Week 14EC: Learning by HEART: Attention

Daydreaming This article talks about how daydreaming can be a good thing. Based off a recent study, daydreaming suggests that you might be really smart and creative. They suggest that people with efficient brains naturally wander to think of new things. As long as you can go in and out of situations while still hitting the main points then daydreaming can be a great thing, they suggest. I already knew that daydreaming can mean that you are creative, but I'm interested in learning more about why our brains daydream. Based on this article, it is possible that they daydream because they are efficient brains and need to wander in order to think properly. (daydream: Science Daily)

The article talks about 6 yoga poses you can do at your desk and they are not embarrassing to do. I thought this was really cool because I enjoy doing yoga and stretching is important while your studying and sitting for long periods of time. They include shoulder rolls, open chest stretch, neck stretch, chair twist, reverse prayer pose, and twisted arms. (Stretching: Harvard Business Review ) 

Week 12EC: Learning by HEART: Data Reveals How Some College Students Sleep

Data Reveals How Some College Students Sleep The data shows that students aren't as sleep deprived as some people think that they are. On average students are getting around 7-7.5 hours of sleep each night. Data suggest that the more difficult the college is, the longer students stay up. Women tend to go to bed sooner than men, but this could have a biological component to it. To no surprise, students in the military academy are getting the least amount of sleep of all students. It confirmed that students in college can have stressors that affect their rest. A new thing I learned is that on average we are getting more sleep than what most people think. One thing I would like to look into is how SES stressors affect peoples rest. I will use this data to continue to get good sleep at night as it can be so beneficial to all parts of life.  (Sleep: Pixabay )
