More Millennials Using PTO for Zzzs

More Millennials Using PTO for Zzzs

Millennials are leading the trend of employees who use their PTO to knock out.


More millennials are using paid time off (PTO) not to take a trip, but to catch up on sleep.

Amerisleep surveyed 1,200 Americans and found that they use their paid time off to recharge. For almost half, they revealed they have called out of work just for some extra hours of beauty rest.

According to the mattress retailer’s survey results obtained by Athletech News, 43% of millennials use up that precious PTO time for some days of rest. Over a third also shared that they prioritize vacations where they can primarily sleep the corporate burnout away.

However, the trend may lean more toward those with higher incomes. Those earning six-figure salaries were 26% more likely to use PTO to snooze than those earning below that level. This finding suggests that these more consuming roles lead to actual exhaustion in these employees. On average, they use up about two to three vacation days strictly to recharge from their work responsibilities.

This phenomenon mainly affects the millennial generation, particularly those in mid-career who may take on more managerial positions. As for those in their early careers, like Gen-Z, or the C-suite, such as Gen-X and baby boomers, they have much lower rates of using PTO for sleep purposes. The report reveals that only 20% of baby boomers actually take time off to lounge around, with Gen-Z and Gen-X accounting for 33% and 34%, respectively.

Millennials are also stuck in a difficult place, as their home responsibilities pile up alongside their professional ones. Many in this age group are also reckoning with caring for their kids and the elderly adults in their lives, adding unique stressors to their everyday lives.

In light of this, millennials are also more inclined to take a vacation primarily to rest. In the age of wellness, more businesses are catering to the work burnout crowd. Sleep-focused hotels are soothing guests’ exhaustion by prioritizing the “rest” part of relaxation.

Amerisleep also reported a 95% increase in Google searches for “wellness travel.” This also extended to searches for “sleep resort” and “sleep vacation.” Those relatively new terms have seen a 30% increase in the past two years.

While millennials have a desire to beat burnout by taking much-needed days off for rest, they are driving a new trend of leisure that prioritizes sleep above all else.

Laila Ali Enters The ‘Chatter’ On Claressa Shields’ $15M Boxing Match Offer

Ali remained coy on if she will step back into the ring to fight Shields.


Laila Ali has spoken, and it’s clear the ongoing feud between her and Claressa Shields stands.

Ali shared her thoughts on the proposed boxing match against Shields, who recently told tabloids that the former had declined her $15 million offer to enter the ring. Ali talked about the “chatter” surrounding the lofty offer, but wanted to keep her opponent’s image off her page. The Neighborhood Talk shared clips of all the back-and-forth conversations surrounding this suggested fight.

“Now, there was recently a lot of talk about me possibly making a comeback to boxing. There was even a $15 million challenge, and a whole lot of chatter,” explained Ali, seemingly referencing Shields’ public proposition.

“A whole lot has been said, except I didn’t get in the conversation until now.”

The daughter of Muhammad Ali continued, “Well, I have made time in my schedule, just like I said I would, to address this. And you know what, I don’t even want this person’s image on my page. So I want you to go to this page, because I’m going to be dropping my response very, very soon.”

However, instead of giving fans a straight answer, Ali kept poking fun at the situation. She told her followers that she runs her show, and she will let them know about her comeback on her time.

“Now to answer the question that I know many of you who are poking around waiting for me to give you an answer, the answer is yes… I am going to answer your question when I’m good and ready to do it. Because you know what, nobody calls shots on me. I do things when and how and where I like to do them.”

Ali also re-posted a new diss track that has fans in an uproar for its attacks on the fellow female boxing champion. The song, rapped by another woman named Geisha305, directly shaded Shield’s controversial relationship with rapper Papoose. Her personal life even prompted another beef with Papoose’s ex and fellow rapper, Remy Ma.

As tensions rise between the two female boxing champions, Shields spoke on Ali’s latest response to the proposal. The Flint native asserted that Ali seemed scared to face her, especially as she secured the number Ali suggested to step into the ring.

“Laila [Ali] and her representative told us ‘No,'” expressed Shields. And that’s fine. I have no problem with that, I’m not upset. I wouldn’t fight me either…I understand that she’s scared. I’m moving on.”

She continued, “I got plenty of girls who I can fight. I can make plenty of championships…I can go up, I can go down. I mean, it’s not a big deal, you know.”

Both women reign as two of the greatest boxing champions of all time. Currently, they hold undefeated records and multiple titles, making their match-up a highly anticipated fight, if it ever comes into fruition. In Shields’s eyes, if the $15 million check did not make Ali lace up her gloves, then she’s moving on.

