It’s never too late to become a social media pro.

Social media is such a big part of our world these days. It is no longer just a occasional distraction for young people as it has grown into a essential tool for businesses and professional alike. Though it took some warming up, boomers have embraced social media in a big way. However, there are still some who don’t quite know how to use it to its full potential. If you feel your online skills could use a little sharpening, have a look at some our tips on how to become a social media pro.

Get on multiple platforms.

It’s always better to diversify than to put all your eggs in one basket. You may think that your Facebook account is all you need for a social media presence. But why not also explore what else is out there? All the platforms offer completely different experiences. Twitter offers fast-paced news. LinkedIn is where you can expand your professional network. Instagram allows you to share photos with friends. The more you’re willing to explore the world of social media, the more comfortable you’ll be as a user.

Use it.

Just being on the platforms isn’t enough to become a social media expert. Like anything, practice makes perfect. Don’t just use Twitter to see what others are talking about — join the conversation. Try to make it a daily habit to go on each of your platforms and post something. You don’t need to dedicate too much time to it, just a few minutes. You’re not going to get much out of the experience by just being an observer.

Offer something in your posts.

Once you get used to using the different platforms, you can start trying to build an audience. It’s easy to say you’re fine having just a few friends as your connections. But you don’t want to limit how you us these tools. Especially if you’re looking to use your social media for professional purposes, growing your audience and your reach are essential. To achieve this, give audiences a reason to seek you out. It could be sharing your own work, offering a unique opinions, or even a little humour. Draw people in and give them something worth coming back for.

Interact with others.

A big part of social media is being social, so don’t be afraid to connect with people. Don’t just click the “like” button, start conversations. Comment on content you find interesting, reply to people that comment on your content and ask your audience for opinions. Interacting with others will encourage them to interact with you. Regardless of your reasons for becoming more engaged with social media, connecting with others is what can really make the experience worthwhile.

Do females need more sleep than males?

The study found that women need about 20 minutes more sleep a night than men and that inadequate sleep in women (poor sleep and sleep-related problems) was associated with higher risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Women do need more sleep at night compared to men, a recent study concludes. Researchers from Loughborough University’s Sleep Research Centre studied 210 healthy men and women to better understand sleeping patterns and the links between sleep deprivation and chronic diseases. The study found that women need about 20 minutes more sleep a night than men and that inadequate sleep in women (poor sleep and sleep-related problems) was associated with higher risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Hormones are said to play a role in this gender difference, particularly testosterone and oestrogen. Jean Hailes endocrinologist Dr Sonia Davison says women have a lot less testosterone than men and this level decreases from a peak at around the age of 18 years to a low level around age 65 years. Low levels of testosterone have been linked to lower energy levels, fatigue and reduced general wellbeing. "Oestrogen levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle in reproductive-aged women, and will start to fall from the mid to late 40s, with a drastic reduction around menopause," says Dr Davison. "Whenever oestrogen levels are low, for example before and during a period, if breastfeeding, or around menopause, symptoms such as poor sleep and lowered energy levels are commonly reported by women. Whether this ties in with the need for extra sleep in women described in this study needs further exploration."

To improve the quality of your sleep, Dr Davison recommends the following:

Schedule 30 minutes of 'wind down time' before going to bed, such as reading or listening to music

Avoid using computers and phones late at night

Dim the lights before getting ready for sleep

Try to keep a regular bed time
