Research shows Americans are feeling increasingly lonely, with younger generations reporting lonelinees more frequently than older generations, and heavy social media users reporting loneliness more frequently than light users. Reaching out and taking time to connect, in person, with those around us builds relationships and a sense of belonging that can help reduce feelings of isolation.

Sleep tourism has become a major travel trend since the
beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, leading to the emergence
of sleep hotels, sleep suites, and in-house sleep experts for
travelers looking to rest.
Sleep tourism is a travel trend that emphasizes getting
the best sleep possible. It often involves picking a vacation
spot that offers sleep amenities. According to the magazine
Fortune, hotels have responded to a rise in sleep-focused
travelers by upgrading their sleep services, even hiring sleep
experts.
The rise in sleep tourism is a result of a growing sleep
epidemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), one in three adults doesn’t get enough
sleep. Quality sleep is often mistaken for a luxury when it’s
essential for good mental and physical health.
The CDC warns that inadequate sleep can lead to some
serious health conditions, such as heart disease, obesity,
type 2 diabetes, and depression. Sleep deprivation is also a
major cause of car collisions each year, as well as workplace
injuries.

How ghost cities in the Amazon
are rewriting the story of civilisation
Try to imagine an environment largely untouched by humans
and the Amazon rainforest might spring to mind. After all, large
swathes of this South American landscape are blanketed in thick
vegetation, suggesting it is one corner of the world that humans
never managed to tame. Here, there must have been no
deforestation, no agricultural revolution and no cities. It seems
like a pristine environment.
Or so we thought. But a very different picture is emerging.
Archaeologists working with Indigenous communities have been
shown crumbling urban remains and remote sensing technologies
such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) are revealing the
footprints of vast ghost cities. With so much evidence of ancient
human activity, it is now thought the pre-Columbian Amazon was
inhabited by millions of people – some living in large built-up
areas complete with road networks, temples and pyramids.
But that’s not all this research reveals. Paradoxically, it also
provides evidence that the traditional view of the Amazon isn’t
completely wide of the mark. For instance, while the ancient
Amazonians managed their landscape intensively, they didn’t
deforest it. And although they developed complex societies, they
never went through a wholesale agricultural revolution. This
might suggest that the pre-Columbian Amazonians broke the
mould of human cultural development, which is traditionally seen
as a relentless march from hunting and gathering to farming to
urban complexity. The truth is more surprising. In fact, we are
now coming to understand that there was no such mould –
civilisation arose in myriad ways. What looks like an anomaly in
the Amazon is actually a shining example of a process that was as
vibrant and diverse as the rainforest itself.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

What’s good about personalized medicine
For a long time, the practice of medicine has largely been
reactive, waiting for the onset of disease before treating or curing
it. But we’re all unique in terms of genetic makeup, environment,
and lifestyle factors. Our growing understanding of genetics and
genomics – the study of all of a person’s genes – and how they
drive health, disease and treatment in individual people offers an
opportunity to step away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach based
on broad population averages and adopt an individualized
approach.
In addition to advances in the field of genomics,
developments in the fields of science and technology play a
crucial role in personalized medicine (for example, the
development of high-resolution analytics, biotech research and
chemistry, and the ability to decipher molecular structures,
signaling pathways, and protein interactions that underpin the
mechanisms of gene expression).
Personalized medicine is about more than prescribing the
best drugs, although that’s a large part of it. Proponents say it
would shift medicine’s emphasis from reaction to prevention,
better predict disease susceptibility and improve diagnosis,
produce more effective drugs and reduce adverse side effects,
and eliminate the inefficiency and cost of adopting a trial-anderror approach to healthcare. […]
Despite its numerous benefits, the adoption of a personalized
medicine approach raises several issues. For it to reach peak
efficiency, a lot of genomic data must be collected from a large
and diverse section of the population, and it’s critical that
participants’ privacy and confidentiality are protected.

What is nomophobia?
Nomophobia refers to a fear of not having
mobile phone connectivity. It can cause panic or
anxiety for the person experiencing it.
Researchers have noted that it is still unclear if
the disorder comes from an existing condition,
such as anxiety disorder, or from a cell phone
addiction. They proposed changing the name
“nomophobia” to “smartphone addiction
disorder.”
Treatments are currently nonstandard and
involve behavioral therapies, support groups,
and self-care.
Self-care
A person can practice self-care strategies on
their own. They can take the following steps to
manage their phobia:
• progressive muscle relaxation
• practicing different breathing techniques
A person may also benefit from learning
relaxation techniques. This therapy involves a
combination of breathing techniques, exercises,
and meditation techniques, which help a person
cope with not having a phone or other phobias.
