TINY NAPS could solve your problems friends, you heard it here first 😴
Please don’t sacrifice your evening sleep, but try this during the day. This is a really cool technique called “targeted dream incubation” that researchers used in this study. The relationship between sleep, consciousness and creativity is pretty mind blowing.

The Vagus Nerve controls various bodily functions, such as digestion, heart rate, and mood regulation. Recently there's been a surge in alternative therapies that claim to stimulate the Vagus Nerve, including icing, breathing exercises and meditation. In this video, I test the most popular TikTok trend, icing, based on the mammalian dive reflex. We explore the science behind VNS, the latest therapies, and what personalised medicine could look like in the future.

Why is this video orange? Blue light, the kind emitted from screens, can suppress your production of melatonin (which makes us feel drowsy). This can make it harder to get to bed, and get to sleep. Orange you glad I did you this favour?

Daylight Saving Time, explained.
Daylight saving, or summer time, should be scrapped. Sleep scientists HATE Daylight saving - and a lot of people think this is because of the bad effects on sleep around when the clocks actually change. BUT it's more to do with the fact that on Daylight time, your circadian rhythm, sunlight and the clock are out of sync, which can lead to more nuanced bad health impacts. Many countries (like Mexico, the EU) have recently passed laws to stay on Standard Time. BUT the US is in the process of passing a bill (the "Sunshine Protection Act") that would make Daylight saving time permanent (It's been approved by the senate and is now being considered by the house of reps). It has been driven by lobby groups, namely for the golf industry and shopping, because consumer spending increases when it's lighter later in the day. It's bizarre (but not surprising!) that the clocks would permanently change in a way that would be terrible for health to increase consumer spending.

We interact with traffic and road signs constantly, though you probably haven't spent much time thinking about them. This is may be because they often guide our behaviour below our conscious awareness. Signs are SUPER important, but traffic signs aren't designed in an inclusive way – those with dyslexia and elderly people take longer to process certain types of signs. So which signs are the worst, most confusing or infuriating? How can traffic sign design be better? At this point, you should really stop reading this description and just watch the video.

How many exclamation points is too many?! Should you include emojis in emails 🤷🏻♀️ Why do people send such terrible emails, or is there more to it? Here Vanessa breaks down the psychology of online communication – emails, text messages and more – to unpack how knowledge bias, negativity bias and generation punctuation lead to miscommunication. Armed with new knowledge about tone and perception, you can reemerge into the world to communicate more clearly... we hope...

Many people think procrastination is the opposite of productivity. So trying to fix procrastination with productivity hacks like time management apps or optimizing your workflow makes sense, right? But that’s the tricky thing about procrastination: it’s a mental phenomenon, so we need those psychological tricks. Making changes to the way we *think* rather than the way we work, is key.

Many claim that Times New Roman is the most readable or accessible font – but is this really true? We dive into font research to explore the accessibility of Arial, Comic Sans, and fonts like Open Dyslexic. Is there one that stands out from the rest? Or is the world of typefaces as subjective as our opinions about design?

EDIT: to clarify from some of your comments, I paid for a one hour session in the crystal bed. I did not pay $10,000 for the bed. The cost of the bed made for a compelling title. Still, I call the possibility that people considered that, “The Mr Beast Effect”
Crystal healing, where you meditate, sit or otherwise use crystals to fix some ailment, is insanely popular. But when it has no scientific or medical basis -- why do people believe in it? I came to Sedona Arizona to find a collection of 40+ crystals in my Airbnb. So, this is my journey to understand *why*. I think that we are often quick to dismiss people who turn to pseudoscience, when there is more to be understood about human nature in why this happens. In making this video, I wanted to learn and talk to people with different beliefs to my own. Please be nice to each other 🔮🙏

I've never been great at short term planning. This year, I started using a tiered planning system and found it help reduce my anxiety. Here's some food for thought as we head into the new year: Is there a way you can manage your time better?
The planning software I'm using is called Actions by Moleskine Studio, it's a paid service and I signed up because I like the colours and simplicity (actions.moleskinestudio.com/). Out of the free options, I like Asana the best. It has a simple to-do list feature, and it's also pretty customisable and good for working in teams.

This is my kind-of Social Dilemma Review, and I say ‘kind-of’ because I found there wasn’t that much to review in the Netflix documentary itself. Many of the people interviewed made valid points, though the documentary offered little in the way of solutions and in my opinion, the ending was alarmist. When I made Attention Wars we wanted it to be information-dense, so this is what I’m adding to the discussion – lots of examples and information of what I consider to me the more disturbing side of social media and psychology.
The original Attention Wars series (2018) was produced in association with Screen Australia and PBS. The series was produced by Vanessa Hill and Margie Bryant, written by Bahar Gholipour and edited by Dominique Taylor. Animations by James Hutson.

How can we convince others to wear a mask? Here are six tips I need you to share with... your community. You're a science communicator now. If you think about wearing a mask like other behaviours and actions related to our health – wearing seatbelts, condoms, sunscreen and more – we can look at things that did (and didn't work) in public health campaigns in the past. I hope you like my PSA.
Want to know all about the science of masks? Science Sam has you covered: youtu.be/WhzzVpp54HA

Does lucid dreaming live up to the hype, and is it likely you'll have control if you actually lucid dream? In this video we chat about the history, the risks, and have a sip of my opinion.

Are you having trouble falling asleep? Waking up during the night? Or just tired, all the time? I've been there. A lot of these tips seem straightforward – but it's difficult to build healthy habits around sleep, and practice good sleep hygiene consistently. Like anything, start small – choose one area of your sleep to focus on. Then come back, pick another, and work your way up to the best rest you can get.

Psychologists suggest thinking of 'tolerance of uncertainty' as a muscle. The more you exercise it by practicing introducing small amounts of uncertainty into your everyday life, the more your tolerance for uncertainty in your life increases. We are all dealing with a lot of uncertainty with the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. Please stay safe, STAY HOME and take care of your mental health, too.

While I’m working on a big new project, let’s do this in one-take...
HOW TO HELP:
WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service) https://donations.wires.org.au/
NSW Rural Fire Service: https://quickweb.westpac.com.au/OnlinePaymentServlet?cd_community=NSWRFS&cd_currency=AUD&cd_supplier_business=DONATIONS&action=EnterDetails
HOW TO COPE WITH ECO-ANXIETY:
1) small actions can help – like trying to reduce your plastic waste
2) think about bigger ways you can lessen your impact – like taking public transport
3) community helps – talk to others who are experiencing similar feelings (if you can't find them IRL, there are lots of people here on youtube)
4) activism, like attending a march or signing a petition, can help ease stress and worry
5) if your feelings are overwhelming or you're feeling helpless, please consult a medical professional

🤔How to actually form habits that stick? 👇
1. Make things as easy as possible for yourself. So make sure your actions can be easily repeated.
2. Find a way to repeat your behaviours regularly for *at least* 2-3 months. Sometimes it takes more than a year to successfully form a habit.
3. Remember habits don’t necessarily form because of willpower
4. Look to how you can tweak your context to help you repeat the behaviour

This year I released an Everyday Psychology mini-series that offered brain tips and insights based on research. Some of you commented that they weren't relevant to those with general anxiety, social anxiety depression or on the autism spectrum, so I called up my friend Ali Mattu to see what these tips would look like for a larger population. And, he reviews my brain tips. Thanks to Ali for his time and YOU for the episode suggestion.
