Read More »Struggling to get a good night's sleep? We've all been there, and when you're struggling with insomnia, you'll try anything in the bid to get some decent shut-eye. And the good thing is there's no shortage of expert-approved sleep hacks to try: there's the 4-7-8 technique, the military sleep method, cognitive reshuffling – and now, a US doctor on Instagram has gone viral for sharing a lifestyle trick that could help us sleep more soundly. Dr. Jess Andrade recently caught the attention of thousands of people after her Instagram reel explaining "sleep hygiene basics" took off online. In the video, Dr. Andrade introduces the "10-3-2-1-0 Method", a step-by-step guide on how to prepare yourself for a night of optimal sleep throughout the day. She begins by giving us news that some of us coffee lovers may not take too well: you shouldn't have any caffeinated drinks ten hours before you plan on going to bed. "Caffeinated drinks will clear from the blood stream in around 10 hours and eliminate the stimulatory effects," she wrote in the caption, explaining the first step. She then went onto the second point of the method, telling us that "finishing eating big meals or alcohol three hours before can help reduce symptoms of reflux and alcohol impairs your natural sleep cycle reducing good quality sleep" - a fact you've probably heard but chosen to ignore a few times before. Around two hours before hitting the hay, Dr. Andrade suggested relaxing the brain stopping any tasks or work-related things and saving it for the next day to give yourself a mental rest. Finally, she said that reducing your use of electronics and screen time an hour before bed is essential to getting good quality sleep as the blue light disrupts the body’s natural sleep cycle. The "0" then stands for the amount of times you'll need to hit the snooze button in the morning as you'll be well rested and ready to conquer the day.

July 8, 2021 -- Humans have a sixth sense that most of us aren't using, but could learn to. Some people who are blind have already figured out how to tap into this, in much the same way dolphins navigate underwater and bats find their way in pitch darkness. And it is only a matter of time before others figure out how to do this too, scientists say. Our five senses -- sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch -- help us understand and perceive the world around us. But according to two recent studies, people can tap into a so-called sixth sense and learn how to navigate through darkness when our eyesight can't break through. Dolphins and some other animals use a biologic sonar, called echolocation, to get around even when dim, murky waters prevent them from seeing. Bats seem to sense sound as it bounces off obstacles as they fly unhindered through dark spaces. "People passively use echolocation all the time," according to Lore Thaler, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Durham University in the United Kingdom.
