By Matt Patches, Hollywood Staff
Director Uwe Boll has struggled to find audiences for his controversial films. He started his career with critically-panned video game movies like House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, and Bloodrayne before shifting his crosshairs to topical subject matters. In 2009, he adapted his bloody genre aesthetic for a film about the genocide in Darfur. In 2011, he did the same for the horrors of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz.
This week, Boll releases his next pointed piece of cinema: Assault on Wall Street. Dominic Purcell stars as Jim, a blue collar New Yorker who loses everything in the 2008 financial crisis. As Wall Street bankers shred every bit of evidence of their wrongdoings, Jim watches as his life is destroyed. Witnessing his wife lose a battle with cancer pushes him over the edge, and Jim decides to pick up a few guns and deliver bloody payback aimed at the suits that wronged him.
Striking controversy is Boll's objective. The German director wants Assault on Wall Street to wake up audiences to the fact that they're being swindled by the political system and provoke them to take action. But he knows he's fighting a losing battle against his past. Will anyone take him seriously in a world where Argo (what he calls ''an advertising [movie] for the C.I.A.'') wins top prizes at the Oscars?
We sat down with Boll to hear him out. Read on for a boatload of contentious opinions on Wall Street, gun control, Hollywood, and his filmmaking career:
Hollywood.com: Many of your films have relied on over-the-top action but Assault on Wall Street strikes me as a calmer film.
Uwe Boll: I wrote it and I really wanted to show the deconstruction of a human being in the financial crisis fallout. I had the feeling if I make this more like Rampage, I lose all possibilities that people take it really seriously. That stuff like this can really happen. So I decided to go into the details and try and tell a love story. Unusual for my movies.
Did the financial situation in America rile you up on a personal level?
Boll: Look, everything that happened in the bailout they lifted off everything we ever learned about economy. Especially the people who always talk about free trade. 'No socialism.' Then they pump all the tax payers money in savings and investment banks. The consequences of the bailouts were written on the wall from all financial experts. They said, 'You have to regulate the baking systems.' If you have $5000 in your checking account, it can not be that they are on the hook if the investment side of the bank is gambling and losing money. It can not be! So they have to divide it up. The normal, classical banking - mortgages, normal loans, deposits - can not be infected by the casino, basically.
It didn't happen. It's still the same like it was before. They make the profits still because the stock market exploded from cheap money from the feds. They get the money for free! This is the thing that is crazy. All experts say we're in another balloon. But next time, there will be no bailout. You can't say, 'We print another $5 trillion,' then we file for bankruptcy five minutes after the bailout because no one can pay that back. It's so obvious they had to do self-regulations and they didn't.
Do you feel that Hollywood has properly taken the government to task over the bailouts? Is Assault on Wall Street your response to that? It exudes anger.
Boll: Exactly. Too Big to Fail, Margin Call - I like those movies, but the brokers and the politics are in the middle. There's no normal guy who makes $50,000 a year in those movies. Wall Street 2 was a complete failure because it doesn't show the age of greed on Wall Street. It just shows Josh Brolin (who played [George W.] Bush in another [Oliver] Stone movie [laughs]), being one bad guy saving it all with his stupidity. I love Wall Street but the second was a good looking insult. So I wanted to make a movie where a guy holds people accountable because no one else is doing it.
Was extreme violence an essential part of getting that message across?
Boll: When I cast the movie, many agents said, 'Oh, my actor can not play that. He's just shooting too many people. He can only shoot one or two.' And I said, 'No, it has to be the system.' Like in the beginning, when the guy says 'dump the certificates' and the whole broker room start dumping. They know they've damaged the clients and they don't go to the feds and they're happy and they know they've destroyed peoples' lives. I think this is important that he goes against everybody. If people who watch the movie are feeling uncomfortable in their seats, on Wall Street, I've reached my goal. 'Oh, maybe I should have bodyguards.'
That's a bold wish.
Boll: It's absurd. We have so many people running amok for absolutely no reason, like the Batman screening. Then you have absolutely 100,000 reasons to go after the bankers and nobody did it so far. It's obvious.
Movies are often accused of promoting violence as a solution to life's problems. Though that's Assault on Wall Street's goal. Did you consider those acts of gun violence when making this film?
