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 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.
