again. Though Propecia can cause new hair growth for many individuals, it is not guaranteed. If you want to achieve more immediate and noticeable hair growth, you should consider PRP Therapy a hair transplant surgery.
H2: Is Rogaine Right For Me?
If you do not want to commit to taking an oral pill daily, Rogaine can still give you similar results. Rogaine is a topical treatment that you apply to the scalp in the form of a liquid or foam. Unlike Propecia, this hair loss medication and is cleared for use by both men and women.
You can combine Rogaine with Propecia and other treatments like hair transplant surgery or PRP Therapy to deliver faster, more visible results. You should expect to see new growth within four months of beginning Rogaine treatment. Don’t take Rogaine if you have a history of heart disease, or are currently pregnant. Side effects can include scalp irritation, headaches, and changes in your hair color or texture.
H1: Other Non-Surgical Solutions
If you aren’t ready to undergo surgery, your non-invasive options aren’t limited to medication. Doctor Varona also offers PRP therapy in his office in Newport Beach, CA. In PRP therapy, Doctor Varona will extract the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your blood by placing a sample into a centrifuge. PRP contains a growth factor, which helps you heal. Doctor Varona injects the PRP solution into your scalp, encouraging skin cell turnover and stimulating the hair follicles.
H1: Schedule Your Appointment with Doctor Varona
You don’t need to wait until your hair falls out. You can take preventative steps to stop and reverse hair loss today by scheduling an appointment with Doctor Varona and his team in Newport Beach, CA. You can call us at 949-631-4247 or send us a message online. We will be sure to get back to you promptly!
