For a Happier Life, Reframe Your Emotions
Many of us go through our days riding emotional waves – driving along feeling carefree, then flooded with frustration about a traffic jam ahead, and suddenly rocked by anxiety at the thought of arriving late for work – often believing that our feelings at any given moment are beyond our control. But a classic psychological theory suggests we may have more command of our emotions than we realize.

Pain!
Have you ever been sleeping soundly and then wake up suddenly in pain? All because you have cramps in your feet, and they are running up your calves making your feet stand at attention in a strange way? This was happening to me because I had become quite a bit more active on a daily basis (or was it?) than I had in the past few months prior to this. I had never had cramps this painful before. Sure I've had cramps in my legs before and in lots of other places in my body, but these ones lasted longer and seemed more painful. I used to wake up and shake them out and then they'd stay out, but these ones didn't shake out or even leave when I would try to walk them out.

Why Space Travel is $190,000 Cheaper from Sri Lanka
So. I'm in Sri Lanka having coffee with my newest acquaintance (and now good friend) Tsoroshan. We are a little hungover (these were the days when I still drank alcohol) and dealing with it in very different ways. I am tucking into a massive plate of traditional dhal curry, coconut sambal and paratha bread with a fresh mango smoothie as he sips delicately on his black coffee and sparks another cigarette.

How Peeing Into Frog Was A Method Of Pregnancy
Science is full of weird and strange experiments and tests done in the past. The women of 2021 should thank their lucky stars when they do a pregnancy test; they just need to pee on a strip and not into a frog. That is right, you heard correctly. Back in the day to see if you were pregnant after a frisky night; you needed to pee into a frog and wait for a few hours to find out.

The Scary Reality of Dietary Supplements
We've all had a rough night's sleep; whether it's related to jet lag, poor choices, or our own biological dispositions – we've been there. And in many cases we've turned to a supplement in order to help our weary mind get the sleep it deserves. For example, melatonin supplements are popular sleep aids. This is probably due to the fact that most people know the importance of melatonin's role in our sleep-wake cycles – but did you know that the concentration of melatonin in a supplement can vary as widely as 83 % less to 478 % more than what is stated on the label?
