Dopamine menus, popularized by a social media influencer, are a concept that people with ADHD can use to design activities that provide stimulation and pleasure. Based on the understanding that individuals with ADHD have lower levels of dopamine in their brains, the menus divide activities into appetizers (quick and pleasurable), mains (longer and more rewarding), sides (paired with less enjoyable activities), and desserts (enjoyment in moderation). Scientific evidence suggests that sustained, low-level release of dopamine through activities like exercise, socializing, and listening to music can be beneficial for individuals with ADHD, while short-acting rewards and novelty have limited impact. Engaging in healthy, long-acting pleasurable activities can have positive effects on overall health.
Increased deep sleep has been found to benefit the cardiovascular system, particularly the left ventricle, according to new research. By using tonal stimulations during deep sleep, researchers observed enhanced heart performance, leading to more efficient blood circulation. This finding has potential applications in preventive medicine and athletics, as it could improve cardiac function and aid in faster recovery after intense workouts. The study also highlights the importance of deep sleep for overall health and suggests that further research should explore the benefits of deep sleep stimulation in women as well.