She further stated, “I thought that she was about all that talk. She wanted 15 million. I went and got to 15 million, and now it’s all this backpedaling. So, you know, congrats to her and whatever she’s doing, but I’m moving on with my career, and I’m happy that she said no, I really didn’t want to put the paws on her anyway.”

Women In U.S. Have Limited Access To Less Expensive, Invasive Breast Cancer Treatment

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved IORT in 1999.


Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) costs cancer patients less time and money in treatment and is less invasive compared to traditional radiation treatments for breast cancer. Access, however, is limited in the United States.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved IORT in 1999. It’s a treatment that involves just a single dose of radiation to a patient’s breast tissue after surgery, compared to whole or partial breast radiation treatments that often require multiple sessions and more money.

IORT is not recommended for every breast cancer patient.  It’s an excellent option for candidates who are postmenopausal with an early-stage diagnosis, very small tumors, and no evidence of lymph node involvement.

Breast surgeons, however, tell NBC News that it’s harder to find IORT treatment options in the United Staets because it cuts into the revenue of doctors and hospitals who make a ton of money from traditional radiation treatments.

Breast Cancer Treatment: IORT Vs. Radiation

Radiation oncologists who perform IORT reportedly receive $525 per treatment, far less than the $1,300 they receive when performing whole breast radiation with five sessions and the $1,730 generated by 15 sessions, according to Medicare estimates from 2022. The benefits for hospitals and doctors don’t end there—patients also have to pay facility fees with each visit.

It’s important to note that breast cancer surgeons receive the same amount regardless of IORT treatments, whole breast irradiation, or partial irradiation.

While IORT has similar long-term survival outcomes and eliminates the potential for burns on the skin and life-threatening damage to the heart and lungs, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) does not recommend it for patients outside of clinical trials. One issue, according to ASTRO, is the recurrence rate. Research indicates slightly higher cancer recurrence rates when compared to those who undergo whole breast irradiation.

But countries such as Europe, South America, and Asia have been using IORT for more than two decades.

“This is about money and greed,” Dr. Phillip Ley, the director of oncology services at Merit Health Surgical Oncology, told NBC News.

Class Is In Session: Mickey Factz To Teach ‘The Art Of The MC’ At NYU Clive Davis Institute

Factz already has his own school for hip-hop lyricism.


Mickey Factz has been hired as an adjunct professor for the Clive Davis Institute at New York University. The Bronx rapper will make his professorial debut with “The Art of the M.C.” class, succeeding Black Thought of The Roots.

According to a press release, the course will break down the elements of being a masterful emcee, a journey Factz knows firsthand.

“It’s an honor to continue the legacy of MCs that preceded me to teach at the Clive Davis Institute,” he said. “I will be bringing my expertise, wealth of knowledge and mentoring to a historic space such as NYU. I want to acknowledge the incredible faculty at NYU for their support, as well as my friend Shawn Setaro for his words of recommendation. Long Live Lyricism. Class is in session. Literally.”

NYU students will learn about the history and philosophies of hip-hop as a musical movement and rap as a craft. Dissecting authentic artistry, performance, and lyricism, the seven-week course will also provide a firsthand look into the nuanced work of becoming a certified MC. The class will function as a workshop, enabling students to delve deeper into song structure and analysis, freestyle development, and stage command.

The 2009 XXL Freshman class alumnus has become a household name in the hip-hop community for his dynamic lyricism and academic prowess in the genre. Aside from collaborations with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and other rap heavyweights, the acclaimed battle rapper went on to produce three albums and a plethora of mixtapes throughout his decades-long career.

Here’s Why Georgia Voters Are Surprised By Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Support Of The Obamacare Subsidies Expansion

In Greene’s 14th District, where she secured 65% of the reelection vote, 74,000 people receive coverage through ACA, with close to all of them getting tax credits to assist in lowering their monthly premiums.


Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is making headlines for seemingly going against her GOP colleagues and supporting Democrats to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, which is turning heads among her rural constituents, CBS News reports.

Greene, a vocal critic of the Democrats known for her loyalty to President Donald Trump, revealed how the voters who elected her feel about the government shutdown, going into its 16th day. Many live in a deep-red territory, where Trump received 70% of the vote during the 2024 presidential election.

“I’m getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren’t going to be able to have health insurance,” Greene said during a CNN interview. “They’re going to have to drop it.”

She said calls received are from those on ACA and those experiencing general issues with health insurance, something Greene wants her colleagues on both sides of the aisle to realize as they battle to reopen the government on Capitol Hill. Some Republican voters and colleagues say she is abandoning conservative values, but not everyone agrees.

“She understands what she can do and can’t do, and she understands where you just sometimes need to be practical,” vice chair of the Floyd County (GA) Republican Party David Guldenschuh said. “We do need to supplement the premiums. I think she’s looking out for her constituents. We can’t just let premiums double for those who are using it.”

