Chronic illnesses and other incurable medical conditions, caring for children or other people who might need care in the middle of the night, and noise or other disruptions in your living space, are all factors that can influence sleep quality. What this means is that a person might block out 10 hours or 12 hours in which to sleep, but they still only end up sleeping for 8 of those hours. So they might really need those 10-12 hours in order to be fully rested.

I have experienced this personally for many different reasons. The two worst have been when I had long COVID and it severely disrupted my breathing, so I would often awake many times in the night. I needed many more hours of time blocked out to get the same amount of sleep. Similarly for when a neighbor had young kids who would make loud banging and thumping sounds in the middle of the night, waking me up repeatedly, or other times when people woke me up by playing loud music.

Listen, I’m posting this as a frame of reference. So, I can come back years later and say

‘I can’t believe I actually thought that’ or 'I still believe it even though it hasn’t been confirmed’

While I am on the side of 'violence is not the answer,’ (and on the side of Will Smith. In a sense of his feelings are valid not on a Chris Rock deserved to be hit…he didn’t) I can’t shake the feeling that this was staged.

That slap was so out of character for Will Smith. I mean I don’t really watch him on awards shows (or interviews come to think of it) really.

Ok get ready for some conspiracy theory here (but I truly believe it)

Will Smith is trying to strip away his nice-guy reputation (being a self-proclaimed people pleaser). He’s thinking to himself it’s going to take me just as long if not more to make that happen. I need to do something drastic. So, he’s on the phone with Chris and Chris is like

'We can help each other because I got a show coming up, win-win because all press is good press,’

And that’s why I put the disclaimer in the beginning.

Also, tomorrow is April fool’s day, coincidence…I think not…yes, it’s most definitely a coincidence

It’s been a while let’s update the new shows I watched in 2019. 

Bluff city…???: I didn’t even finish the first episode. For me familiar faces and good actors are not enough to keep me watching. Maybe I’ll go back and watch it at a later date. Let’s be honest, I’ve already forgotten what it’s called. (Canceled)

Evil: Such a roller coater ride with this show. I loved it in the beginning because of the subject mater. It’s a do you believe in miracles’ ponder. And then I lost interest.

Mixed-ish: I’ve seen one episode. I had to do a Google search to find out if it’s been canceled or not. Like I said before I went off the- ish franchise slowly. (Canceled) 

Prodigal son: It’s a shame, I liked it. I mean I get it, but still. (Canceled)

Stumptown: Loved it sad to see it go. (Canceled)

The Politician: Still haven’t gotten round to watching season 2. It’s on my to watch list. 

Carol’s second act: The show was funny I thought. It might also have half to do with the loveable familiar faces. (Canceled)

Sunnyside: So this show was good in parts. I liked the premise of it. I’m not really surprised to be honest it only got 1 season. (Canceled)
