Sitting down to do a few puzzles and riddles is my favorite way to kill time. No matter how tired I feel, spending an hour with my sudoku book always leaves me awake and with a clear mind.
Humans nowadays have our brains full of things we need to do, for example washing clothes, doing the dishes, picking up the kids and many other little things that require our concentration. What can I tell you? Being an independent adult sure is awesome, but tiring.
So to be able to take all that, we need to take a break every now and then to clear our minds. It’s healthy for the brain to exercise regularly, just as you should take a walk every day or go for a run once or twice every week.
