Sleep now is a lot more difficult than sleep 100 years ago.

Light matters. Blue light from computer screens has been tied to sleep issues. The theory is that it mimics certain bandwidths of sunlight that our eyes are primed to read as “daytime, get up and start moving.”

Hydration and food matters. You need to be in a good state but shouldn’t consume much right before bed.

Exercise matters. A lot of people have trouble sleeping if they move around a lot before bed. Since we have electric lights and can stay up very late doing stuff, it’s hard for your body to know it’s time to start winding down.

Best solution I’ve found: no caffeine after noon, consistent bed schedule (both going to sleep and waking up), black out curtains and/or sleep mask, earplugs/earbuds/brown noise track, and stop using screens an hour or two before bedtime.

You can’t. System admin needs to, and they posted that they can’t yet because the new version doesn’t support captcha yet. They’re expecting a fix but have to wait.

This. And you can move closer if you intend to keep this job and have a pretty good feeling that they won’t fire you. Especially if you’re currently renting, just look at closer rentals when your lease is coming up.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses this battle. Either way, Ukraine wins.

Wagner was the only Russian force I regularly saw succeeding in the headlines. Without them bolstering the Russian military and in fact detracting from and wasting the resources of the Russian military, the whole house of cards is going to start falling.

I wound up buying a medcline. It’s a wedge pillow with a cutout for your arm. Solved that problem for me. The new one is that the body pillow flattens around my head over the course of the night. Not a huge deal, so I’m relatively comfortable now.

I want to go back to a hammock. I never slept better than when I had one bolted in my room.

I read something about this and night terrors being more likely when you’re asleep on your back. At which point I switched to side sleeping.

No more falling issues, but now my shoulder is jacked up.
