Life leson time!
Next time if you are preparing to make an important decision in your life and you are troubled whether it is right or wrong then you must drink a lot of water, make the ac super cool and wait for the bladder to fill up!
Apparently you make great decision on a full bladder! Full mind, well that it not very important!
This theory which got an Ignoble award was put forward by Mirjam Tuk!
Mirjam Tuk is from the faculty of behavioural sciences at the University of Twente, Netherlands. She and her colleagues won an Ig Nobel prize in medicine for their research into the effects of controlling your bladder on your ability to control decisions in other areas. The Ig Nobels, in their 21st year, are awarded for improbable research that “first makes people laugh and then makes them think”!
Of course it is intended to be taken in proper spirit or in this case, water!
But there is research into bladder and decision making which can actually make sense and maybe get a Noble next time!
Tuk came up with the idea after drinking several cups of coffee in an attempt to stay alert during a long lecture about biological factors that have a detrimental impact on self-control.
This made her and her team to experiment on her hypothesis!
One such experiment involved asking participants either to drink five cups of water or take small sips from five cups. Forty minutes later, the average amount of time it takes water to reach the bladder, participants were asked to make eight choices that would affect whether they received a small reward immediately or a large award later on!
The researchers also found that simply thinking about urination had the same effect in similar experiments.
Does that mean we should wait until our bladders are full before deciding whether to buy that house or car, invest in a certain stock or make a marriage proposal?
Well; take a drink of water and find out!
Now of course if the decision is to be the James Gordon in Gotham then Gary Leonard Oldman is definitely a choice made in a full…ahem brain!
Now don’t try that before you sleep! Don’t drink and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
