Gemstones are my favourite types of jewellery, with sapphires topping the list. I like sapphires because they are available in a wide variety of colours, including blue, black, colourless, and all shades in between. In sapphire, there are no restrictions on colour saturation or tone. The trace mineral concentration of a sapphire crystal is what gives sapphires their various colours. Due to the titanium element present in the crystal, a blue sapphire will reflect blue light. A sapphire will be pink in colour if it contains other trace minerals, such as chromium. You could have a sapphire that is lime green or purplish blue if a mix of components is present in the stone. The sapphire crystal would be colourless if it were chemically pure. A sapphire will exhibit whatever special, one-of-a-kind colour the elements of nature place within it.
Light lime green to olive green is the typical colour range for green sapphires. These stones can include substantial amounts of secondary colours like blue and yellow. Typically, green sapphires are not extremely expensive. The degree of colour saturation has little bearing on how much these stones cost.
I went for the green colour because green sapphires are unusually rare. Despite being in short supply, green sapphire is hardly known by the general public; therefore, demand hasn't driven prices as high as it has for pink or yellow sapphires. However, they have just as beautiful a light reflection and are just as stunning. The price of green sapphires is increasing gradually, and purchasing them now would be a great idea.
Sleep is essential for good health, and sleep deprivation can have serious consequences.
Several years ago, Netflix's official Twitter account posted the following message: "Sleep is my greatest enemy." This is exactly how you might feel when you know you should be in bed but don't want to go. But your need to stay awake might be bad for your health. Here's why it's time to stop putting off going to bed and start moving in a healthier direction:
What does procrastination at bedtime mean?
Our highly connected world keeps us busy by giving us one more episode to watch, one more text to answer, and a few more social media apps to try out. It can be hard to find time for ourselves when we have to deal with stress and problems every day. Does it come as a surprise that many of us delay going to bed?
Nearly 20 years ago, a group of researchers in Europe came up with the term "bedtime procrastination" to describe someone who goes to bed later than planned even though they know it will affect them. According to their findings, adults who delayed going to bed by a large margin felt more tired and slept fewer hours per night than their counterparts who did not delay going to bed.
one important thing? Smartphone use: People who put things off use their phones for an average of almost 80 minutes before bed, while people who don't put things off use their phones for 18 minutes.
People who tend to put things off use their smartphones for nearly 80 minutes before bed, while those who don't tend to use them until after midnight.
What's the point?
Getting less sleep than you need on a regular basis or not getting enough good sleep is linked to a number of bad health outcomes, such as high blood pressure, heart problems, cognitive problems, and depression. Along with good nutrition and exercise, sleep is one of the three most important things for good health. Yet we often forget that getting enough restful sleep is a way to improve our physical and mental health.
What can you do if you have trouble going to bed on time?
Researchers from the Republic of Korea recently did a small trial of a programme to help people who put off going to bed. Their programme is all about getting people more motivated and changing the way they act. During this preliminary study, 20 people met once a week for 50 minutes for three weeks, and then they got a phone call to check in. They cut the amount of time they wasted before bed by more than 60% and had less trouble with insomnia and daytime sleepiness.
