Do you find it difficult to sit in a desk chair and work for 15 minutes, yet easy and natural to sit at
a piano bench for two hours playing tunes? 1 , in school, was it impossible to remember
geometrical equations, while you can rattle off all the music notes? Or, do you sometimes get great
ideas for songs, and immediately stop 2 you’re doing and focus on that? 3 a few of these
are true, you might have ADD tendencies.
Attention deficit disorder, or ADD, is a group of disorders 4 affects approximately 5 to 1l
percent of the population, more common in boys than girls, and in children than adults. A person with
ADD could have difficulty concentrating, be constantly in motion, may come across as uncontrollable,
may have abnormal tendencies to overly focus on something. In many cases, an ADD individual will
compensate by seeking to intensify the amount of stimulation in their brain through seeking conflict,
self-medicating with coffee / tobacco / alcohol / drugs, and a host of other behaviors of varying degrees
healthiness or self-destructiveness.
Music is stimulating, and focusing on practice or listening can lead to increased proficiency, 5
music is a natural fit for many with ADD. That’s a potential reason 6 some feel unable to focus
on geometry, 7 able to focus on music theory: 8 music can stimulate an underactive brain.
Typically, ADD is associated with low activity in the brain, and music helps to raise blood flow and
overall activities. It can enhance neuronal connection.
9 ADD is considered a disorder, in fact, many people with ADD are high achievers and
may even consider it a benefit, and part of what makes them unusually effective. The internet is
abundant with lists of famous musicians who reportedly have ADD---some by their own admission and
others 10 diagnosis is widely speculative.

Anyone who has ever seen the reality show, The Biggest Loser, knows that it offers a cash prize to
the contestant who manages to lose the highest percentage of weight over the course of a season. Along
with 11 over the various weight loss methods used on the show, including diet pills, unhealthy
diets, and aggressive exercise regimens, there was also the simple fact that this 12 doesn’t seem
to work very well. Not only have studies shown that contestants often gain back the weight they lost
but some even gained even more weight afterward.
Even for contestant who did 13 to lose weight, their metabolisms rarely followed suit. As a
result, 14 weight loss becomes virtually impossible. According to one New York Times report
describing one of these studies, “What shocked the researchers was what happened next: As the years
went by and the numbers on the scale climbed, the contestants’ metabolisms did not 15 . It was
as if their bodies were intensifying their effort to pull the contestants back to their 16 weight.”
Even for people losing weight using medically 17 diets and exercise programs, research
into their long-term success has rarely found they have been 18 . For that matter, schools and
workplace settings, often alarmed by reports of an “obesity epidemic”, frequently implement programs
19 at getting children and workers to lose weight, usually through such strategies as encouraging
better nutrition and more exercise. 20 , they have not lived up to people’s expectation.

true, but I’ll just say that it 1 a family member’s extremely horrible health emergency.

feel guilty about dwelling on something I only 3 , but according to Alice Robb, author of Why
We Dream: The Transformative Power of Our Nightly Journey, out later this month, it’s 4 to

which nightmares seem to have contributed to heart attacks.”
6 , there are some strategies people can employ to reduce their nightmares’ frequency and
harm. In the long-term, Robb suggests practicing some dream techniques during the day. In her book,

even drive away their dream-foes.” She describes a 2006 experiment done by psychologists at Utrecht
University in the Netherlands, in which the researchers asked some 8 to practice clear dream
induction techniques on their own, gave private clear dreaming lessons to others, and then left a third
group untreated. Both groups that 9 clear dreaming techniques saw fewer nightmares as a
result: “Patients who learned in private sessions started out with an average of 3.6 nightmares, and that
number went down to 1.4,” Robb writes. “The 10 didn’t depend on achieving clarity; several
people who never managed to become clear in their dreams still had a reduction in nightmares.”
