You're not alone.Over time, people have become less mindful about taking breaks as the pressure to be constantly productive has only intensified with every generation. A study by Easy Cater showed that Gen Z feels more guilty about taking breaks than any other generation, with almost half of those surveyed saying that they skip out on lunch breaks on ...
Understanding Nightmares and Dealing With Them Successfully | Dr. Michael Schredl | TEDxHHN
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-19 14:38
Nightmare Overview - Nightmares are dysphoric dreams that cause awakenings, typically occurring in the second part of the night with good recall, differentiating them from night terrors which occur in the first part of the night and are less recallable [2][3][4] - Studies indicate almost everyone experiences nightmares at some point, with 2-5% experiencing them frequently enough (once a week or more) to be diagnosed with nightmare disorder [5][6] - Nightmare disorder is characterized by frequent, distressing nightmares that cause anxiety, sleep disruption, and impaired daily routines [6] Causes and Maintenance of Nightmares - Disposition, particularly "thin boundaries" (sensitivity, creativity), stress (including trauma), and maladaptive coping strategies contribute to nightmare frequency [8][9][10][11][12] - Avoiding or pushing away nightmares is counterproductive, as it tends to increase their intensity and frequency [12][13] - Individuals with nightmares often share them with others for immediate relief, but this strategy does not change the nightmares in the long run [14] Treatment and Intervention - People with nightmares rarely seek professional help due to avoidance, stigma, and lack of awareness about effective treatments [15][16][17] - Health professionals often lack knowledge about nightmare treatment strategies, with only 30% of contacts being helpful [17][18] - Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT), a cognitive therapy developed in the mid-1990s, is a simple and effective psychological approach consisting of writing/telling the dream, changing the dream scenario while awake, and rehearsing the new scenario [18][19][20][21][22][23] - IRT has been tested in 12-15 randomized controlled trials and has shown to decrease nightmare frequency, even with brief telephone counseling [25][26][27]

People have all sorts of addictions. Some can't even go a day without caffeine. Others obsess over screens, validation, or even work.But there's one kind of addiction that isn't talked about nearly enough. one that carries the sole responsibility of every other crime out there, drug addiction. The other day I came across this video of a former drug addict.He wasn't just talking about his experience, but he also spoke about who else he had met in addiction. families, siblings getting high together, doctors, ...

Health & Wellness - Over 80% of adolescents worldwide do not meet the World Health Organization's standard of at least one hour of daily physical activity [2] - A 2011 study showed that regular physical activity can increase the volume of the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory [7][8] - Participants who exercised regularly experienced a 2% increase in hippocampus volume over a year, while inactive adults typically see a 1% decrease [10] - Physical activity aids in the synthesis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports learning and memory [11][12] Stress Management & Cognitive Function - Physical exercise can help regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the negative impacts of chronic stress and cortisol [17][19] - Regular physical activity can improve performance under pressure and enhance the ability to cope with stressful situations [28][29] Evolutionary Biology & Learning - From an evolutionary perspective, physical exertion and heightened brain activity are interconnected for survival, aiding in analyzing situations and adapting to stressors [5][6]

Io ho studiato statistiche e molto spesso mi sono interrogato sulle probabilità delle cose che facciamo. Sei a casa sul divano e decidi di uscire, di accettare quell'invito.Vai alla festa. Cosa mai potrà capitare di storto. La cosa peggiore è che magari ti annoi, trovi delle ...
