While it is true that formula takes longer to digest and hence stays in a baby's stomach longer, this unfortunately does not translate into more sleep for the mother. A research published in Pediatrics by West Virginia University discovered that whether mothers gave their newborns breast milk, formula, or a combination of the two, they all received the same amount of sleep and felt similarly pooped.

In 2016, a Ukrainian aero-engineer unveiled a system that would allow pilots to eject the cabin of a plane if the engine failed. After ejection, parachutes would be deployed to safely lower passengers to the ground. However, as it turns out, most crashes are not caused by engine failure. Because problems typically occur during takeoff and landing, the pilots would have very little time to successfully eject the cabin and save passengers. But kudos for your effort!
