Jag är på resande fot i Sydney och pratar om att vara trött, att inte ha energi om att inte gilla storstäder och jag kommer också in på existentiella tankar och funderingar.

Have you ever considered the importance of emotional well-being in language learning? Smith certainly has. Recognizing that mastering a new language can be a formidable journey, she diligently checks in on her students emotionally. It's not just care; Smith understands that personal struggles can profoundly impact the learning process. That's why she's introduced a special lesson, 'Expressional English,' where students can freely discuss their challenges and seek support. In this unique space, Smith ensures that her students not only learn a language, but also feel supported and understood throughout their linguistic endeavors

Are you okay 💔

Pratar om stora städer och paniken av att trängas med hur många människor som helst, jag bor just nu i en liten stad och reste till Melbourne i helgen. Fick en chock av hur många människor som lever där. Varför vill så många människor bo i stora städer? Jag pratar om att jag inte kan förstå hur man kan välja att bo så. Hoppas för framtiden det blir mer populärt med mindre städer, både för miljön, hälsan och för människors frid i sinnet. 

Tankar På Svenska : Panik av Melbourne

Do you find it harder to be nice and cooperative when you're tired? You're not alone — and there's actually science behind that feeling.

Researchers in Italy looked at how being tired affected people's brains and the decisions they made.

They looked at a total of almost 450 people. The participants all started by doing a set of similar tasks for about 45 minutes — but for one group, the tasks were made much more difficult to make the participants mentally tired.

For example, the mentally tired group was given more difficult quiz questions to answer. And while everyone watched funny videos, the mentally tired group was told to try not to smile or laugh.

Participants then played several economic games that asked them to make decisions that would give different benefits to themselves and others, like deciding how to share points in a group.

It was found that mentally tired participants were much less likely to make cooperative decisions in the games. They were also more likely to choose "antisocial" and "spiteful" options — where they could, say, choose to use some of their own points to reduce someone else's points instead of using them to help themselves or the group.

Why did this happen?

Among the mentally tired group, the researchers found a much stronger increase in "slow-wave" activity in parts of the brain used for things like planning, paying attention, controlling emotions and understanding others. These "slow waves" are similar to the ones seen in our brains when we sleep.

The researchers said this increase in slow waves may explain tired participants' less cooperative decisions.

So when you're tired after a long day, you may be less nice because the parts of your brain you need to help you cooperate are actually going to sleep!
