The 'Science' Behind Rest and Relaxation

What's better than sleeping? Don't even bother putting on your thought-amplifying science wig to answer that question. Sleep is just about the best thing in the world! Let's do a little thought experiment to prove this point. First of all, imagine your bed. Now, imagine your bed with cotton pillows and a satin quilt. Now imagine it with pillows made of soft, delicious ice cream and hundred dollar bills, and a quilt made of Ryan Reynolds holding a bottle of Kahlua. Ask yourself: is there anything more inviting than this?

No. The answer is no. And I think we should just take a moment to do that thought experiment again.

If I seem a little strange this week, apologies! It's all in the name of science. I've gone without sleep for three nights to perform a meta-experiment, allowing you, the reader - and all of the cheering Smurfs clustered around my keyboard - to monitor the effects of sleep deprivation on my mind.

The 'Science' Behind Human Anatomy-What You Need To Know

Hello and welcome to part VIII of the 'Science Behind' series. If you're a regular reader of this column, by now you should be thinking like a scientist. So, let's see if you can use the techniques of analysis you've learned to help you identify a mystery object. Here are some clues: It is soft. We might use it to filter grain alcohol. If you did not have one, you would find it difficult to put your shoes on in the morning.

The answer, as I'm sure you've guessed, is your body!

Regular readers have done a lot of work limbering up their minds in the last few months, so anyone new to this column should not feel intimidated by the level of thinking required here. It's a new year and a fresh start for us all. Incidentally, I'm delighted to say I'm back home after some difficult times (please refer to columns I-VII), with only a very, very few restrictions on my movements, in the form of multiple restraining orders, an ankle tag and regular visits from my probation officer (Hi Barbara!). So, without further ado, let's jump feet first into the gut-churning, blood-spattered world of human anatomy and see what we can learn.