Boll: I think movies are there for this. To be a catalyst. To show what you want to do but can't do for real. My idea with guns is don't sell it to people under 30. I'm not pro-someone randomly gets a gun. I know how hard it is to change things in America. But it would omit 17-year-old psychopaths from running amok. In Canada, where I live, there are guns everywhere and no one runs amok. It's not a movie about gun control. This guy is able to get a gun and he goes for it.
I feel like you attempted to stick it to the man before with Darfur. Was that a success?
Boll: I think Darfur is an excellent movie. I think it's so brutal that most of the people can't watch it. It's like, 'Oh f**k, I have to switch it off.' Children being impaled, mass rapes, everything. I did it on purpose because that's exactly what happens in Darfur. I thought, OK if we don't stop the genocide but we have money to go to Iraq here we have facts. I show what's out there. Children being hacked to pieces. 'Oh let's wait another year.' NATO or whatever. The blue helmets or whatever.
I showed it to the German army in a big multiplex in Germany. They got vert emotional about it. Then a big, four star general in Germany said in front of the crowd, 'If something like this happens, it doesn't matter what the order is. Because we're first human beings and have to stop it.' They were surprised he said that. We talked to blue helmets that were there that were not fighting. Why didn't you help? 'We were observing mission.' How absurd.
Why wasn't the movie taken seriously? Does it have to do with the route in which it arrives to America? Do you need the respect of Cannes or Sundance to back it?
Boll: I'm with you. The problem is that if something was said by George Clooney he's everywhere. I say something, nobody cares. Especially with Wall Street. It's the most important subject matter on Earth. There's no bigger subject matter than the bailout crisis. Why will it get on one screen? Why is it not a movie that gets a 250 print release with some real money behind it?
I imagine it's because you're also the guy who made Postal.
Boll: My past haunts me. They don't take it seriously. The guy who made House of the Dead or Alone in the Dark can't be serious as a filmmaker. It's disappointing, but all I can do is keep trying to make movies that matter. At least on DVD or VOD people say, 'Oh wow.' A guy came up to me at the American Film Market and said, 'I'm the Showtime President and I want to tell you that Darfur is the best movie I've ever seen on our channel.' I said, 'Yeah, and you only $40,000!' They know they can lowball you.
A lot of things getting a lot of attention look at Argo and Zero Dark Thirty. These are advertising movies for the C.I.A.. They're good films because they have good actors and they make them properly, but what is the f**king subject matter of Argo? It's a minor case. Who cares about eight people?
But would you be open to making a studio movie like that if given the opportunity?
Boll: That's the thing. I could never do the super patriotic point-of-view. Olympus Has Fallen or White House Down. I could do a big action movie, but it would be a little more balanced. I can not make myself do something where I'm political, where I think, 'This is so wrong. S**t.' The Wall Street 2 I can't do that.
Do video game and genre movies scratch that itch? Hollywood is kind of moving in on your territory now.
Boll: I just got calls that a studio has bought the rights to Far Cry. I lost the rights and they want to do a big, big Far Cry movie. Spent like $5 million on the game rights. I spent $150,000. I bought the rights early when they were developing it and bet on the game being a success. It is what it is. I don't have a problem making a genre movie like Far Cry or Bloodrayne because I don't feel I sell out with it.
Your genre films are also R-rated, which I'm guessing isn't the direction a studio wants to go with most properties.
Boll: What they're doing is all PG-13. Paramount watched Assault on Wall Street and I got an e-mail, 'We love it! This is so good! He kills everybody! But we can never acquire it' [laughs]. There was a point where studios acquired the movies they actually like. People go on the wrong track and constantly release movies that are half-cooked. I watched Jack Reacher on the airplane and it's an OK movie, but I don't even know why that guy shot people in the beginning of the movie. I have no f**king clue why they shot that guy. The whole case doesn't make sense. A lot of the movies coming out are good filmmaking, but without substance.
What's the next genre movie you're making?
Boll: Last December, I shot Suddenly, the remake of the Frank Sinatra movie with Ray Liotta and Dominic Purcell. It's a thriller and plays on one day. I hired an Obama double who almost (or maybe) gets shot in the end. I wanted to do that.
Why the hell would you want to do that?
Boll: Everyone said, 'Don't do it!' But I wanted to do it. I wanted an Obama double. And I was preparing to shoot a movie in India. A thriller about organ trade - but I have huge problems in India. I have tons of Indian guys who want to produce with me and I tell them I want to shoot that movie and they're like, 'Oh f**k!' Because it's real. They want me to come to India and shoot dancing.
I could see you doing a Bollywood movie.
Boll: Where everyone gets shredded in the end.