In Greene’s 14th District, where she secured 65% of the reelection vote, 74,000 people receive coverage through the ACA, with close to all of them getting tax credits to assist in lowering their monthly premiums. In Rome, Georgia, Greene’s position has gotten mixed reviews.

“I think it’s recognizing who is voting for you,” resident Sara Rogers said. “If you’re agreeing with policies that support the people who live in your area, then people are more likely to re-elect you.”

Danny Grissom feels that as long as it’s Americans she’s fighting for, he is on board. “Sounds like she’s trying to look after the little guy,” he said. “As long as it’s Americans we’re talking about saving money for, and not giving our money away.”

Her stance on her entire party has changed, especially toward her male counterparts, calling them “weak” amid the shutdown and the lack of movement in releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. Greene stood up for other vocal women on Capitol Hill, saying that many men of the Republican Party are intimidated.

“There’s a lot of weak Republican men, and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” Greene said, according to The Hill. “So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women who actually want to do something and actually want to achieve.”

In a turn of events, Greene’s statements have been praised by some Democrats such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY) But one isn’t buying her change of heart to its full extent.

“We actually discussed that Marjorie was flipping on this because it seems like everything important, this child ain’t read the bill and has no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why Georgia keeps sending her to D.C.,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said during an MSNBC interview. “But this is not the first time that she wasn’t quite clear on what damage it was that her party was ushering in, but listen, I will take her seeing the light at any point in time.”

Wendy Osefo Resigns As Professor At Wesleyan University After Fraud Charges

'Contrary to recent media reports, Dr. Wendy Osefo was not terminated from a faculty position at Wesleyan University,' a rep for Osefo told People.


Dr. Wendy Osefo has resigned from Wesleyan University following her recent arrest on felony fraud charges.

The Real Housewives of Potomac star and political commentator was thrilled to announce her role as Distinguished Visiting Professor at Wesleyan during a November 2024 interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE. Less than a year later, Osefo confirmed she had voluntarily stepped down from the position, clarifying that she was not fired.

“Contrary to recent media reports, Dr. Wendy Osefo was not terminated from a faculty position at Wesleyan University,” a rep for Osefo told People. She formally submitted her letter of resignation prior to any public announcement made by the university.”

Osefo, 41, who taught a “Sociology of Reality TV” course, chose to resign after she and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested in Westminster, Maryland, on Oct. 9. A grand jury indicted the couple on charges including insurance fraud, conspiracy to commit insurance fraud, and making a false statement to police officers.

“Dr. Osefo made the voluntary decision to step down from her role. This decision was made independently and communicated directly to the university before any external reports surfaced,” the statement said.

Wesleyan also released a statement on Oct. 14 confirming that Osefo “is no longer an employee” at the school and “resigned from her position.”

The resignation came after reports from a Bravo fan page indicated that an email from Wesleyan announced that Osefo’s course would no longer be taught by her and would instead be led by Associate Professor Courtney Patterson-Faye.

The couple posted $50,000 bail each and were released on Friday, Oct. 10.

Their arrest followed an investigation into insurance claims they filed over a supposed home robbery, in which they reported $2,500 in building damage and $450,000 in stolen property. Authorities discovered multiple claims for the same items, some allegedly stolen items that had been purchased and returned for a full refund. Social media photos showed Wendy wearing the wedding band they claimed was stolen.

During their arrest, police searched the couple’s home and recovered several items listed in the claims. Police noted in their report that Wendy and Eddie appeared to be “burdened by substantial debt.”

How The Blood Test That Screens 50 Types Of Cancers Could Be A Game-Changer For Black Patients 

Scientists hope the test can soon be given once a year to patients over the age of 50 as another form of cancer screening.


A new blood test known to detect 50 types of cancer is taking the healthcare industry by storm as it could help bring the numbers down of unknown cases for all patients, including African Americans, The Times reported. 

Galleri, developed by the American pharmaceutical firm Grail, is designed to detect small fragments of tumor DNA potentially found in the blood to locate cancer well before symptoms begin. Scientists hope the test can soon be administered annually to patients over age 50 as another form of cancer screening.

Former chief executive of Cancer Research UK and Grail’s president of international business and biopharma, Sir Harpal Kumar, says the test can save a “substantial number of lives.” 

With testing starting in the United Kingdom, Kumar was hopeful that the UK would be the first country to introduce the system nationally, as he describes the disease as a global burden. “Cancer is already a huge burden on the National Health Service (NHS). It’s already a huge burden on society. It’s a huge burden economically, and it’s going to go up by a third over the next 15 years,” Kumar said. 

