Whether you're looking after a parent, spouse, child, or loved one, juggling all of the daily responsibilities that come with it can quickly feel overwhelming. With so much focus on taking care of others, it’s easy to put yourself and your needs on the back burner. While your focus is understandably on your loved one, it’s important to remember that your own well-being matters too.

But a new study offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could exhibit habituation akin to that seen in more complex organisms with brains.
