  Some people sleep in the afternoon either to catch up on lost sleep or to help them feel more alert after they wake up. Boris Johnson himself, favours a nap during his work day. Napping can give us more strenght but it depends on how long we want our nap to last. Short naps are great for increasing energy, longer naps are better for affective learning. Studies have shown that that those who nap for 30-90 minutes have a better condition than those who nap either for longer or longer, or who don't nap at all. Naps can help the brain to clean up and to replenish its energy stores. Although napping has many positive influences it is not recommended for people who suffer from insomnia, because they might make it harder to fall asleep. From my experience naps can be helpful but they might cause some negative influences as well. After taking a short nap, I feel more strenght and energy but when it takes about over an hour, I feel even more tired than before taking a nep. Also, later on

  We still haven't found any aliens, so we haven't been able to neither ask them any questions nor receive a reply. The most important question is whether they actually exist. They might because of one simple reason: we exist. One of the most important reasons why scientist are looking for aliens is because we are curious. We want to know if they exist, what they like, how do they look like and what our relationship with them might be. Aliens might be curious about us too but we don't know what kind of relations they are looking for. With so many worlds of civilizations we might have just not caught their eye. In my opinion aliens do exist but not in a way we believe they do. Our universe is endless and we have no clue how many planets there are so it is pure arrogance of human kind to think that we are the only intelligent species in the whole universe. with life on them exists. On the other hand, I think that if aliens wanted to visit us, they would already have done it.

  Children while going to school are developing skills like sharing, conflict solving and empathy. Because of COVID-19 many of those opportunities like learning and developing social skills, have been frozen partially. Studies have shown that already many people, both adults and children, have been negatively affected by the lockdown. Those who are socially less connected have an even more complicated situation. For example, if you are not able to empathize, compromise or understand other's emotions your social communication is very likely to decrease. The best thing you can do is just to interact with others as soon as the lockdown ends. In my opinion, the lockdown does not affect our brain itself. Even on my own example; I feel the lack of meeting and truly communicating with others. I am a person that likes to spend time with friends and I really miss doing it but I don't feel like my abilities to get along with others have decreased. I still try to communicate with my frien

  Narcissists are people who hold grandiose views of themselves, who think that rules or the law does not apply to them and who crave the respect from all the people around them. This is basically everything they care about. From what I know, narcissists can seriously damage your metal health. You have to remember that you can't win them. Psychologist think that narcissism develops in childhood. Narcissistic children are more capable to say that they deserve something extra and that they are better from others. You can recognize these behaviors since the kid turns 7. Narcissists are known to be leaders. They captivate others with their charm and self confidence. They also like to have control of other people. The studies have shown that narcissistic children didn't show better leadership and didn't guide their groups to better performance. They were just average. Sigmund Freud wrote that narcissists impress others as personalities and they seem well-studied so they can take
