TikToker Sparks Debate After Discovering His Lotion Might Be Disrupting His Sleep
The clip starts with a closeup of his face and his wet hair, presumably following a shower, with the TikToker looking utterly baffled.
The overlaying text reads:
"Nawwww why is my lotion an energy drink bro I was wondering why I couldn’t fall asleep last night."
He shows us the product he's holding, which is a bottle of Hydrate by G Gentlemen, a "unique Australian Gold Lightweight Ultra-Hydrating DermaDark TM infused Tan Extender/Moisturizer" according to the product's website.
He then flips the bottle over to show the ingredients, only to reveal one of them is *gasp* caffeine.
Here's the clip.
The TikToker explained to The Daily Dot how he felt "stimulated" and "couldn’t sleep" for an hour and a half later than normal.
He continued:
"I didn’t even think to check the lotion, but I noticed the next morning that it had caffeine in it when I randomly checked the ingredients."
However, he still had doubts about the lotion contributing to his sleeplessness.
"But I can’t entirely say it was the caffeine that caused me to stay awake," he added.
Commenters on his TikTok video thought he might be onto something.
Some claimed that their skin benefitted from applying topical caffeine, while others said its effects were too potent.

Others thanked him for the unsolicited recommendation.

All that being said, a blog from Westlake Dermatology refutes the theory that his lotion of choice was responsible for keeping him from getting a full night's sleep.
The entry observes that "caffeinated skin care products have small concentrations of caffeine and therefore are not designed to keep you awake at night."
According to the product detail for Hydrate by G Gentlemen, "The Toning Caffeine Shot works to help energize and tone skin for improved texture and a revitalized complexion."

Bill Nye Just Stomped The Runway At New York Fashion Week—And He Totally Slayed It
In the show, he wore an outfit designed by Thom Browne, a pair of black shorts that hung above the knee, and a navy blue bomber jacket embroidered with Greek gods and goddesses. He completed the outfit with black dress shoes and black crew socks.
Nye walked to the end of the runway, donned a pair of sunglasses and gave the audiences a jaunty salute, before sashaying away with a small step-ball-change dance move in the middle of his walk off.
He nearly lost his sunglasses during a turn he did near the end of his walk.
The chanting of Nye's iconic theme song in the comments was practically audible.

Nye's been notorious over the past decade for participating in some off-the-wall cultural moments.

Still, it's odd to see your after-school science man (or during school, if your teacher was having a bad day) walking a runway.

Naomi Watts Hilariously Details How Billy Crudup Put Her At Ease Their First Time Being Intimate
Watts is currently touring and discussing her book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I'd Known About Menopause, which is part memoir and part guidebook for women entering unprecedented—and largely not-talked-about—territory.
During a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Watts reflected back on the relationship she developed with her now-husband, Billy Crudup, "despite" already starting menopause when they met, and she admitted there were some funny moments while they were getting to know one another.
Crudup and Watts met while filming the 2017 Netflix series Gypsy, during which the pair shared some intimate moments for the show. After a particularly intense scene, they exchanged a glance that made it clear that they both wanted more.
But at a later date when Watts and Crudup were preparing to have sex for the first time, Watts panicked because she was wearing a menopause patch as a form of hormonal therapy, which she'd been using for a few years.
Watts appeared frazzled while reflecting on this, recalling:
"I was mortified because I had my patch on. If anyone's ever worn a patch, you know that they're very sticky, and the adhesive takes ages to get off."
"I excused myself, ran off to the bathroom and panicked, like, 'What am I going to do?' And I was scratching away... I had a couple [gray, gummy outlines] on both sides, but I was taking too long."
"Then I came out, sort of frantic, and he said, 'Are you okay? Are you not in the mood?'"
"I said, 'No, well, look, I'm in menopause, and I have treatment, and I have this patch, and I'm wearing it, and it leaves this... I'm old. Should I just leave?'"
"I was trying my best to apologize, and I was shrinking myself down, and he was like, 'We're the same age. We're the same age. What is this? This is science. How can I help?"
You can watch the scene here:
After the pair further discussed the situation, Crudup made a joke that made the night all the more memorable for Watts.
Since she had shared a "secret," he decided to share one, too.
"Hey, if it makes you feel better, I've got gray hairs on my balls!"
Watts reflected on how the whole interaction made her feel.
"Those, to date, remain the most romantic words I've ever heard, onscreen and off, and that includes the script of every movie I've ever been in, and even this same man's very loving marriage proposal, which came seven years later."
Fans of Watts and Crudup were touched by the interaction, and some cited this as a new standard for men.

Though the moment is a mixture of funny and sweet, it's also such a great example of showing empathy for someone when they're feeling incredibly vulnerable and are unsure what to do.
While this shouldn't have to be a "gold standard" for how someone should behave, it's still nice to see celebrities opening up about these universal issues and showing the kindest ways to go about them.
