Recent cannabis use is linked to either less than 6 hours- short sleep- or more than 9 hours of sleep- long sleep. The study was published in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. As of 2019, 45 million adults in the US reported using cannabis, which is double the figure reported in the early 2000s. In particular, the plant has become a popular sleep aid. There are conflicting findings, however, on whether the plant actually benefits sleep.

The radiation in space is not great for biological health. Space radiation is known to damage DNA. Many types of human cells have to frequently divide to replace cells that are worn out, old, or damaged, and the genome in the nucleus of cells has to be replicated each time they divide. Solar particles and cosmic rays have the potential to introduce mutations and errors in DNA, and that can lead to a host of problems including diseases like cancer.

Unfortunately, it’s commonplace to hear about our seas being polluted with plastic. Many articles and research projects have highlighted the abounding multitudes of plastic waste that reside throughout our oceans. Much of this refuse is in the form of microplastics, extremely small pieces of plastic that can take centuries or even millennia to break down into the kinds of molecules that are normally found in seawater.
