So, hands up if you can't go to bed without a quickscan through your various social media profiles.

We're guessing most of you have two arms in the air right now, but have you ever stopped to think what effect this bedtime habit could be having on your health. 

Well, a new study has revealed the true extent to which our mobile phone usage is impacting our health, well-being and even our relationships with others. 

Speaking to Business Insider, Dr. Dan Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, explained just how harmful staring at a bright screen before going asleep can be.

“People are exposing their eyes to this stream of photons that basically tell your brain to stay awake and not go to sleep yet.”

“You're checking your explain, you're looking for texts. It tells your brain don't secrete melatonin yet, it's not time for sleep.

So, in short, your go-to bedtime ritual is actually preventing you from getting a quality night's sleep.

Not only can a poor night's sleep leave us feeling rough the next day, according to Dr. Siegel, “If you don't get seven to nine hours of sleep, you're brain's melatoin is still hard at work.

"It makes your attention falter, your memory is impaired, your ability to think through problems is changed, your insulin that helps regulate your metabolism is turned upside down so you’re more likely to gain weight from what you eat. It’s actually toxic."

So, perhaps it's time to turn off the phones and invest in a good old-fashioned alarm clock instead.

Hailing from Dublin, Tia now lives in Toronto, Canada, where she works as a plus-sized model.

Tia is committed to embracing and celebrating diversity in the world of fashion, and in a recent interview with Vouge Italia, she spoke about why she decided to start the project.

The project has caught the eye of some high-profile celebrities including, Kim Kardashian and Ashton Kutcher, who shared the campaign with millions of followers on Facebook.

So, weddings are supposed to be all about the couple who are choosing to spend the rest of their lives with each other right?

Not according to this guy.

One unnamed bride recently wrote to Slate Magazine's advice column Dear Prudence, revealing how the 'best man' her wedding used the opportunity to propose to his own girlfriend.

But that's not all, he also announced that he and long-term partner, Jane, were expecting a child.

Talk about stealing someone's thunder.

The letter which was later shared on Twitter read: "My husband and I started dating, got pregnant, had a child, moved in together, bought a house and got a dog in that order."

"Our friends and family have asked us for years why we weren’t married yet. We always pushed it off to build better lives. We’ve done really well for ourselves and finally reached a point where we could afford a huge blowout wedding to celebrate our lives with everyone we know and love. My husband’s best friend, “John”, was the best man/officiant."

"The setting was beautiful, everyone seemed happy, our families were overjoyed. My mum may have used the phrase “Hallelujah’” a few dozen times. The entire atmosphere felt moving."

"So moving in fact, that John stopped mid-ceremony to propose to his longtime girlfriend, “Jane”, and reveal her pregnancy."

The day, which was meant to be all about the bride and groom, then became focused on John and Jane. 

"I couldn’t even hear the vows my husband wrote or the rest of the ceremony over the noise of Jane’s happy sobs," she wrote. 

"John even went out of his way to ask the band for a special dance for just him and Jane on the dance floor."

The absolute cheek.

Needless to say, when Twitter users got wind of this bizarre story they were not one bit happy. 

The bride finished the letter by asking if she was being unreasonable. 

The answer? No. Absolutely not.

OK, so you're just about to finish work, your make-up has been on point all day, and your mate texts you: 'drinks later?'.

Obviously the answer is yes, you look great and it'd be a shame to keep that perfectly winged eyeliner to yourself, but there's just one problem – you probably need to shower.

Every woman knows the devastation of taking off a killer makeup look before it's served its time, but now one women has found an ingenious solution to the problem – wear goggle in the shower (duh!).

 

22-year-old Lauren recently took to Tumblr to demonstrate her exciting hack.

The photos quickly went viral with many praising Lauren for her innovation.

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, she said: “It literally blew up overnight. Like, the next morning after posting it I had like 5,000 notes.” 

“Then the next week I had 22,000 notes, and now I have almost 100,000 on the original post,” she added.

