Many people have the habit of browsing the Internet on their phones before going to sleep. Even though you might have important things to plan for the next day, this habit is actually very unhealthy.

There are a number of studies and researches about the effects of the longer use of mobile phones at night. One of these is about the health and well-being of humans, which shows negative findings about this kind of subject. Mobile phones’ radiation has become popular to those who are always aware of its damaging and harmful effects that can actually harm people in the long run. This issue is extremely alarming and disturbing; especially when the radiation happens to someone, it becomes seriously dangerous. The blue lights from your mobile phones contain numerous severe health issues.

Blue lights have been included in the light spectrum(光谱) which is commonly a group of colors in the ray of light and it only shows that there is no difference between exposing to the sun and using our mobile phones, because they both contain blue lights. In some way, being exposed to that kind of light at night is extremely harmful to the eyes.

Such light at night results in disturbing sleep and increasing the risk of cancer. Melatonin(褪黑激素) is the natural weapon of the body in fighting against cancer. However, it is being blocked by the blue lights. If this happens once, it might become a big health problem, so you have to put in mind that using mobile phones continuously at night leads to severe health issues.

It is not really that bad to use your mobile phones at night if there is an emergency or an urgent need to use it. The important thing is to just minimize your time with your mobile phone for your entire health.

Singles' Day ---- the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents.

Are you good with your hands? Many of us like to make things which we can use or give as gifts. Crafting is certainly a hobby that's seen a rebirth, and those who pursue it claim getting creative improves their mood.

The recent lockdowns caused by the Covid pandemic gave people time at home to try out new activities, which they've continued to enjoy. Many turned to hobbies such as craft making as a way to reduce their work-from-home burnout. Weaving, pottery and painting are all crafts that have seen a revival (再度流行) , and many of them are being done by younger people.

But even before the pandemic, people were turning to arts and crafts as an interesting pastime and even a way to make a bit of pocket money. Numerous websites, such as Etsy and Folksy, allowed people to sell their handmade goods. Richard Sennett, author of the Craftsman, told the VOA that: "A lot of people are finding their day jobs pretty empty, whereas learning a craft provides a real satisfaction. It's a skill-things like carpentry and weaving are mentally and physically stimulating, and people get inherent pleasure out of that kind of work".

The Internet has also been the place to turn to buy craft series which help you get started with your craft-making projects, such as candle making or macrame(编绳).But many people are enjoying designing and making things from scratch and are doing it just for pleasure or to occupy their minds-and there's evidence that it's good for us as well. According to research commissioned by VOA, even the briefest time spent on a creative pastime such as painting, pottery or playing the piano, has an impact on our wellbeing and emotions. The survey of around 50,000 people found being creative can help avoid stress, free up mind space and improve self-development, which helps build self-esteem.

So, if you're looking for the perfect stimulant for your stressed-out life, maybe now's the time to get creative.
