You’re Blind 10% of the Day

Your eyes are doing push-ups right now and you don't even notice. Every single minute,

you blink between 14 to 17 times. That's roughly 15,000 to 20,000 blinks every single day.

But here's what's wild, each blink only lasts about a tenth of a second,

meaning you spend around 10 percent of your waking hours with your eyes completely shut.

Your brain is so good at ignoring these mini blackouts that you never realize you're essentially

blind for almost an hour every day. Next time you're in a conversation, try counting your

blinks. You'll mess up the count almost immediately because your brain refuses to acknowledge

them.
