Here we are Monday. Feeling a little tired from the weekend? Need that boost from a cup of coffee?
Good news for anyone running on fumes. A new preclinical study found that caffeine reversed sleep deprivation-related deficits in synaptic plasticity and social memory — at least in animal models. Not a license to skip sleep, but nice to know there's help when you do.

How did I miss the American Music Award nominations???
Taylor Swift — the top winner in the history of the American Music Awards, with 40 trophies — leads the nominations for the 2026 AMAs with eight nods. Morgan Wallen, Olivia Dean, Sabrina Carpenter and sombr are runners-up with seven nods. Alex Warren and Lady Gaga each received six nods.
With eight nods, Swift is likely to pull even further ahead of the pack for most AMA wins. Michael Jackson is currently in second place with 24 wins, followed by Alabama with 23 and Whitney Houston with 21.
Justin Bieber, who has four nominations this year, is also in position to move up the all-time AMA leaderboard. He has won 18 awards. If he wins just one award this year, he’ll tie Kenny Rogers for the second-most wins among male artists.

Today’s Useless Fact of the Day - Today would have beenCasey Kasem’s Birthday! Besides American Top 40, he voiced Shaggy Rogers in the "Scooby-Doo" franchise from 1969 to 1997 and again from 2002 to 2009, and Robin in several animated series, including "Super Friends" and "The Batman/Superman Hour."
As Casey would say, "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."
