Then you've come to the right place.
Sleep is brandy, they say. And we probably all received the same sermon from our mother when we were young, saying that sleep is important. True, but at the time it fell on deaf ears, even though every morning before school we regretted going to bed too late. Well, most of us carried this habit into adulthood. Neither the yawning, nor the dark circles, nor the lack of energy taught us. What if we told you that lack of sleep leads to disease, obesity and even drunkenness?
For you too, a real morning doesn't exist without a "steamy" cup of coffee? Welcome to the club. The smell of coffee has a greater influence on many people than the Moon, as it is one of the few things that, like Sirens, lures us out of bed to start the day. It is the second best-selling product in the world and raises the eternal question of whether drinking it is harmful or beneficial? AsapSCIENCE looked at how it affects our brain.
The human brain is considered a very sensitive part of the human body. However, brain injuries can lead to many health complications. According to research, the World Health Organization presented the 10 most harmful habits that seriously damage our brain.
Every now and then we accidentally get a photo that says more than the author of the photo wanted to say. In other words, our brain forces us to interpret. The gallery in this article is a test of your virtue, or a test of whether you see what those with slightly more depraved minds than average see.

Those of you who followed the Crooked Path series may have the answer to the question 'Why does smell bring back memories?' you already know because Walter explained it nicely to Gus over dinner, but for those of you who missed that part, let's just say that smell brings back memories because it travels to the part of the brain that controls emotions and memories. But why do we have such an emotional response to certain smells? More on this below.
For quite some time, the rule of thumb has been that humans are born with a certain level of intelligence and the best we can do is live up to our potential. But scientists have proven that we can actually increase our potential and enjoy the process. By learning new skills, the brain creates new nerve pathways that enable faster and better quality work. Here is a list of seven hobbies that make us smarter.
You know when a girl accuses a guy of looking at other women? Well, just watching doesn't hurt, does it? Well, it might cost him a slap or a bond, but it certainly doesn't hurt his vision. But there are things that can seriously harm you just by looking at them long enough. Okay, let's leave the sun and the flash for welding. These are the images behind the phenomenon called the McCollough effect, which can distort your vision. Distortion of vision can last for an hour or as long as three months! And as Tom Scott says, telling someone on the internet not to do that is like telling a five-year-old not to stuff beans up their nose. So, don't try the McCollough effect!
