  Sleep is a simple feature in our lives that, within the perspective of today's busy world, gets little or no attention. Despite this important way to help keep our overall well-being in check, much of us fight with getting quality sleep. In this article, we take a look at the importance of sleep, the consequences of sleep deprivation, and effective ways of improving sleep quality. Chapter 1: The Science of Sleep and Its Importance Sleep is a rather passive process, yet it is also an essential biological activity that helps in maintaining health-and not just physical health. Sleeping and wakefulness are regulated by what is called the circadian rhythm, or more colloquially known as a 24-hour cycle. This internal clock controls a variety of biological activities, including the synthesis of hormones, metabolism, cellular repair processes, and much more, based on visual stimuli or indicators such as light and darkness. The body passes through several stages in sleep, each serving a u...

  Introduction Wall Street, the very epicentre of global finance, has long been equated with power, wealth, and influence. The financial markets here are not just barometers of economic health but turn out to be the battleground where some of the most ambitious and skilled players, at times dubbed Wall Street tycoons, maneuver in trying to shape the world's financial landscape.

  By Sir Barron Qasem II Throughout history, human society has been characterized by hierarchy and competition. As a hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, and someone deeply invested in the world of finance and the arts, I have seen firsthand how these forces shape our world. I firmly believe that elitism and Social Darwinism are not only natural but essential for the progress of civilization. Understanding Elitism: A Natural Order Elitism is often misunderstood and vilified in contemporary discourse, but it is, in essence, the recognition of excellence and merit. In every society, certain individuals possess superior abilities, intellect, and drive, which distinguish them from the rest. This is not a matter of privilege but of capability.
