BBVA, the multinational Spanish banking group, is upping its commitment to employee wellbeing with a new sleep-tracking initiative. The bank recently launched Atrando tu sueo (Catching your dream), a program using wearable technology to analyze the sleep patterns of 100 workers over the course of a week. A wrist-worn device records various metrics, including temperature, activity, body position and light exposure, providing scientifically validated data on circadian rhythms and sleep quality. Once the week is up, the employee receives a personalized report and recommendations from sleep experts.This latest offering builds on BBVA's earlier efforts to address employee sleep issues. Those who took part in the bank's 'Time4Sleep' program which has been repeated 20 times in response to high demand reported significant improvements in sleep quality, with the percentage of participants experiencing sleep issues dropping from 48% to 25%. BBVA's emphasis on sleep reflects a broader cultural recognition of the importance of decent shuteye. As businesses grapple with burnout and productivity challenges, the path to a more resilient and creative workforce might just start with a good night's sleep.

The days of the @[insert username] blocked you page appear to be over. X owner Elon Musk announced a new change to the platforms blocking feature allowing blocked users to see posts of the accounts that blocked them. Blocked accounts still wont be able to interact with those accounts but theyll be able to see their posts. A source from X told The Verge the new blocked access feature is being implemented because users can already see and interact with accounts that have blocked them by switching to a non-blocked account. Musk has wanted to disable the block feature on X for awhile now. More than a year ago, he first expressed his disdain for blocking on X (or technically, Twitter) except for direct messages. He wrote that blocking would become deleted as a feature as well as saying It makes no sense. Last May, Xs Engineering account announced it would implement the blocked viewer change to the platform without including a solid implementation or rollout date. The post said the change would be implemented to give users with blocked accounts the ability to identify and report any potential bad content that you previously could not view.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/social-media/x-is-nerfing-the-block-button-blocked-users-will-be-able-to-see-your-posts-214928396.html?src=rss

Amazon is hoping to get more people hooked on Music Unlimited with a pre-Prime Day offer. Those who haven't tried the service before can get three months of access for free. The offer is even better for Prime members who haven't checked out the music-streaming platform. They can use it for four months at no extra cost. Music Unlimited typically costs $11 per month without Prime and $10 per month for Prime members. The company isn't leaving existing subscribers entirely out in the cold. Those with an individual Amazon Music Unlimited plan can upgrade to the Family Plan at no extra cost for two months. Amazon Music Unlimited includes more than 100 million songs, many of which are available in high definition and/or spatial audio. The service also includes ad-free versions of many popular podcasts. While it may not be the first music streaming service that springs to mind for most folks, Amazon Music Unlimited may be worth checking out. The HD music selection is particularly notable, since Spotify has yet to offer that feature.
