Sneezing is a natural phenomenon which is a response to any unwanted particle in our respiratory system that enters it and causes irritation. It is a reflex action and therefore is controlled by the brain directly.

A quick nap every now and then keeps me active all day long and I never miss a chance to have it; this really makes a lot of difference in my health and daily routine. Sleep is a very important biological activity that is necessary for our well-being.

Science is about questions and looking for their answers. If Newton hadn’t wondered and looked for why the apple fell to the Earth instead of going up, we might have never found out about gravity. So, like Newton, this section is a quest to find answers in the field of science, logic, and theories. If you have a question about science that you’d like answered, send it to Chitwan at features@theotherpress.ca
