Why do we get grumpy when we're hungry?
According to USA Today, the word “hangry” entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2018. It’s a portmanteau term which combines the words “hungry” and “angry”. While it might sound a little silly or light-hearted, there’s evidence to suggest that getting grumpy is a pretty common reaction to feeling hungry. The scientific reasons aren’t completely clear. But it kind of makes sense when you consider that the hypothalamus in the brain not only regulates feelings of hunger and fullness, but is also responsible for regulating mood. Getting grumpy when hungry is also a survival reflex to some extent. After all, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, so being hungry was literally a threat to their lives. What exactly happens in our bodies when we're hungry ? Could that be due to hypoglycemia ? What can I do to avoid getting in a bad mood if I can't eat ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is the war on wee?
Public urination has long been a nuisance in the United Kingdom, as it is in many other countries. But it’s really gotten worse in the last few years, and that’s down to the Covid-19 crisis in particular. British authorities decided to close public toilets for hygiene reasons. And that’s actually exacerbated a longer-term trend, which has seen around 50% of public toilets closed in the last decade, according to the managing director of the British Toilet Association, as quoted by The Guardian. And public toileting is actually a health problem in itself. After all, urine can erode buildings and create pollution. It’s prompted cities around the world to clamp down, in a phenomenon media outlets have playfully labelled the “war on wee”. What are authorities doing to deter people? What creative solutions have been seen? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : Why do players have to wear white at Wimbledon?

Why do our bodies need to sleep?
Sleep is often seen as a waste of time. Many businessmen, politicians, and celebrities boast about sleeping only 5 hours per night or even being insomniacs. However, despite its sometimes bad reputation, sleep is essential for maintaining good health and aging well. Bear in mind that no one has ever gone longer than 11 and a half days without sleeping. As a point of comparison, Scottish man Angus Barbieri went 382 days without eating any solid food in the 1960s, and in 1979 an Austrian man survived 18 days without any food or water. So you can understand just how essential sleep is for human life. What does our body do during sleep ? What happens during REM sleep ? Does sleep also help us assimilate experiences we've had during the daytime ? Are there any other theories out there? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Is cracking my knuckles bad for me?
If you’re asking yourself whether cracking your knuckles is a bad thing, we'll take it as a given that you do crack your knuckles. You’ve probably also been told at some point that doing so will give you arthritis, most likely by someone already annoyed at you doing it! So, just how seriously should you be taking the know-it-alls? As you’re probably aware, many people find the noise pretty off-putting, or just downright annoying. But many people say they get a physical release from cracking their joints, leading to a feeling of looseness and a brief increase in mobility. Although a lot of the time, it’s simply an unconscious habit. Why is knuckle cracking so satisfying? Where does the noise come from? Is it harmful in the long run? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: Do tongue scrapers actually help with bad breath? Do our brains really tell the whole story about us?

How can I avoid putting on weight when giving up smoking?
According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of smokers in the UK is estimated at 6.6 million. The proportion has been steadily dropping for years now. Given the health risks, you’d think smokers would be delighted to give up, but the prospect of putting on weight is a cause of concern for many. To be fair, it i’s a well-founded fear to some extent. In 2014, Addiction journal reported that the average prevalence of weight gain after quitting smoking was 80%. In such cases, the average weight gain is 5 - 10lb. Of course, putting on a few pounds is far less dangerous than continuing to smoke, so the choice to quit should still be a no-brainer. Nevertheless, let’s delve deeper into the post-quitting weight gain phenomenon. What effects do cigarettes have on the body? It must be difficult not to start compulsive eating, mustn’t it? What about going on a diet? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is eatertainment, the "next-level" dining experience?

What is the two-day rule?

Just like with New Year’s resolutions, we often stick to them to start with, but let them slip after a few weeks. Today we’re going to talk about a method which may well help you stay on track: the two-day rule. Is it really possible to adopt a good habit in just two days? How long does it take to establish a habit? Are there other tips for forming good habits? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is a man child?
No doubt you’ve heard at some point in your life that girls are more mature than boys. As a result, we tend to forgive childlike behaviour in men more easily, even in adulthood. Living with immature men can be a struggle for their partners. What’s more, Peter Pan syndrome is sometimes used as justification for behaviour that’s difficult to live with. You may remember that we discussed the topic in a previous episode of Do You Really Know. And another term for someone who displays Peter Pan Syndrome is a man child! What are the main characteristics of men children? Does it get better with time at least? What can you do to avoid this behaviour? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
