Автор песни where is my mind

Suggest an example. Both Armstrong and Medley have publicly cited Stevie Nicks, the singer and writer of the song "Sara", as a primary influence. Ellen Benediktson born 25 April in Limhamn is a Swedish singer and songwriter best known for taking part in Melodifestivalen and British singer and songwriter Leona Lewis sampled "Head over Heels" for her song "Favourite Scar", included on her third studio album, Glassheart Producer and writer Labrinth provides vocals on the song's hook, but is uncredited.

Production and additional writing on the songs were done by Greg Wells, who previously worked with the singer on her second studio album, One of the Boys But over time the consultants learned to love their scheduled time off because it consistently replenished their willingness and ability to work, which made them more productive overall.

After five months employees experimenting with deliberate periodic rest were more satisfied with their jobs, more likely to envision a long-term future at the company, more content with their work—life balance and prouder of their accomplishments. Tony Schwartz, a journalist and CEO of The Energy Project , has made a career out of teaching people to be more productive by changing the way they think about downtime.

His strategy relies in part on the idea that anyone can learn to regularly renew their reservoirs of physical and mental energy. The answer is energy. To gauge how employees improve over time, Schwartz measures their level of engagement—that is, how much they like their jobs and are willing to go above and beyond their basic duties—a trait that many studies have correlated with performance.

Admittedly, this is not the most precise or direct measurement, but Schwartz says that time and again his strategies have pushed workers' overall engagement well above the average level and that Google has been satisfied enough to keep up the partnership for more than five years.

Put your mind at rest Many recent studies have corroborated the idea that our mental resources are continuously depleted throughout the day and that various kinds of rest and downtime can both replenish those reserves and increase their volume.

Consider, for instance, how even an incredibly brief midday nap enlivens the mind. By adulthood, most of us have adopted the habit of sleeping through the night and staying awake for most or all of the day—but this may not be ideal for our mental health and is certainly not the only way people have slept throughout history.

In somewhat the same way that hobbits in Tolkien's Middle Earth enjoy a first and second breakfast, people living without electricity in preindustrial Europe looked forward to a first and second sleep divided by about an hour of crepuscular activity. During that hour, they would pray, relieve themselves, smoke tobacco, have sex and even visit neighbors. Some researchers have proposed that people are also physiologically inclined to snooze during a 2 P.

As far back as the first century B. Under the influence of Roman Catholicism, noon became known as sexta the sixth hour, according to their clocks , a time for rest and prayer. Eventually sexta morphed into siesta. Plenty of studies have established that naps sharpen concentration and improve the performance of both the sleep-deprived and the fully rested on all kinds of tasks, from driving to medical care. A study , for example, analyzed four years of data on highway car accidents involving Italian policemen and concluded that the practice of napping before night shifts reduced the prospective number of collisions by 48 percent.

In a study by Rebecca Smith-Coggins of Stanford University and her colleagues, 26 physicians and nurses working three consecutive hour night shifts napped for 40 minutes at 3 A. Although doctors and nurses that had napped scored lower than their peers on a memory test at 4 A. In other situations micronaps may be a smarter strategy. An intensive study by Amber Brooks and Leon Lack of Flinders University in Australia and their colleagues pitted naps of five, 10, 20 and 30 minutes against one another to find out which was most restorative.

Over a span of three years 24 college students periodically slept for only five hours on designated nights. The day after each of those nights they visited the lab to nap and take tests of attention that required them to respond quickly to images on a screen, complete a word search and accurately copy sequences of arcane symbols.

But volunteers that napped 20 or 30 minutes had to wait half an hour or more for their sleep inertia to wear off before regaining full alertness, whereas minute naps immediately enhanced performance just as much as the longer naps without any grogginess.

Neurons in the wake circuit likely become fatigued and slow down after many hours of firing during the day, which allows the neurons in the sleep circuit to speed up and initiate the flip to a sleep state. Once someone begins to doze, however, a mere seven to 10 minutes of sleep may be enough to restore the wake-circuit neurons to their former excitability. Although some start-ups and progressive companies provide their employees with spaces to nap at the office, most workers in the U.

An equally restorative and likely far more manageable solution to mental fatigue is spending more time outdoors—in the evenings, on the weekends and even during lunch breaks by walking to a nearby park, riverfront or anywhere not dominated by skyscrapers and city streets.

Marc Berman , a psychologist at the University of South Carolina and a pioneer of a relatively new field called ecopsychology, argues that whereas the hustle and bustle of a typical city taxes our attention, natural environments restore it. Contrast the experience of walking through Times Square in New York City—where the brain is ping-ponged between neon lights, honking taxies and throngs of tourists—with a day hike in a nature reserve, where the mind is free to leisurely shift its focus from the calls of songbirds to the gurgling and gushing of rivers to sunlight falling through every gap in the tree branches and puddling on the forest floor.

In one of the few controlled ecopsychology experiments , Berman asked 38 University of Michigan students to study lists of random numbers and recite them from memory in reverse order before completing another attention-draining task in which they memorized the locations of certain words arranged in a grid.

Half the students subsequently strolled along a predefined path in an arboretum for about an hour whereas the other half walked the same distance through highly trafficked streets of downtown Ann Arbor for the same period of time. Back at the lab the students memorized and recited digits once again.

On average, volunteers that had ambled among trees recalled 1. Beyond renewing one's powers of concentration, downtime can in fact bulk up the muscle of attention—something that scientists have observed repeatedly in studies on meditation.

There are almost as many varieties and definitions of meditation as there are people who practice it. Although meditation is not equivalent to zoning out or daydreaming, many styles challenge people to sit in a quiet space, close their eyes and turn their attention away from the outside world toward their own minds. Mindfulness training has become more popular than ever in the last decade as a strategy to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. Studies comparing long-time expert meditators with novices or people who do not meditate often find that the former outperform the latter on tests of mental acuity.

In a study , for example, Sara van Leeuwen of Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Germany and her colleagues tested the visual attention of three groups of volunteers: 17 adults around 50 years old with up to 29 years of meditation practice; 17 people of the same age and gender who were not longtime meditators; and another 17 young adults who had never meditated before.

In the test, a series of random letters flashed on a computer screen, concealing two digits in their midst. Volunteers had to identify both numerals and to guess if they did not glimpse one in time; recognizing the second number is often difficult because earlier images mask it.

Performance on such tests usually declines with age, but the expert meditators outscored both their peers and the younger participants. Heleen Slagter of Leiden University in Amsterdam and her colleagues used the same type of attention test in a study to compare 17 people who had just completed a three-month meditation retreat in Barre, Mass.