Those of us who own dogs can usually tell what our dog wants because we spend so much time with them. They're hungry, need to go out, want to play, or don't feel good, but dogs communicate in many different ways and we humans may miss the subtle signs. Did you know that ear position is a way your dog communicates with both dogs and people? Movement of the ears can indicate interest, attention, submission, excitement and more. Dogs indicate their feelings through their eyes, ears, tails, stance, and more. Here's an interesting article from Susan Wright on canine communication.

Everest College's Colorado Springs campus is proud to announce recent Everest College graduate Tracy Willits as its 2012 Dream Award winner. The Dream Award is presented annually to students who have overcome extraordinary challenges to complete their post-secondary education. As a Dream Award winner, Willits will receive a $2,500 Everest College scholarship to pursue an advanced program in his field of study.
Willits began his Computer Information Science program at the Everest College Colorado Springs campus with a different set of obstacles than many of his fellow students. An auto mechanic and single father of four, he was the oldest member of the class and had several other personal and professional responsibilities. Additionally, Willits's formal education had ended in the eighth grade, and while he did earn his GED, he was quick to admit that school had never been his strong point.
Although Willits initially struggled to keep up with the curriculum, what truly defined him was his determination to succeed. After years of enduring life lessons, he understood, perhaps better than anyone, that Everest College was his ticket to a better life. His persistence began to pay off after just one quarter as his grades improved and he became one of the first students in the computer information science program to become an Everest Ambassador, an initiative program that empowers students to become leaders and mentors across the campus.
"Tracy's leadership and enthusiasm are infectious. His efforts and success truly exemplify the attitude we hope to cultivate in each one of our students," said Heidii Godbold, Academic Dean at Everest College's Colorado Springs campus.
As he continued to progress academically, Willits began to see other aspects of his life improve as well. He was selected for a prestigious work-study program at the registrar's office, began volunteering within the community and eventually gained permanent employment as a network technician at Forward Communications. When not working or spending time with his children, who are 16, 14, 11 and 10 years old, Willits continues to volunteer at the Salvation Army, where he performs maintenance and repairs to keep the organization running smoothly.
"Tracy is a great example of what can be accomplished when you do not let the challenges of life get in the way of creating a better future for yourself. The Everest team is proud of Tracy's hard work and dedication and wish him the best as he begins his new career," said Godbold.
Having officially completed his Associate degree in summer of 2012, Willits is eager to continue his education and plans to put the $2,500 scholarship toward earning his bachelor's degree. "I came a long way from where I started," Willits says of his journey at Everest College. "My best advice to anyone who wants to change their life is to try hard and work harder."
About Everest College

A man walks into a bar, and tells the bartender to pour him 12 year old scotch "before the trouble starts."
The bartender pours his drink and quietly moves away.
After finishing his drink, the man calls the bartender back and tells him "pour me 15 year old scotch before the trouble starts."
The bartender thinks this is very strange but pours him the 15 year old scotch.
After finishing that drink, the man tells the bartender to pour him 18 year old scotch "before the trouble starts."
The bartender is becoming a little worried, but pours him the 18 year old scotch.
Before the man finishes his 18 year old scotch, the bartender finally gets up the nerve to ask: "Say friend when is this trouble going to start?"
To which the man replies: "The trouble starts, when you find out that I don't have any money."

Providing access to a high-quality OHIO education for students throughout southeastern Ohio, that's the regional campus mission. Five campuses and three satellite centers help meet that mission.
Students choose to study at a regional campus for a variety of reasons. Many are working full or part-time, some are single parents, others are working to improve their job opportunities. Some simply want to live at home while earning a college degree.
OHIO's regional campus students experience a vibrant, student-centered learning environment. Each campus has its own character, but all provide the excellence in education that is an Ohio University tradition.
Regional campus student have options. They can begin their studies at a regional campus and later relocate to the Athens campus to complete their chosen degree. Or they can complete an entire program of study at the regional campus, graduating with an Ohio University degree.
The campuses' open admissions policy allows Ohio high school graduates to be admitted. All students are commuters. The regional campuses have no residence halls. The campuses also participate in opportunities to dual enroll in high school and college.

