Lcated within the beautiful landscape f Wiscnsin's Lake Chippewa lies a natural wnder that pses a unique challenge fr the lcal cmmunity. This hidden wnder is nne ther than a giant flating island. The island, cmpsed f plants and trees, ccasinally flats arund the lake, causing a significant incnvenience by blcking a vital bridge. Later, the lcal peple prpsed a slutin t this prblem.

Lake Chippewa was brn in 1923 when a vast bg( 沼 泽 )was transfrmed thrugh flding. Sn after that, many f the peat( 泥 炭 ) bgs started rising t the surface and became perfect grwing spts fr plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds t this flating place. Over the years, these bgs have grwn plants and trees and turned int full islands. As time ges by, plants take rt, and the ldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blws, mving the entire flating mass arund the lake.
Althugh the decades-ld flating island des nt relcate cnstantly, when it des, it causes truble fr the cmmunity by blcking the vital bridge that serves as the nly passage between the lake's East and West sides.

“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, r ‘sweet spt', fr ttal sleep time where cgnitive perfrmance is stable ver time. Shrt and lng sleep time is assciated with wrse cgnitive perfrmance, "said first authr Brendan Lucey, an assciate prfessr f the Washingtn University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered questin is if we can intervene( 干 预 ) t imprve sleep, wuld that have a psitive effect n their cgnitive perfrmance s they n lnger decline?
