28.02.2021 - Denmark’s climate policies 'insufficient' to meet 2030 emissions target

     The Danish government's effort to decrease greenhouse gases emission by 70% by 2030 has been called "insufficient" and have only met a third of the challenge. Further inspections by the monitoring body of the project's progress have revealed that the emissions will be cut off, not by 70%, but by 54% (comparing to emission levels in 1990). The government is currently working on two new 'energy islands' - one artificial and one on Bornholm, which will together supply 5GW of wind power.

    In my opinion the Danish government's plan is great and I think that projects as such should be spread worldwide. Coronavirus really slowed down the process and they still managed to get a fair result. I chose this piece of news because I wanted to check on the progress of the whole project (me and my class visited the Danish Embassy in Warsaw half a year ago where we were presented to this idea).

    One of my favourite countries, Denmark.
    To me it's just enviable that they have a government that treats climate change seriously and has a policy that is not imposed by international bodies or the EU but is their own decision. Poland will probably have to be blackmailed or bullied into doing something meaningful to fight climate change.

Maladaptive daydreaming

    Scientists estimate that an average person spends around 47% of their active time daydreaming. Doing so is considered healthy, as it enables us to slow down and collect our thoughts. Some people though, may experience daydreams so intensive that they get distracted very easily. Such a condition is called Maladaptive daydreaming or daydreaming disorder. It usually gets  triggered by stimuli such as smell, noise, sound or even conversation topics. Maladaptive daydreaming can develop as a coping mechanisim in response to trauma or sustained and prolonged stress - it helps to switch off while feeling stressed out. Usually people who already suffer from other mental illnesses or disorders are prone to this condition. OCD, depression and anxiety might be the primary cause of developing maladaptive daydreaming.  https://www.sleepfoundation.org/mental-health/maladaptive-daydreaming

Sleep disorders

 Sleep disorders are conditions that influence the quality and amount of sleep that you get. Everyone can have problems falling asleep once in a while but sleep disorders tend to stretch for long periods of time. Usually as result, even though you’ve slept a healthy, recommended amount of time, you can experience weariness and fatigue. There are around 80 different types of sleep disorders but most common types are insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Insomnia prevents you from falling asleep, sleep apnea influences your breathing patterns while in slumber, restless legs syndrome is a type of sleep movement disorder, and narcolepsy makes you fall asleep during the day due to extreme exhaustion. Such conditions aren’t rare to find. Around 70 million people in the US suffer from such disorders. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleep-disorders/symptoms-causes/syc-20354018

Sleep apnea

     Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which repeatedly prevents or stops its victim from breathing. The disease cannot kill people but the complications can shorten ones lifespan. It dramatically lowers ones sleep quality and makes it almost impossible to wake up well rested.      There are three different types of sleep apnea - obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea syndrome. The first occurs when ones throat muscles relax. The second happens when our brain doesn't send proper signals to muscles that control breathing. The last one is a combination of the first two and is the most lethal.      Loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, waking up with a dry mouth and hypersomnia are common symptoms of sleep apnea. It's very hard to find out ourselves that we have sleep apnea and round 38 thousand people die from the disorder annually. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleep-apnea/symptoms-causes/syc-...