The City of Detroit is clawing its way through a financial nightmare. To its credit, the Finance Department is going after every penny that may be owed to the city, but some Detroiters say they're barking up the wrong tree because they've already paid their taxes.
"This can not be real." That's what Fran Ferguson said when she received a bill from the City of Detroit.
"It said that I owed them $3,315 in back taxes for the [years] of 2008, 2009 and 2010," she said, and that was including penalties.
"I was extremely stressed out to the point to where I almost couldn't function at work," Ferguson explained. "I work for a major corporation. They've been taking out taxes for the 14 years that I've worked for them."
She's one of a growing number of Detroiters who say the city sent them notices claiming they owe thousands of dollars in back taxes, taxes they say they've already paid.
Ferguson says one of her friends, a retired Detroit police officer, received a bill and so did a co-worker.
"One of my co-workers sent back the letter and the form with more colors than Skittles' got in a bag," she said.
The city's finance director, Cheryl Johnson, made it clear. Going after unpaid taxes is a big part of the city's effort to get back in the black, and, of course, there are plenty of people who have yet to pay up. In a statement released Tuesday, Johnson says letters were sent to individuals only when Detroit Finance Department records showed that person paid federal or state taxes for a particular year, but did not file a tax return with the City of Detroit.
"For each year I filed the taxes, owed them nothing for '08, '09, and the city owes me $1.00 for 2010, but yet they say I owe them over $600," said Ferguson.
She hasn't seen that dollar, but what she does have is her paperwork proving she doesn't owe a dime. But getting such an outrageous bill is insulting enough.
"I have medical bills and if I hadn't looked up my paperwork, I would be sending off payments, making payment arrangements. That's not right," Ferguson remarked.
The city says the best thing to do in this situation is to make sure that you filed your city tax returns and to make sure that you have proof that you filed them.
If you believe you've received a notice in error, make sure that you contact the city at (313) 224-3330.

Guess I'm odd man out. My liver enzymes shot up and my platelets dropped right after I entered the emergency room due to my bp reading being high. I never had any pain in my abdomen or anything like that. Maybe it was because my liver didnt really start to react until I was already in the hospital and they got on me right away. I wasnt allowed an epidural because my platelet count was too low.
I'm glad to read this post. I was wondering what it would be described like in case something like this happens again.

Simultaneous Installgate 07: 2K Ups BioShock Install Limit, Plans FOV Adjustment PatchBy Chris Remo, Aug 23, 2007 6:24pm PDT With a swathe of announcements sure to send shockwaves reverberating throughout the BioShock internet community, publisher 2K Games has replaced BioShock's initial limit of two simultaneous PC installations with what community manager Elizabeth Tobey calls a "5 by 5 plan."
Under the new terms, users will be able to install the game on up to five computers, with the ability to reinstall the game on each computer up to five times. 2K will release a "revoke app" that should address issues resulting from the original limitations.
In a stunning reversal, 2K also announced plans to release a patch allowing PC users to adjust the game's FOV despite claiming the existing widescreen implementation was by design, as documented in our coverage of Aspect Ratiogate 07. An Xbox 360 patch is under consideration as well.
Prior to today's announcement, resourceful gamer Racer_S took matters into his own hands, applying a digital brand of widescreen vigilante justice and creating an unofficial patch. Tobey tipped her hat to the fan's efforts.
Along with the patch and policy changes, 2K is strengthening its tech support team, and has posted a technical FAQ addressing numerous concerns regarding SecuROM DRM and other issues. The company pledged a more streamlined experience with 2K and SecuROM tech support.
Finally, 2K has fixed its momentarily inactive activation server, allowing those previously unable to finish their game installs to do so.
2K appears to be proactively plugging holes, but Shacknews remains vigilant as Bioshockgate 07 continues to unfold. Stay tuned.

By: bozer x Show Full PostProbably the tenth time Im posting this and it will be the final time. If you uninstall it will automatically deactivate it and you wont lose any of your activations. People that are reformatting their PC's 5 times just need to remember to uninstall it first, like various other forms of software out there.
As someone who only has one PC for gaming, I don't see any problem with this. With pretty much everyone nowdays having broadband, being able to download and pirate games is a big problem and I don't think you should expect devs to not implement some form of anti piracy. With the limit being upped to 5, I guess now I could technically give the game to 5 people and theres goes 5 sales for one of the best games I've ever played. Good luck getting more games on the PC. If they just released it for the 360 they'd have none of these headaches.
Lastly, if theres every a BioShock 2 or whatever the next game is Dahanese is working on, I hope she doesn't come here to answer any of your questions or give you any exclusive info on it.

