How to use technology mindfully

Technology plays a huge part in our daily lives. Most of us feel like we're missing a limb if we accidentally leave our phone at home. While modern technology comes with incredible benefits and improves our quality of life, it can also have a negative impact on our mental health and our relationships if we're not careful. On any bus or train you'll be surrounded by people with their heads down staring at their screens instead of looking out the window. We tend to turn to our devices to fill any small gap in our day. This reduces the amount of time we spend noticing our surroundings and how we feel. Technology is essential for most people, but we can become more mindful and more present in our daily lives if we set some limits for ourselves. Click through the gallery to learn more about becoming a mindful user of technology.

The mysteries of sleep

When imagining the evolution of a species in a dangerous environment where food is scarce, being asleep for a third of the time seems counterproductive and dangerous. At any time during this period of unconsciousness (if we can call it that), the animal could be attacked and ripped to shreds by a predator. And don't forget: humans are also animals. It’s debatable that we evolved to conserve energy. Actually, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that most animals burn almost just as many calories as when they're awake! It seems that modern technology has been able to reveal a lot about how we sleep (how we dream, what the brain does during sleep, etc.), but hasn't been able to answer the why to many questions surrounding sleep.

To learn about what you should eat and when, how to rest the right way, and some tips and tricks that will make the whole recovery phase a lot speedier, click through this gallery.

Get Rid of Gnats Once and for All with These Hacks

Is it just us, or are they everywhere right now? If you've ever spilled sugary juice on the counter and didn't wipe it up right away, overwatered plants inside or outside, or waited a day too long to take out the trash, you know this feeling. One simple household mistake, and all of sudden your house seems to be covered up in bugs—tiny gnats, to be exact. Here are eight ways to help you get rid of gnats once and for all. Before killing gnats, the first thing to do is make sure that they are, in fact, gnats. There are many different types of itty-bitty flying insects, and each requires a slightly different elimination tactic. You may actually find yourself needing to know how to get rid of fruit flies or how to get rid of drain flies instead. If you know what to look for, it's easy to distinguish between bugs. Fungus gnats look black and feature long legs while fruit flies are typically brown and rounder in shape. Drain flies have a fuzzier appearance and larger wings, and as the name suggests, they hang out around sink drains. Once you’ve correctly identified what bug is, well, bugging you, you can start to take the necessary steps toward getting rid of gnats, flies, and any other bugs once and for all with vinegar solutions, store-bought remedies, and even rotten fruit (really!). For longer-term success, invest in one of the best bug zappers on the market.
