I am feeling depressed over a tv show (vampire diaries) Help!!?
I love that show too and yes the Season 4 finale was epic. But you have a few choices you can either A. Cut yourself off cold turkey. Go do something pretty intense like workout or church (depending on religion anything in a setting that makes you feel guilty for leaving) in a group enviorment with other people so you have no choice but to focus on activity at hand B.Attempt to relive the Elena footsteps, go on a date, go to a haunted house (ghost or parnormal tour) or a vampire club, There quite a few here, never been, but just research your nearest big city. Even craigslist. the reason I advise this as when plunging yourself in to a fictional world head on and emerse yourself in it, makes it easier to sifer reality from fiction. Or you feed into the delusion and makes thing better. Now Im only on my first year of my PhD so I got about 18 more months before Im a real psychologist but from the context since you did become so engullfed in the show easily, it might mean you are unhappy with your life in someway, why you found happiness in fiction. So why cutting yourself off is probaly the best choice. Just step away and find out what in your present state is making you upset. But if this doesnt work go to option B and imerse yourself into the subculture, this will help your mind relize that the show is pure fiction. Now tread with caution into option B it might make it worse or better. But the reason I offered optition B because in most cases like these when someone cuts themselves off from a fictional pleasure. They often long for the reality. So tread lightly. Nothing is wrong with you. You just need to find happiness in reality and fiction. If that is making your fiction reality or realizing its fiction. Do what is best for you.
Setting My Wife Up With Another Man?
My wife is going through a bit of a midlife crisis. After 18 years of marriage and 15 years ofbeing a stay at home mom, she does not feel sexy or attractive, She is bored with her life. This past week I met her for dinner and arrange for another man to hit on her before she got there. They talked for 25 minutes or so, but when I arrived she had me take her to the table quickly. She was all smiles. I am still communicating with the guy and I am arranging for another "chance" meeting. I know that if this leads to an affair, it will be a great thing for her confidence and overall "excitement" in life. Has anyone ever done this before? How did this work?

Why do we feel sleepy during lectures?
John Medina, in his book Brain Rules, introduces data that forms the following graph:The data shows that student attention level takes a dive, approximately 10 minutes into a lesson. This is a natural occurrence (and I believe the reason YouTube videos were initially limited to <9 minutes), but can be dealt with by a good instructor. The problem is most instructors (particularly at the university level) know next to nothing about the learning process and instructional theory. A good instructor will introduce variation into a lesson every 10 minutes to regain the students' attention (as depicted in the below graph).This variation can be accomplished in many ways - from inserting a student activity to asking questions or otherwise soliciting involvement from the students to changing the delivery style or mechanism.The problem is that so many instructors see instructing as a one-way communication. If a student is not contributing to the communication, they lose focus and many literally go to sleep.There are other triggers for sleeping during lessons, such as eating a large meal immediately before the lesson, poor ventilation in the classroom, and tired students.
