Cristina Lapis saw bears being mistreated and used to attract customers at restaurants in Romania. This inspired her to create a bear sanctuary in 2005 called Libearty Bear Sanctuary on 160 acres of land, where she rescues bears and provides them care. The sanctuary is managed by Lapis' organization and aims to improve treatment of bears in Romania.

2. In 1998 a Romanian woman, Cristina Lapis, saw 3
bears in a small cage outside a restaurant in
central Romania where they were used to attract
customers. She later found more bears used in a
similar way in other areas of the country. Her
dream was to rescue these distressed animals and
to change public attitudes to stop this cruel and
illegal exploitation of one of Romania’s magnificent
native animals.
Then her dream became true and she created the
Libearty Bear Sanctuary in 2005. The land for the
sanctuary has160 acres (70 hectares) of oak and
hazel forest. The day-to-day management of the
bear sanctuary, including the rescue and care of
the bears and all general maintenance around the
sanctuary is undertaken by Cristina Lapis’s
organisation.

3. II. Home Remedies
(Insomnia)

4. Your body “needs a buffer between the day’s
stress and the night’s rest.” A light snack, a
warm bath or light exercise (for example,
yoga poses) can all help you erase the day’s
stress. If you toss and turn or wake up during
the night and can’t fall back to sleep, get out
of bed. “Do anything that is relaxing,
moderately boring, or doesn’t require
concentration. Usually it will take 15 to 20
minutes for your body to feel sleepy again, at
which point you can return to the bedroom."
To be fully awake and energized all day, you’ll
probably have to add an hour to your current
sleep schedule, Maas says.
