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.REFERENCES 📚There's so many, there's a doc for it.

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.Thanks to Jorge Cham for taking the time to chat, and to the ANU SCOM class for their notes on an earlier version of this video.

I tried a $10,000 crystal healing bed. Heres what I learned. BrainCraft 2021-01-25 | Listen to the new Music for Scientists album (out today!): biglink.to/music-for-scientists And watch the music video, For The Love of The Truth: youtu.be/YGjjvd34CvcSUBSCRIBE to BrainCraft! 👉 http://ow.ly/rt5IEMY PATREON: patreon.com/BrainCraft 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 🔮🙏Thank you to Prof. Timothy Caulfield for his time.

A Simple Planning System for Reducing Anxiety BrainCraft 2020-12-18 | Get CuriosityStream AND Nebula for less than $15 per year (26% off!) curiositystream.com/braincraft MY PATREON: patreon.com/BrainCraftI'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.

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.

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.