“If you look at international comparisons, we’ve known for 20 years or more that our survival rates are not as good as other countries with which it’s reasonable to compare; countries like Australia, Canada, the Nordic countries and so on. The good news about that is survival rates are improving everywhere; the bad news is we’re not closing the gap.”

Data shows screenings are pivotal to early detection, especially in demographics where the disease is prevalent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black people have a higher rate of being diagnosed and dying from different forms of cancer. In comparison to white people, Black people are more likely to be diagnosed with breast, lung, and colorectal cancers at a late stage, as the disease is more difficult to treat after it spreads to other parts of the body. 

With colorectal cancer being one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, the disease continues to take more lives in the Black community than any other demographic in the U.S., with mortality rates staying steady at approximately 20% and 30% higher for Black individuals than their white counterparts. 

There is hope that Galleri can help these numbers go down. The test is being worked on for over 140,000 NHS patients between the ages of 50 and 77, with results due in 2026. But so far, the data from 36,000 U.S. adults has found that the test outperformed other screenings. Warning signals of cancer were found in 43% of patients. The test also ruled cancer out in 99.5% of people who did not have it, and identified the organ or tissue where the disease came from in 88% of cases. 

While research revealed annual blood tests for early signs of cancer could prevent roughly half of the cases reaching advanced stages, scientists are still trying to figure out if simple blood tests are practical in picking up cancer before symptoms appear—and if they improve survival rates.

From Eight Months To Eight Days: How A Black-Owned AI Company Is Transforming Learning And Development

Most corporate training programs follow a long, linear process.


By: Karine Bah Tahe

In today’s rapidly evolving business world, one of the biggest challenges facing leaders is keeping their people ready for change. Traditional corporate training programs often take six to eight months to develop. By the time they’re deployed, employees are already behind, leaving organizations to pay the price in stalled productivity, outdated skills, and higher turnover.

This October, during Productivity Month, the question is more urgent than ever: How can companies move faster, smarter, and more effectively when it comes to talent development? The answer is artificial intelligence.

At Oasis Learning AI, we’re proving that corporate training no longer needs to take eight months; it can be built in just eight days. We partner with organizations such as Fortune 500 companies, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, and other global leaders to deliver programs that are faster, smarter, hyper-personalized, and seamlessly integrated into their existing systems. The result: a minimum of 70% in efficiency gains, higher employee engagement, and measurable business impact.

Most corporate training programs follow a long, linear process. Once a need is identified, months are spent on needs analysis, content creation, reviews, and deployment. By the time a course is ready, the material can already be outdated. This lag creates significant business risks: outdated content, disengaged employees, missed opportunities for innovation, and higher turnover due to a lack of timely development support. Through AI technology, we’re redefining the speed and scale of training. By automating and optimizing each stage of course creation, companies can reduce development time from eight months to just eight days, a 95% reduction. Businesses can seamlessly integrate this technology with existing systems, file storage, and other AI tools. It doesn’t just accelerate content creation—it enhances quality, consistency, and alignment with business goals. 

One-size-fits-all training no longer works. Today’s global workforce demands learning experiences that reflect diverse roles, regions, and cultures. This tech enables hyper-personalized learning journeys, whether that means bilingual compliance training for teams in Québec or role-specific simulations for customer service representatives in Texas. The AI also adapts to different learning styles, generating podcasts, microlearning modules, or videos depending on what best suits the audience. This flexibility ensures that learning feels personal, relevant, and impactful, no matter where an employee sits in the world.

Many fear that AI will replace jobs. AI actually empowers teams to focus on strategy and creativity rather than repetitive administrative tasks. By handling the heavy lifting, such as needs analysis, collaborations, formatting, and content tagging, AI allows L&D professionals to concentrate on what matters most: aligning learning with business outcomes and fostering human growth. AI also expands access to professional development, making training more equitable across organizations. When learning content can be built in days instead of months, more employees can benefit, especially those in regions or roles that have traditionally been underserved.

The era of generic, one-size-fits-all training is over. The future belongs to organizations that embrace AI-powered personalization to deliver better performance, faster skill readiness, and higher employee satisfaction.

At Oasis Learning AI, our mission is simple yet profound: to unlock human potential through smarter, faster, and more inclusive learning processes with technology that empowers teams. By giving learning teams the freedom to focus on innovation and employees the tools to thrive, we are building a future where corporate training keeps pace with the speed of business.

For Fortune 500 leaders and global organizations, the choice is clear. Embracing AI in learning and development today will set the benchmark for productivity, performance, and innovation in the years ahead.

Karine Bah Tahe is the CEO and co‑founder of Oasis Learning AI, a company using artificial intelligence to streamline learning & developmentworkflows, reduce complexity, and accelerate training creation.
