  1. This week, while trying to catch up on schoolwork, I've been discovering all the things that put my body into nap mode, and wow, it’s a lot. Pillows, recliner angles, even kicking my feet up can flip the switch from "study" to "sleep."
    It's been like running my own ergonomic lab this week, testing what keeps me awake vs. what puts me to sleep.
    Turns out I focus way better with my feet supported, but that's tricky when you’re short and most setups aren't built for you. Fully kicking my feet up feels nice… until I wake up two hours later wondering what happened.
    I can't tell you how many hours I've lost to nap mode when I was trying to study, but maybe now that won't happen anymore.

  3. i’ve been thinking of a fun way to get more exercise outside, and settled on taking up roller skating.

    after consulting with my roller skating friend and TONS of online research (including finding out that lots of local skate shops have closed/are about to close!) i finally felt confident enough to buy some skates, but no one seems to stock skates for smaller feet. i’m glad i took a shot and emailed the manufacturer directly, i would have just kept waiting!
