My husband wakes up routinely at about 4:30 on weekdays - he’s an early bird, like his father was.

He has coffee, works out with weights, eats breakfast, takes a shower, and finally goes to work.

I couldn’t do it - I’ve always been a night owl; but it makes him happy and healthy.

One study showed ANY light will disturb your sleep, so of course government requires smoke detectors WITH A LIGHT that you can’t turn off in every bedroom in America.

Not true.
There are no smoke detectors in any of my bedrooms.

Could you put a piece of tape on it?

Mine either. There’s one in the adjacent hall, and I know from my husband’s cooking (!) that it definitely works; but it has no ‘light’.

BIPOC are more likely to experience shorter sleep duration, less deep sleep, inconsistent sleep timing, and lower sleep continuity.

According to a 2022 JAMA Network study on racial and ethnic disparities in sleep duration, having a healthy relationship with sleep is more difficult for people who face systematic racism.

Oh, FFS.

Those who prepared that study were obviously never OTR truck drivers.

I like sunny days; not crazy about cloudy, rainy ones. But to me, darkness helps with thinking, concentration - sometimes even energy. When the Sun is shining, everything seems so ‘busy’, and distracting - and frankly, it takes me a while to get going in the morning :-).

I do very different things when it’s light and when it’s dark. I guess there’s something electromagnetic going on.

Or maybe they shouldn’t be hanging with the homies at “da club” until dawn.

Stop watching TV. Not only will your sleep and everyday activities be improved, but it will be very easy to wake up and be active at any time of the day. Try it and see. #KillYourTV

Also, if you learn how to sleep-walk, you can wander around the house all night, doing all your chores, and still not lose a minute of sleep.
