Sommerzeit – Winterzeit


(A) ALLE JAHRE WIEDER: Deutschland stellt von Sommerzeit auf Winterzeit um. Ob das gut oder schlecht ist, DARAN SCHEIDEN SICH DIE GEISTER. 

(B)  Viele freuen sich jedes Jahr auf die Sommerzeit, denn es bleibt länger hell und MAN HAT MEHR VON SEINEM FEIERABEND. Andere stehen der Zeitumstellung eher skeptisch gegenüber. Dazu gehören Eltern von Kleinkindern, deren Rhythmus empfindlich gestört wird.  Auch Landwirte sind nicht begeistert, denn die Fütterungszeiten und Melkzeiten der Tiere müssen umgestellt werden. Menschen mit Schlafstörungen oder organischen Erkrankungen haben Schwierigkeiten sich anzupassen und LAUT EINER STATISTIK werden nach jeder Zeitumstellung auf der Straße mehr Unfälle als sonst verzeichnet. 

(C)  Das sind nur einige der Probleme, die man aufzählen könnte. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sich die ursprüngliche Hoffnung auf Energie-Einsparung in keiner Weise erfüllt hat, könnte man schon die Frage stellen: Warum verabschiedet man sich nicht von dieser Idee?

You just got into bed after a long day, and you're exhausted. You plan to spend a few minutes on your phone — maybe scrolling Instagram or TikTok — and then sleep.

But when you try to sleep, it's not as easy as you thought it would be. You were so tired — what happened?

According to a new study, your phone may be the problem.

The study, done by researchers at New Zealand's University of Otago, involved 85 kids aged 11 to 14. They each spent a week wearing a body camera on their chest starting from three hours before they got into bed.

A second camera was also placed in their bedrooms to monitor their phone use once they were in bed. They also wore a device that tracked their sleep.

The researchers found that 99% of the participants used their phones in the two hours before bed. More than half used their phones while they were in bed, and about a third used their phones after trying to go to sleep.

The results showed that screen time in bed affected participants' sleep — it stopped them from going to sleep for about half an hour, and also reduced the amount of sleep they got.

The impact was larger when participants had a more interactive experience — such as playing a game — or if they used more than one screen. For every additional 10 minutes of this type of screen time, sleep time was reduced by the same amount.

Interestingly, phone use in the two hours before bed had little impact on sleep.

According to lead researcher Bradley Brosnan, the results suggest that, while current guidelines recommend no screen time in the hour or two before bed, keeping phones out of the bedroom might be enough for a better night's sleep.

日本の鍋料理

... Но лето, лето особенно упоительно в том краю. Там надо искать свежего сухого воздуха, напоенного — не лимоном и не лавром, а просто запахом полыни, сосны и черемухи; там искать ясных дней, слегка жгучих, но не палящих лучей солнца и почти в течение трех месяцев безоблачного неба.
Как пойдут ясные дни, то и длятся недели три-четыре; и вечер тепел там, и ночь душна. Звезды так приветливо, так дружески мигают с небес.
Дождь ли пойдет — какой благотворный летний дождь! Хлынет бойко, обильно, весело запрыгает, точно крупные и жаркие слезы внезапно обрадованного человека; а только перестанет — солнце уже опять с ясной улыбкой любви осматривает и сушит поля и пригорки: и вся страна опять улыбается счастьем в ответ солнцу.
Радостно приветствует дождь крестьянин: «Дождичек вымочит, солнышко высушит!» — говорит он, подставляя с наслаждением под теплый ливень лицо, плечи и спину.
