| dc.description.abstract | This lecture dealt with various topics relating to technology, neurobiology and the function of sleep as well as the characteristics of rest. In a pragmatic way, an original approach was taken by trying to answer several story-related questions, such as: - When we talk about technology, we inevitably think about access to and use of the internet. How can we measure the impact of technology today in Portugal and in the world? - Should we be concerned about the exponential growth in the use of social networks and e-commerce? - Can the reported statistical data be the ground truth, or is there a certain subjectivity that must be taken into account when analysing it? - Today there are smartwatches and a variety of technologies that allow us to track our sleep. There is a lot of talk about "quantity versus quality". Do we know how to interpret the results? - How can we tell if our sleep was effective without needing a detailed diagnosis? - Are we sufficiently informed about what sleep is and what it does to us? How would you explain in a simple way how this element, which is so important for our health, works? - We often wake up with the feeling that we haven’t rested enough and take it for granted – it’s the “new normal”. Is that dangerous? - Will the overuse of technology that is directly related to light exposure render the sleep cycle ineffective? - There is a lot of talk about blue light. It's often associated with sleep and falling asleep. What are the consequences of exposure to this light? - We are used to only talking about the negative effects of using technology on the brain. But are there also benefits? - The exponential growth in the use of technology can now even be seen in schools. Teenagers are the most affected by this technological phenomenon. What tips would be helpful to protect yourself from the surge we are experiencing? - How can this decline in emotional intelligence affect the critical minds of young people? - What does the future of sleep health look like? | |