“My hair is greasy and by the end of the day I had my makeup on and I wanted to go out with my friends, but I'd be dead before I wasted another pair of lashes and 45 minutes blending eyeshadow,” she said.

It seems Lauren's post struck a cord with her fellow Tumblr users, with many revealing that this is a struggle they often face.

We have to admit, we are super impressed.

Piers Morgan has apologised to Ariana Grande after condemning her for not visiting the victims of the Manchester terror attack last week.

The outspoken television presenter took to Twitter during the One Love Manchester concert, to admit that he had 'misjudged' the singer.

Following the news that the Queen had visited the Manchester Children's hospital in the days following the attack, Piers tweeted, "If the Queen can visit the victims in hospital, so can the star they paid to see." He added, "I expected her to stay, visit & comfort her wounded fans & relatives of those who died".

The comments received huge backlash online, but he refused to apologise even after Ariana announced she would visit the victims in hospitals around Manchester.

Speaking during Sunday night's One Love Manchester concert, Ariana revealed how she was inspired to change the set list for the benefit gig after the mother of Olivia Campbell-Hardy, one of the victims said her daughter 'would have wanted to hear the hits'.

"I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia's mummy a few days ago and I started to cry and gave her a big hug and she said 'stop crying, because Olivia wouldn't have wanted you to cry'.

"And then she told me Olivia would have wanted to hear the hits. We had a different show planned and we had a rehearsal yesterday and we changed everything."

As well as organising the benefit concert, the 23-year-old singer has offered to to pay for the funerals of the victims and her record label donated $500,000 to the We Love Manchester Fund.

Last night, Ariana Grande returned to Manchester for the One Love Manchester – a concert organised by the singer to remember the victims of the terror attack that claimed 22 lives following her performance on May 22.

Ariana called on some of the best in the business to join her on stage, including, Take That, Robbie Williams, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay and Black Eyed Peas.

There was even a surprise performance from Oasis front man, Liam Gallagher who emotionally charged rendition of Live Forever, left the crowds at Old Trafford, and indeed everyone watching at home lost for words.

Here's how the night went down from start to finish.

Marcus Mumford opened the show with a solo performance of Mumford and Son's Timshel. 

It was then time for Take That to take to the stage. The trio entertained the crowds with hits Shine, We are Giants and Rule the World, before welcoming their former band mate, Robbie Williams to the stage. Unfortunately the guys didn't perform together, but they did take a moment to stand united before Robbie continued with his set.  

Pharrell Williams invited Miley Cyrus on stage for an uplifting performance of Happy. 

Niall Horan then serenaded the 50,000 strong crowd with songs Slow Hands and This Town, before Ariana made her first appearance of the night.

The singer received hug cheers upon her arrival on stage, and had then entire stadium singing Break Free with her.

Ariana then welcomed Black Eyed Peas to the stage, where she joined them for a heart-felt rendition of Where is the Love?.

Up next, Little Mix, who gave a powerful performance of Wings, complete with killer harmonies. 

A little later in the night, a visibly emotional Katy Perry performed a stripped-back version of her hit Part of Me, before Roar got the whole crowd dancing. 

Justin Bieber ditched the bells and whistles, taking to the stage with just an acoustic guitar in hand for a toned-down performance of Love Yourself and Cold Water. 

Before serenading the crowds with Fix You, Viva la Vida and Something Just Like This, Coldplay decided it was time to give a something back to Ariana, and so led the crowd in an emotional version of Oasis' Don't Look Back in Anger. 

The biggest surprise of the night came when Liam Gallagher took to the stage at Old Trafford to rock the crowd with classic Oasis hits. The singer had previously said he who not be able to attend the concert, but in true Gallagher style he shocked with performances of Rock n Roll Star and Live Forever. 

The night came to an end when Ariana invited all the guest performers back to the stage for a group performance of One Last Time before finishing off with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

The concert raised over €2 million for the the victims of the Manchester terror attack.
