Love binge-watching the latest series online, gaming, chatting with your partner, or probably just staying up doing nothing all night? If yes, you are officially a night owl. While it might sound like a good idea to stay up late and catch up on pending stuff, it takes a toll on you the next day. If like us, you cannot get yourself to sleep before 2 am, you will relate to these situations.

1. You will feel irritated and moody all day and might keep yelling at everyone for no reason.

Thanks to barely a few hours of sleep, you will experience mood swings all day long. Even the smallest remark from your folks or friends can get you to snap. The best thing you can do here is to try to get through the day and then get to bed early at night.

 2. You will need copious amount of coffee the next day.

Just because caffeine can at least keep you awake! Your brain will try shutting down right when you need it to work. Still, sometimes even an espresso won’t work because all you need is sleep, not more coffee.

3. You might end up yawning non-stop in the middle of your office presentation, and get into trouble with your boss.

Please avoid this scenario at least when your appraisals are approaching. Instead of getting embarrassed like that, just pop in some mint and try to focus on the presentation.

4. You might miss waking up on time (after snoozing your alarm clock a million times), and get late for work.

That little alarm clock is trying to do you good, but still, you obviously cannot pull yourself from the bed because your brain wants to sleep more. Snoozing it repeatedly will only be troublesome for you, so maybe you either sleep early or get a dumbbell alarm clock that won’t stop till you do 20 reps. Now, which one sounds better?

5. Your concentration will go for a toss and you might end up muddling things.

Well, thinking straight can become quite a challenge in this scenario! You never know when you might end up walking into a pole or sending the wrong mail to the wrong client. You might literally need to keep pinching yourself all day to keep yourself awake.

6. You’ll feel really lazy even during an interesting activity like eating.

Even when your friends drag you enthusiastically outside to your favourite restaurant, you might just feel way too tired to enjoy it.

7. You will spend the rest of the day dreaming of your bed.

Well, this is that one constant thought you will be having all day long! YOUR BED SWEET BED.

You can avoid getting into all this if you just sleep right. Though you might feel that sleeping is the most non-productive activity, it is the surely the most important one for your body! Nevertheless, just sleeping isn’t enough, it should be good sleep!

Check out how sleep deprived you really are. Use the Sleep-O-Meter at www.sleepat10.com to get your Sleep Score. Get tips on how to develop a regular sleeping pattern and make sleep your ally.

India’s Jagadish Chandra Bose Is The Reason Why The World Will Enjoy Super Fast 5G Internet.

In the evolution of digital communication tech, 5G is just around the corner. Yet, despite its more recent applications in the industry, the technology itself has a surprisingly long history, one rooted in India. And thanks to the critical contributions of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, the world will reap the benefits of 5G Internet very soon!

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose pioneered research in millimetre wave communication even before the invention of the radio in 1895

SIR JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE PIONEERED RESEARCH IN MILLIMETRE WAVE COMMUNICATION EVEN BEFORE THE INVENTION OF THE RADIO IN 1895

Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi is credited with first inventing the telegraph in 1895, a device that used what we now know as radio waves to send an electromagnetic signal across distance. However, at the same time that Marconi was pioneering the first commercial use of telegraphy as a communication, Indian polymath Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was working to understand the nature of the phenomenon.

 Born on 30 November, 1858, at Mymensingh — which is now in modern day Bangladesh — Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose attended Cambridge after studying physics at Calcutta University. He was the first to demonstrate radio communication with millimetre wavelengths, which fall in the 30GHz to 300GHz spectrum.

Bose’s outstanding contributions in the field are now finally getting him the recognition he deserves, as his studies form the basis of the evolving 5G internet standard.

“I take a lot of inspiration from Bengal and Kolkata because it is here that radio communication was born,” said Ramjee Prasad, professor of Future Technologies for Business Ecosystem Innovation, Aarhus University, Denmark, on the sidelines of the IEEE International 5G Summit in Kolkata last week. “The millimetre wave that J C Bose worked on is the backbone of developing 5G. Marconi and Russian scientists Alexander Stepanovich Popov, who were also conducting similar experiments, were working with much lower frequencies. In fact, the technology that Marconi used was developed by Bose.”

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the largest international body dedicated to advancement of technology, has recognised Bose’s 1895 experiment demonstrating short-wave communication as a milestone achievement nearly 120 years later. Bose generated 5mm electromagnetic waves, 60GHz, before instruments even evolved to measure frequencies that low.

Bose invented the crystal radio detector, waveguide, horn antenna, and other apparatus used with microwave frequencies

BOSE INVENTED THE CRYSTAL RADIO DETECTOR, WAVEGUIDE, HORN ANTENNA, AND OTHER APPARATUS USED WITH MICROWAVE FREQUENCIES

“In the scientific community, Bose is now gaining recognition as the father of radio science and semiconductors technology,” remarked Suvra Sekhar Das, associate professor at the GS Sanyal School of Telecommunication at IIT-Kharagpur. “His experiments in the early 1890’s and early 1900’s with millimetre wave radio frequencies were much ahead of his time — so much so that the time has only come now. While advancement in semiconductor technology led to smartphones, millimetre wave communication technology may bring about a more wirelessly connected world tomorrow.”

Bose’s millimetre waves have found applications in a variety of fields since their discovery over a century ago — they’re used in everything from radio telescopes to radar and, more recently, for collision-warning systems and cruise control in modern day cars. “Bose was a giant who worked single-handedly at the Presidency College laboratory, overcoming racial discrimination, lack of funding and equipment,” said Debasish Datta, professor of electronics and electrical communication engineering at IIT-Kharagpur. “Bose’s experiment was proof of concept. The application happened much later. Now, both of them have to happen simultaneously.”
