☀️🌙 Oh, the audacity! Did you know your sacred, uninterrupted 8-hour slumber is a modern-day con-job? 😂 Apparently, ancient societies snoozed in polyphasic harmony with the Sun, unlike today's caffeine-addicted, 9-to-5 zombies. Wake up, sheeple! ⏰😴

Do you use a fan to sleep? Here’s what to know. – The Washington Post
Do you use a fan to sleep? Here’s what to know.
The cool breeze and steady hum from a bedroom fan may help some people sleep better, according to science.

The science
Fans may help you sleep better for a couple of reasons: They can provide a cooling breeze and soothing white noise, sleep experts said. It is not, however, a one-size-fits-all approach as its success can depend on various factors, including how hot it is, the type of fan and whether a person has certain health conditions.
While fans cannot lower the temperature in a room, they can create a breeze that can help cool you.
As the Energy Department points out, fans “cool people, not rooms” through the wind chill effect, in which wind displaces warmer air and helps evaporate sweat from the skin, making people feel cooler. This may be especially helpful for people who run hot at night, including those who are going through menopause or taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Editor’s Note: I do use a fan to sleep 🙂 …

After nearly 10 hours of sleep & dozing I expected to be feeling like I had some energy to do something but apparently that's not how today is going.
Made the mistake of trying to fix pCloud on my Linux. After about an hour of random bouts of thinking, uninstalling, downloading, searching menus, more uninstalling & downloading, etc. I think I've fixed it. Won't know until tomorrow when I start my computer again (I switch it of when I switch off for the day).
So, no productive morning. Will try & get myself to bed early again as I'm clearly in need of some extra sleep.
It's already time to think about prepping lunch so should probably do that so I can have an afternoon available for doing things.

Two nights ago I got about 5.75 hours of sleep. I felt fine all day long until I finally got home from work. That was about 6:30pm. As soon as I walked in the door it hit me and I just felt completely exhausted.
Last night I got about 6.5 hours of sleep. I have felt completely exhausted all day.
Do you ever wish that things like sleep could actually start making sense? Wouldn’t that be nice?
I haven’t used my CPAP machine since before we went to Florida. I packed it and took it with us, but I never set it up. I had a bad cold when I got home and didn’t want to be inhaling phlegm all night so I didn’t set it up at home either. Maybe I’ll finally get back to it tonight. I’m pretty sure I don’t need it anymore, but maybe there’s some kind of placebo affect I could take advantage of? Probably not, but who knows.
All I know for sure is that I could use a nap right now.

Sleep irregularity and dementia risk
Researchers have uncovered a surprising link between #sleepregularity and the risk of developing #dementia. Their findings, published in Neurology, suggest that both very irregular and, to a lesser extent, overly consistent #sleeppatterns are associated with an increased risk of dementia.

My weird #SleepPatterns continue.
Today I rolled with it: when I couldn't fall back asleep at 5am, I got up and wrote most of two scenes. When I crashed later this morning, I took a 2 hour nap. Afterwards I finished the 2nd scene and tackled the growing errand backlog.
My most productive day in a while. I feel pretty good too.

Do mobile apps have a role to play in promoting a good night's sleep? While some take the 'screen-free bedroom' approach, many are turning to mobile apps that use #tech and #AI to support healthy sleeping habits.
"The burgeoning sleep technology market includes devices to track our slumber patterns, apps providing restful mediation, as well as services to manage medical disorders like sleep apnea or narcolepsy."

Not so good if my collaborators from the United States of America tell me they need to go to sleep and I work from Europe
