17、s. However, new research by the University ofArizona has found that it has no positive effect on psychological well-being. It also has a morelimited environmental benefit than the other option simply buying less.The study followed 968 young adults over a number of years. Throughout the study, partic

27、pounding heart and sweaty hands. Relax, you think to yourself it was justa bad dream. But are nightmares truly harmless? Psychologists arent so sure. Although some continue to believe bad dreams reduce psychological tensions by letting the brain act out its fears, recent research suggests that that

28、ordeals are more likely to increase anxiety in waking life.In one study Australian researchers asked 624 high school students about their lives andnightmares during the past year and assessed their stress levels. It is well known that stressful experiences cause nightmares, but if nightmares serve t
