Do you really need 8 hours of sleep every night? (https://www.ted.com/talks/

Sleep is so important. We need it to live. And when we can't sleep, we're desperate for help.
But lately, our fascination with sleep feels as if it's taken on an urgency. Do a
quick internet search for sleep and you'll find a slew of articles about how to make
your sleep perfect. New gadgets, fancy alarm clocks, stay away from blue light.
There are lots of services, products and advice columns that tell us we're sleeping
wrong. Not enough, not quality sleep, wrong position. Even worse, you might find
scary messaging claiming that if you're not sleeping right your life is going to be
shorter, you're going to get all kinds of diseases. One of the biggest worries we have
about our sleep is that we're not getting enough and that anything less than seven
hours a night means that we’re doomed to bad health, everything from high blood
pressure to Alzheimer’s disease. But there are two flaws with this kind of messaging.
The first flaw is that it's not completely accurate. Seven to eight hours of sleep, while
recommended for adults, is just an average. And while messages have to be
simplified for health communication to the public, sometimes important nuances
get lost. So yes, it's true that not getting enough sleep in the long term is associated
with health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and depression. But
fixating solely on seven to eight hours ignores the fact that there's a range of sleep
that people need. The duration of a good night's sleep can be different for different
people. Some adults need eight, but some are just fine on six. Word Pronunciation Meaning Example Desperate(Adj)

What happens in your brain when you exercise? Moving your body can
help you get out of depression
(https://www.voicetube.com/videos/83072)
Have you ever thought about what happens in your brain when you're moving around
working up a sweat? Most people know that exercise protects against diseases such as
cancer and diabetes. And if you've ever opened a celebrity magazine, you know that
exercise helps you with weight control and building stronger muscles. But what happens
inside your body is much more interesting: moving your body wil actually help you get out of
depression! When you exercise, chemicals that contribute to happiness and pleasure are
released in the brain. This means that someone who has just finished a power walk feels
happier immediately! This part of the brain is called the prefrontal cortex. It has many
important responsibilities, and you activate it when you exercise. The prefrontal cortex acts
as an emotional brake that helps you handle strong emotions, which can be important when
you're going through depression. It's also in charge of concentration. Perhaps you have
noticed that it's harder to concentrate? When you exercise, your prefrontal cortex gets
busier, and your ability to concentrate and react quickly wil improve immediately. A good
idea is to do some light jogging an hour before an exam or an important meeting. Now you
know a bit about what happens in your brain immediately after working up a sweat. But what
happens in the long run if you make exercise a regular thing? Moving your body a few times
a week means new brain cells are born inside your head, both in the prefrontal cortex and in
this other neat brain area called the Hippocampus. These areas of the brain get bigger.
The hippocampus is a part of your body that you real y want to keep as big as possible.
Among other things it's responsible for long-term memory. So, what happens inside your
body when you take a sweaty walk is much more important than what happens on the
outside! You wil become better at handling emotions, and be able to concentrate and
remember things. Perhaps most importantly, it wil affect your mood in a positive way.
