Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Depression may lead to cognitive decline via social isolation
Depression may lead to cognitive decline via social isolation
A longitudinal study found that depressive symptoms increase social isolation, which in turn contributes to cognitive decline in older adults. This pathway is unidirectional and, though modest, provides a significant explanation for how depression impacts cognitive health over time.

Older adults sleep better after a hot tub bath, particularly during winter
A study in Japan found a simple way for older adults to improve sleep: taking a hot-tub bath before bed. Published in Sleep Health, the research showed this habit was especially effective during the winter months.

Vulnerability to stress magnifies how a racing mind disrupts sleep
Vulnerability to stress magnifies how a racing mind disrupts sleep
New research suggests that an individual's underlying vulnerability to stress plays a key role in how pre-sleep thoughts can fragment their night's rest, helping to explain why some people are more prone to developing sleep problems.
