Dedicating this blog to my sleepmaxxing journey!
Might share some sleep tips or facts. I’m not a sleep scientist or anything, but I’ve been sleeping on-and-off for around 20 years so I’d say I’m pretty experienced.

I hate that ‘bad dream’ just means ‘nightmare’ instead of ‘shitty quality dream.’ I had a bad dream last night. It wasn’t scary it just didn’t make a lot of narrative sense
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but "second sleep" as a widespread societal thing in the past is highly debated. I read the main 2004 paper on which that whole theory is based, and it seemed to me that the author (Robert Ekrich) just took examples from literature, letters, and diaries of people talking about waking up in the night and doing something before they fell asleep again, and tried to say that it was a codified Thing
Some of his sources did use the term "second sleep," but it wasn't like "this is a thing called second sleep that we all know and acknowledge and experience." It was like "I woke up at 2 a.m. and had trouble getting back to sleep, so I read a book, and my second sleep was deep and pleasant." People use that term, but the phenomenon was just… Waking up in the middle of the night occasionally. Not some grand secret of natural circadian rhythms that capitalism forced us to abandon
Generally speaking, I would recommend that people be wary of any bold claims regarding the secret way humans are wired to do things that our ancestors understood and we have forgotten. Or at the very least, read the actual paper
(it's so weird. He's like "this is what the first sleep was called! This is what the interval in between was called!" And then you read the paper and look up some of the primary sources in context, and it's just. people talking about waking up in the middle of the night and using terms to describe waking up in the middle of the night, but not really much to suggest that it was actually something everyone experienced as a Known Everyday Phenomenon)

Fun sleep fact #4
Pulling an all-nighter is really bad for you :(
Don’t do it…
Fun Sleep Fact #3
You remember more dreams when you sleep badly.
If you wake up multiple times throughout the night, you’ll be more likely to recall the contents of any dreams you had.
You’re also more likely to remember a dream when woken from one.
i want to sleep forever and ever not in a suicidal kind of way i just really like sleeping
Thinking about sleep deprivation again. Thinking about how sleep deprivation exacerbates and outright cause memory dysfunction.
Thinking about how certain neurotypes are statistically more likely to have non standard circadian rhythms. Thinking about how our society doesn't easily allow folks with atypical circadian rhythms to get enough sleep.
Wondering how much "memory loss" would be associated with certain neurotypes if everyone was allowed to get consistent sleep according to their own internal clocks.
Wondering how many of our "typical" symptoms are actually extreme symptoms, exacerbated by a wildly unaccommodating society.
Wondering what every neurotype would look like, if we lived in a world that met our needs.

one of the most enlightening realizations ive had was finding out that non-24 hour circadian rhythm people were a pretty large group and most of us have oddly similar cycles of usually around 28hr internal "days" and this masquerades as "insomnia" but if allowed to sleep and wake naturally we will just advance forward through time an extra 2-4 hours a day at a relatively stable pace. we can't go to school or jobs or even run errands on normal schedules without massive pharmacological and behavioral intervention. most of the people who have been diagnosed or figured it out themselves will report horrific, life-ruining disruption in their professional lives and terrible health from accrued lack of sleep. this disorder is most common in vision-impaired people which seems to suggest it's related to light cues. anyway just thinking about this as extremely loud yard work woke me up at 8am for the second day in a row
lot of people reblogging this identifying themselves in it so i wanted to give you a link to a more detailed desription of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, and mention theres a similar disorder called Delayed Sleep Phase disorder where you are on a regular 24 hour cycle but you naturally get sleepy around 3-4am every day and wake up around 10am-12pm (roughly). as far as i can tell, despite the widespread nature of both these disorders, its basically impossible to get diagnosed bvecause sleep medicine is probably the single most useless specialty and if you dont have sleep apnea they dont want to hear about it.
this got 14k because Tumblr is absolutely a self-selected population of people with the worst sleep disorders you can possibly imagine
#it's only a disorder because it is inconvenient for capitalism
Say it louder for the people in the back.
cute and sleepy cats, peacefully nodding off~🐈😴💤(x)
