Experiencing insomnia? Yoga, tai chi, walking may help you sleep better: Study

If you are suffering from insomnia, performing exercises such as yoga, tai chi, walking, and jogging may help improve sleep quality, according to a study. The findings, published in the online journal BMJ Evidence Based Medicine, back the use of exercise as a primary treatment strategy for poor sleep patterns. Insomnia is characterised by difficulties falling and staying asleep, or waking up too early in the morning. It is associated with heightened risks of various mental and physical health conditions, including dementia and cardiovascular disease. Drug treatments for insomnia come with side effects, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), while effective, isn’t always available due to the shortage of trained therapists, explained the researchers from Beijing University of Chinese Me...

Wireless Charging Is About to Get a Lot Faster

The Qi wireless charging standard has been around since 2010, and it's changed quite a bit in those 15 years. What started as a puny 5W standard has evolved to, widely, 15W—not blazing fast, but still quick enough to make it worthwhile. And with the Qi2 standard, the industry adopted Apple's MagSafe design. Since then, you've been able to buy chargers that magnetically connect to the wireless charging coils in your devices, so you don't need to worry about lining everything up perfectly to charge. Qi2 has been a standard since 2023, and even when it launched, it promised improvements down the road. Notably, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which develops the standard, said that Qi2's 15W power transfer would increase in the future, allowing for faster charging. Now, in 2025, it appears...

Hearing loss, loneliness may accelerate dementia risk in elderly: Study

Hearing loss combined with the feelings of loneliness accelerates cognitive decline, leading to dementia in older adults, according to a study. Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) in Switzerland showed that isolation, communication difficulties, reduced alertness, and hearing impairment or loss are a real challenge in daily life. The findings, published in the journal Communications Psychology, showed that hearing loss accelerates cognitive decline, particularly among individuals who feel lonely, regardless of whether they are socially isolated. ‘‘We found that people who were not socially isolated but who felt lonely saw their cognitive decline accelerate when they were deaf,’’ said Matthias Kliegel, professor in the Cognitive Ageing Laboratory in UNIGE. The team analyse...

Ford, Carney governments told to ‘do some homework’ on duties to First Nations

The group of Ontario First Nations taking the federal and provincial governments to court over fast-track legislation, which will sidestep or suspend a range of legal protections, says the Crown is failing in its duties.

The action looks to have a court rule the entirety of Ontario’s Bill 5 unconstitutional, as well as large parts of the federal government’s Bill C-5.At Queen’s Park on Wednesday, four of the First Nations leaders involved spoke about their concerns with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach.“I would say they’re less informed,” Alderville First Nation Chief Taynar Simpson said. “I would say they nee...
