Brain enables sight without light
Ok, so the side "news" headline has no link to its story, but no matter.

The headline is enough for what I wanted to say.

Did you know that you on your fingertips, (with much practice and perseverance) you can actually read a newspaper, simply with the tips of your fingers.

Thats right, and back in the day, when the cold war was going on the Russians did a hell of a lot of research with this as well as telapathy etc, and found that many people have sifficient sensitivity in their fingertips that enables them to distinguish colors for the lesser responsive, and going all the way up to the more sensitive, to be able to read text with their finger tips.

Thats what I thought this story was about.

Perhaps by tomorrow the link will be added and this post might be on topic, or otherwise.

Never the less an interresting discovery that seems to have been forgotten over the last few decades.

Here we treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (mainly caused by the long and dark winters) by wearing earplugs that shine a very bright light into your ear canals and brain. Can't say for sure that the device works, but they are being sold in pharmacies that have a very strict policy of not selling anything else than proven and mainstream medical products.

Yep, that is a proven example of human diurnal cycles.

We need a degree of dailigt light in order to maintain our daily life sequences.

It is well known that people in the highter and very lower ends of the planet, away from the equator miss these essential timing sequencs that balance our more regulated but artificial routines.

I for one suffer severely from working a massive part of my life as a night shift worker and find that I cannot retire early, or arise early as a result of those routines.

Apart from those individual variations, science also tells us that when we live in cities like for instance New York where it is never dark, there are quite identifiable problems with peoples sleeping and waking patterns, the pure light and pure dark, which then leads to problems with concentration and work efficiencies.

It is very important to have a period of a minimum of half an hour a day in direct sunlight and just as equally important is a period in TOTAL darkness.

I have also heard that an hours sleep before midnight is equal to two or three hours of sleep after middnight.

This came from medical/ health circles but I cant quote the origins of this information these days.

It does however give some credibility to the concept that our bodies do have senses that for the most part we arent readily aware of, such as being able to train ourselves to read a newspaper with our fingertips.

Good hints can however be learnt by carefully observing say a blind person and how the absence of one sense can be replaced by hightened senses with what remains, sometimes these people can do things that cant easily be accounted for by the obvious, and there are many examples of that.