By: the archvile x Show Full PostLove that FAQ.
SecuROM does not fingerprint the hardware. When an activation is performed, a unique ID is generated to identify the system being used for the activation process... The only data collected is the serial being used for activation, the IP address used for activation, an identifier for the software being activated, and the hash of the machine ID.
See? It doesn't fingerprint the hardware! It... fingerprints the hardware! And sends it out over the intertubes! For a company to catalog, profile, and exploit!
And it's not a rootkit, but it installs a Windows service to allow a non-administrative account to do things that would normally require administrative access, and it inserts Windows Registry keys with embedded nulls, making them undeletable without special tools! Just like a rootkit!

By: Skyburst101 x Show Full PostOk guys, I'd like to get the facts straight. I've been hearing a lot of stuff, and would like someone to clarify things a bit more. Right now, there are a lot of people flaming away, others very confused, and the minority calm.
So, here is what I've come across from the discussions, and please point out whether or not I'm on target with them.
1. You can install Bioshock up to 5 times on a single computer
2. You can install Bioshock up to 5 times on 4 other computers IN ADDITION to the first one
3. Irrational/Boston 2k is working on a "recredit" system so that you can "installation credits" back when you uninstall while connected to the internet, which they are calling a "revoke application"
4. they are releasing a patch so that people may manually adjust the games Field of View, which will greatly benefit widescreen users
5. You have a lot less to worry about than if there was still the "2 installation" limit, which may have caused serious mental harm, and -2 cash flow points due to a semi-annual system format/cleansing, and having to repurchase Bioshock.
Do I have these down correctly, or did I misunderstand/misinterpret a few, such as #3?

Installation of the demo version, like the retail version, includes SecuROM but also creates a number of registry entries which are undeletable even with full administrator rights on Windows, short of a reformat. These entries apparently store DRM information to prevent people from breaking the time limit or engaging in other unauthorized manipulation of the demo version of BioShock.Aug 24, 2007 7:06am PDTWould anyone know if this information from the Wiki is valid?

By: Steamed Pork Bun x Show Full PostPeople should stop making concessions for a game you or others paid full price for. Timed or other limited installs is ridiculous. They're taking drm to the extreme and slowly pulling back and waiting for a pat on the back to set the standard. - "Oh, didn't you hear, 2k upped the install limit from 2 to 5.. Wow, that's awesome!"
Then you have people questioning others as to why they need to install it X number of times in a day or over a period of time or why do you need to format X times a year. You should be questioning 2k as to why they're employing such draconian restrictions to a game that you paid $60 for.
From pcgamer.com
"So I called the Canadian number, which went through. After four minutes on hold, I was told that the only way they'd unlock it is if I take a photo of the disc and the manual and email it to them."
"It's now been more than 24 hours since I sent 2K tech support a photo of my BioShock disc and manual, and I have yet to hear from them about my code being reactivated. Luckily I work in a magical computer game wonderland, and there happened to be an extra copy here.."Aug 24, 2007 7:56am PDT

By: Schnapple x Show Full PostI can think of one more caveat that 2K could give us that would make this all easier to swallow - after some amount of time, the install limits reset.
For example, after 180 days your Windows XP key's activation resets. Yes, this means if you were devious enough then you could use it on another PC in six months but in practice, it just makes it easier for those of us who reformat semifrequently.
In the case of this game, it would alleviate the issues of "oh shit I forgot to uninstall before I wiped my hard drive" because you know it's been six months since the last time you installed, so one of your activations restored itself. And it would still alleviate the piracy issue because how many pirates do you know that could wait six months for something?
Also if SecureROM/2K could make the something-happened-please-contact-us issue automated, like Microsoft did. If you change too much stuff and have to reactivate then you call a number, punch in a bunch of digits you see on screen, then you type in a bunch of numbers that they send back to you. SecureROM/2K can still use this method to track which keys are being overused (in case the whole "release tool" thing gets hacked)Aug 24, 2007 5:17am PDT

By: monofurioso x Show Full PostBioshock's release has actually recovered with some grace. The game was only released two days ago. Any server crunch for Steam purchasers is long gone, an FOV patch is in the works (for those that want it, simmer down), and a 5 current install cap instead of a ridiculous 2 has been achieved. That ain't so bad for 48 hours.
As anathema as the idea of de-authorizing a game might be, 5 concurrent installs & the ability to gain them back as you de-authorize isn't that tough.

