The hybrid assistance limb, otherwise known as HAL, was developed with the goal of helping the injured and the weak get around. Made by Japanese robotics company Cyberdyne, the exoskeleton is a 10 kilogram (22 pound) machine that belts at the waist and has a battery and computer system at the back. HAL’s bio-electrical sensors, which are attached to the body, are able to capture electromyogram signals on the person’s skin control the way someone walks. As a result, a HAL suited individual will be able to walk up to speeds of 1.8 kilometres an hour. Interested? Well, you can rent your own suit from Cyberdyne for  220,000 yen...

Poor sleep robs people of their health in general. But, for diabetics it can cause a worsening of their condition. A hypnotist can assist a person with diabetes by helping them to positively alter their behavior. A study explained how people who do not get enough sleep on a regular basis tend to become less sensitive to insulin over time. The study found that healthy adults who averaged 5.2 hours of sleep a night secreted 50% more insulin than their more rested counterparts, who averaged 8 hours of sleep a night. As a result, "short sleepers" were 40% less sensitive to insulin. Devin Hastings is a certified hypnotist...
