  • Could wanderlove give you more dating options?

    Could wanderlove give you more dating options?
    Apr 20 2026
    According to the most recent figures from the Association of British Travel Agents, the number of people going on holidays alone has soared over the last decade. In 2011, the proportion was just 6%, but in 2023 it had risen to 16%. The organisation’s media release said it showed people have a “strong appetite to go it alone”. And you could say the solo travel trend is part of the wider "self-love" movement, a personal development method named after the best-selling book of the same name written by American clinical social worker Megan Logan. Where does the trend come from? Are people really getting fed up with dating apps? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do our tastes change with age?

    Why do our tastes change with age?
    Apr 20 2026
    Have you ever avoided a type of food for a long time, assuming you hated it, only to try it out and then end up having something of a revelation? Think back to when you were a kid and there was a type of vegetable you simply wouldn’t go near, let alone eat. The chances are there’s at least one. It might have been broccoli, Brussels sprouts or spinach for example. Why does that happen then? What actually determines whether we like a food or don’t? Why does our perception of taste change over time then? Is it really possible to dislike a food at one stage of life and enjoy it later on?In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why are so many young people suffering from financial dysmorphia?

    Why are so many young people suffering from financial dysmorphia?
    Apr 19 2026
    When we hear the term dysmorphia, most of us think about body image, the gap between what we see in the mirror and reality. We’ve talked about Snapchat dysmorphia and body dysmorphia on Do You Really Know in the past. But the concept actually goes beyond physical appearance. Just as our brains can distort how we see our reflection, they can also skew our perception of money. This phenomenon is called financial dysmorphia. What’s that? How are social media and money connected? How can we beat financial dysmorphia? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What's the best alarm to wake up to?

    What's the best alarm to wake up to?
    Apr 19 2026
    Did you know that the alarm clock actually serves a greater purpose than simply rousing us from sleep? Whether it's the buzz of your smartphone, a breaking news update, or a soothing classical tune, your alarm sets the tone for the day ahead. And it can be quite the dilemma choosing between a jolting alarm which is guaranteed you wake you up or nature sounds that might end up lulling you back to sleep—or worse, not wake you up at all. Sydney Aten is an American neuroscientist who specialises in circadian rhythms and sleep. Talking to HuffPost.com for an article on alarm sounds which was published in 2023, she pointed out that waking up abruptly can be quite jarring for the body. It triggers a real surge of adrenaline, a hormone which is typically released in response to intense emotions or sensations. Basically, waking up to a loud or piercing sound can spike our heart rate and induce stress. What about using more neutral sounds then? What about hitting the snooze button - is that a good way to snag a few extra minutes of sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do we change our hairstyle when we’re depressed?

    Why do we change our hairstyle when we’re depressed?
    Apr 19 2026
    Our hair says a lot about our personalities —it’s a core part of our identity. It reflects who we are and how we want the world to perceive us. As noted by British hair historian Caroline Cox in her book Good Hair Days, “A hairstyle is the ultimate form of self-expression. It tells the world who you are—or who you want to be.” This idea highlights the powerful role hair plays in shaping and communicating our individuality. Why do major life changes push us toward the salon? Is it purely symbolic? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Could you be micro-flirting without realising it?
    Apr 18 2026
    There are plenty of ways to get the attention of someone you're crushing on. It might come very naturally to some, but for others, flirting can be an intimidating proposition. Have you ever wondered if someone is flirting with you, because of their somewhat ambiguous approach? Well, they may have been micro-flirting, a technique that dating experts say is used by shy men in particular. And there are actually some pretty recognisable under-the-radar strategies that qualify as micro-flirting, which is what we’re going to shed light on today. How exactly does one micro-flirt then? Why do shy people tend to veer towards a micro-flirting approach then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What are the secrets of a successful LAT couple?

    What are the secrets of a successful LAT couple?
    Apr 18 2026
    The idea might seem inconceivable to some, but these days more and more people are choosing to be in LAT relationships. The LAT part of the term stands for Living Alone Together, which means that LAT couples are in a committed romantic relationship, but each person maintains their own private life and space. Back in 2011, a research team began a multi-method study looking into how prominent LAT couples were in the UK. They went on to publish their findings in a research briefing in 2013, showing that 9% of adults in the UK are in a LAT couple. Just how common is that? What’s the appeal of a LAT arrangement? Are you saying people in LAT couples will automatically argue less? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • How can I beat my work addiction?

    How can I beat my work addiction?
    Apr 18 2026
    Being a grafter or hustler is often portrayed in a positive light when it comes to the world of work. But there are a host of negative consequences that can arise when a person becomes a workaholic. The term was invented by American psychologist Wayne Oates back in 1971. Oates said workaholics had “an uncontrollable need to work incessantly”, and called it an addiction. It’s a real mental health condition, and like with other addictions, it manifests as the inability to stop doing something. So it basically means working really long hours, does it? Who is most likely to become a workaholic? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
