Hi and hello! Cassie here with your daily newsletter today. You probably know that hitting the snooze button isn't the best idea for an energetic start to your day, but did you know why?
According to AmeriSleep, hitting that snooze button for a few extra moments of Zs throws you back into a second REM cycle, or even more depending on how many times you slam that snooze button. After a while, your body's natural sleep cycle becomes thrown off and just doesn't know what to do with the chaos caused by the repeatedly interrupted REM cycles, leading to poor sleep, irritability, inflammation, lack of focus and energy and eventually possible health risks. I don't know about you, but I could stand to work on this bad habit!
Texas judge's ruling on DACA: On Friday, Texas federal judge Andrew S. Hanen ruled against any new DACA applications. I chatted with Ricardo Perez, the Hispanic Affairs Project executive director here in Montrose this morning about the ruling. Perez expressed concerns over the recent ruling, saying that those in the hispanic community are devastated over Hanen's decision. HAP helps over 80 DACA applicants a year and is coordinating with the Colorado Rights Coalition through this new decision.

City council meetings: City councilors are not only holding their regular meeting tonight in City Council Chambers, but will also hold a forum for the public to chat with them before the 6 p.m. meeting.

You can watch the meeting live on zoom or in person in City Council Chambers.
Past and present collide: 52 years ago, Neil Armstrong successfully landed on the moon and uttered the infamous words: That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Today, a team of travelers (Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, 82 year old aviation pioneer Wally Funk and 18 year old Dutch student Oliver Daeman, the youngest ever to visit space) launched into space successfully. The visit was a short one-approximately 10 minutes-but the team enjoyed around three minutes of weightlessness in space before returning to Earth.
The flight is a precursor to more commercial flights to come. While ticket costs have not yet been revealed, a flight on Virgin Galactic's spaceplane is believed to be around $250,000. Bezos' Blue Origin tickets are expected to be considerably more competitive.