The most surprising comments coming from the Democratic National Convention down in Carolina did not come from Presidents Obama or Clinton. Or even former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (click here).
They came from Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, who said President Obama needs to spend more time in Detroit.
That's rich, Dave, because that's exactly what Detroit is saying about you.
The Mirage of Manoogian Manor can just as often be seen in the nail salons and Chinese restaurants in West Bloomfield as he is in the streets of Detroit.
We've got nail salons in the city, Mr. Mayor. In fact, nail salons seem to be the only thing we have left.
Maybe the president won't set foot in Detroit because he knows it's become too dangerous under your watch.
Maybe he heard that Vice President Joe Biden's Secret Service truck was jacked this week one block from the FBI building.
The city is burning. The body count is piling up. The people cry for help. And yet the mayor is mum.
He blames it on everything from the economy to the consent agreement to the city council. But the Sasquatch of City Hall has been in office going on four years. Complete collapse is not much of a record when asking for a second term.
I did a series of stories this week on public safety in the city that I like to call "The Bing Says Nothing Trilogy."
In Part 1, I show how the demoralized police are on virtual strike. Consider that a confessed killer goes to a firehouse to turn himself in. After waiting for hours for a cop to show up and arrest the guy, a firefighter gave the killer eight bucks to catch a cab to a police precinct.
In any other city – and I've worked in a lot of them – City Hall would have been in crisis mode.
In Detroit, we are treated to silence. Cue the crickets.
I felt bad for the firefighter. Bing slashed his pension and paycheck. So as a gesture from all of us in the metropolitan area, I reimbursed him the $8. It's the least we could do.
In Part 2, I told how the city's medics are leaving in droves. And how the wheels literally fell off an ambulance traveling down the highway. The quote from the mayor's office?
In Part 3, I came across an internal memo from the fire commissioner who had his budget cut so much by Bing that he was forced to lay off men and close station houses. Not a good idea in Arson Capital USA.
In need of cash, the commissioner came up with the bright idea of charging outside firefighters -- in search the Detroit experience -- a fee to come here and play big shot with our hoses.
Again, official response: "Nothing to say publicly."
Let me give you a piece of advice, Mr. Mayor. Nothing's not good enough. Not in the middle of a crime wave. Not during an election cycle. Not ever.
Man up. Speak up. Start believing in Detroit and being in Detroit.

We all know that lack of sleep can make us cranky and tired in the morning. Now, experts say that it can also be dangerous to our health.
"Research data now points to the fact that inadequate sleep, broken-down sleep can lead to hormonal changes which will favor the eating of foods that are higher in carbohydrate and also development of obesity and diabetes," said Dr. Ana Krieger, the medical director at the Weill Cornell Center for Sleep Medicine and physician at NY-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She explained that most adults are not getting enough sleep.
Doctors recommend seven to eight hours of sleep each night, but more than a third of working adults get only six.
The food that we eat is also crucial to getting a better night's sleep.
Adam Meisrow, who previously struggled with insomnia and weight gain, has experienced less difficulty sleeping by taking vitamin supplements, nutrient-rich shakes, cutting out starches, and increasing his fresh veggie-intake.
"I have lost 16 pounds and I have a lot more energy," Meisrow said. "And I have far fewer problems in terms of sleep."
For those who need assistance sleeping or find themselves waking up too quickly from a deep sleep, a variety of smartphone apps designed to monitor your deep and light sleep patterns and slowly wake you up are available.
Some poor sleepers have turned other measures such as wearing mouth guards, breathing machines, and even surgery.
However, sometimes a good sleeping position is all you need.
Dr. Krieger recommends that people with sleep apnea avoid sleeping on their backs and people who suffer from acid reflux sleep with their heads elevated.
She also suggests poor sleepers look at correcting their behavior first, by doing things like limiting the amount of caffeine they drink and putting away their tech devices well before trying to fall asleep.
