Pink Noise

How many times have you spent a sleepless night? The sure answer is "a lot". Technology advances to make life simpler, not only during the day but also at night.

A new application used by NASA astronauts will help you fall asleep while also being good for your health. Sleep Genius is a revolutionary application for iOS and Android users.

This application emits pink noise, a continuous sound of low frequencies with a proven somniferous effect in the brain. During the night, you program an alarm that is most convenient for you, and in the morning you will wake up refreshed, without any kind of stress. When it comes to waking up, Sleep Genius does not use an annoying alarm, but gradual sounds that allow you to wake up naturally, without leaving your dream abruptly. Don’t abuse the application or... 

If you think that's its only function, you're wrong. It doesn't only only help you to fall asleep. During the day many people are stressed because they not only have a lot of work or responsibilities, but the fast pace of life does not allow them to rest well. The application also includes a feature that helps you relax and reduce stress thanks to the pink noise (great for times of exams hahah).

What do you think about this new method for sleeping or relaxing? Would you use it? See you on the next blog!

Porto

Porto is a beautiful city located in the northwest of Portugal.  This city is full of interesting places to visit.

One of the most visited places is the cathedral. This gothic cathedral is amazing, the outside is enormous and beautiful, but the inside is breathtaking. It is decorated by an amazing number of arches, and the walls are covered with incredible paintings.

The bridge of Don Luis I is an amazing architectural work. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel, so it has some similarities with the Eiffel tower.

The “Casa da música” is an amazing  newly- built, amazing auditorium. A lot of important musicians and dancers act there, it is the perfect place to visit if you like music but you will have to reserve your tickets because this auditorium is always full.

The Duero is an amazing river that crosses the city, you can see it from one of the many bridges that are in the city. You can also see its amazing river mouth where the crystalline water of the Duero mixes with the ocean.

The place I found most interesting is the Lello library. It´s a breathtaking library considered the most beautiful in the world by several newspapers, travel brochures and by me. It is located in the historical centre of the city and  it was built in 1869. It is said that the amazing author of Harry Potter: J. K. Rowling was inspired by this library to create the magical world of Harry Potter.

If you are an art lover or if you like to be amazed by incredible, historic places, you have to visit Porto.
