The 20-20-20 rule for eye strain

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This simple habit significantly reduces digital eye strain. The ciliary muscles in your eyes need regular breaks from focusing up close.

The brain uses 20% of your body's energy

Despite being only 2% of your body weight, the brain consumes roughly 20% of your total energy. It burns about 400 calories per day just to keep the lights on. This is why mental fatigue is real — thinking hard genuinely depletes energy.

Today I Learned

Cold showers boost alertness and mood

Cold water triggers the release of norepinephrine in the brain — a neurotransmitter that improves focus and mood. Even 30 seconds of cold water at the end of a shower can have measurable effects on energy levels throughout the day.
