 Hi! I am back with another tip. How to stop digital eye strain. Attending online class is a  big disadvantage of eye straining. To avoid them, here are some tips. Create an eye-friendly schedule. Break up the time spent on the computer during the school day by fitting in activities such as reading, exercising, or eating lunch. Set time limits for recreational use of digital devices. This can help minimize digital distractions  during the day and prevent digital eye strain during the evenings and weekends. Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away.  Zoom in when the text is too small. On the web, you can do this by adjusting the settings of your web browser or by using the browser’s shortcut keys.(visit my sister blog. Here  is a short cut.) Clean the computer screen at least once a week. This will keep it clear by eliminating dust. Sit in a way that feet are flat on the floor, lower ...

  Hi Readers! I am back with an new topic. It is all about space. 7 Interesting Facts on Space Halleys Comet won’t orbit past Earth again until 2061. Discovered in 1705 by Edmond Halley, the famous comet was last seen in 1986 and is only seen once every 75 to 76 years. There may be a planet made out of diamonds. Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e — which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater – may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer. One day on Venus is longer than one year.

In 3.75 billion years the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide. The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way – where our solar system...

  HI everyone ! I am gonna say about Melatonin. It is a hormone in our body.  What is Melatonin? The production and release of melatonin from the pineal gland occurs with a clear daily (circadian) rhythm, with peak levels occurring at night. Once produced, it is secreted into the blood stream and cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain & spinal cord) and conveys signals to distant organs. Melatonin is carried by the circulation from the brain to all areas of the body.  Use of Melatonin Melatonin supplements may help with certain conditions, such as jet lag, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, some sleep disorders in children, and anxiety before and after surgery. Another name of it N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine What happens if you have too much melatonin? There are large variations in the amount of melatonin produced by individuals and these are not associated with any health problems. The main consequences of swallowing large amounts of melatonin are drows...
