There is an old theory that eating cheese before bed causes bad dreams, although scientists don't have much evidence to prove it.

But if cheese can't make us dream, new research from the US says that perhaps an app could — and they don't have to be bad dreams!

Researchers experimented with an app that they designed to encourage people to have lucid dreams. These are dreams that feel vivid and real.

During lucid dreams, people know that they're dreaming and may even be able to control what happens in the dream.

Not everyone has lucid dreams. It's thought that about half of us will have them during our lives, but some people may have them regularly.

Lucid dreams may be useful for us: experts think they could encourage creativity and problem-solving, or help us with nightmares.

The app in the study used a method called "targeted lucidity reactivation" that is supposed to make people more likely to experience lucid dreams.

This is usually done in a laboratory, but the researchers wanted to see how effective an app used at home could be.

They did two experiments to see if the app could increase the frequency of participants' lucid dreams.

The first experiment included 19 participants. Before going to sleep, they did a 20-minute activity that encouraged them to enter a "lucid mindset" when they heard certain sounds.

These same sounds were then played during the night. The frequency of the participants' lucid dreams more than doubled during the week of the experiment.

Fifty people completed the second experiment. They were put into three groups, with one group using the targeted lucidity reactivation method.

The people in this group reported that they had experienced more lucid dreams during the week of the experiment than those in the two control groups.

The researchers said these results suggest that apps like this could help people to use sleep for "personal benefits" including "spiritual and personal growth."

App Could Help People to Have Lucid Dreams

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.

En el episodio de esta semana hablo de insultos. Probablemente pienses que no es un tema muy agradable, pero….no hablo de insultos fuertes, sino de insultos que muchas veces usamos de forma cariñosa, y que son bastante divertidos.

Este podcast es un esfuerzo conjunto, porque para elegir los insultos he consultado con amigos y familiares para estar segura que compartía los insultos graciosos más comunes, no solo según mi criterio.

Espero que lo disfrutes. Y…¡No te olvides de decirme qué piensas y tu insulto favorito en los comentarios!

后悔！Regrets!

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は雨です。
気温は16℃です。

さて、このPodcastもいよいよ99回目になりました。
録音できていない日もありますが、その分、1日に2回録音している日もあります。ですので、結果的には、このPodcastをはじめてから毎日配信しているペースで続けています。

次はいよいよ100回目です。
ということで、ルーティン、習慣について話そうと思います。

みなさんは、はじめようと思ったことを、ずっと続けていることはありますか？私は意志が強くないので、続けていることはとても少ないです。ですが、最近になって、ようやく続けるコツをつかんできました。

ポイントは簡単にすることです。
簡単にしても続けることは大変ですね。
でも、難しくするともっともっと大変です。

例えば、ランニングを続けたい、と思った時、どう予定を立てますか？もちろん、はじめはモチベーションが高いです。ですので、週に5回、毎回10キロ走る！など高めの目標設定をしてしまいます。でもそれは結局、続きません。人はモチベーションをずっと同じに保つのはとても難しいですね。モチベーションが下がる時もあります。そんな時のことも考えた上で、目標設定をするのがいいと思います。ですので、ランニングを始めたい時は、週に2.3回、2.3キロからはじめるとかが良いと思います。もちろん人によります。本当にランニングの習慣を作るのが初めての人は、週に1回、1キロから、とかでもいいかもしれません。

簡単そうかもしれませんが、それを続けるのは意外と難しいですね。でもその簡単な目標を決めてクリアしていくことで達成感を積み重ねていって、自信がついてきます。その後に少しずつ、走る日数や走る距離を増やしていくと良いと思います。

はじめから欲張らないように、続けるのが大変と感じないように、毎回それをするのが楽しくなるぐらいになると、無意識に続けられるようになります。そして、この達成感が得られると、他のものにも応用ができるようになります。

私は、このPodcastを始める前にも、他にも何回か、ルーティンにするまでのチャレンジをしたことがあります。何度も失敗もしました。だから、どうやったら続けられるかがわかりました。

みなさんも何かを始める時は簡単な目標設定からはじめてくださいね！

そして、このPodcastも、1回の時間をとても短くしています。だいたい2.3分ですね。すぐ終わりますので、いつでも聞けるし、何回も聞けると思います。

日本語学習をしているみなさん、ぜひ日本語に耳を慣らすために、何度も何度も聞いてみてくださいね。

ということで、今回は習慣について話しました。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
