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.

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.

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Procrastination BrainCraft 2021-07-08 | MY PATREON: patreon.com/BrainCraftSUBSCRIBE to BrainCraft! 👉 http://ow.ly/rt5IEPhD Comics 👉 http://phdcomics.comMy Instagram instagram.com/nessyhillMany 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.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.

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.
