Retrograde

Yeah sadly weed is really bad for your sleep, akin to alcohol.

When I stop smoking for a few weeks, my dreams become dramatically more vivid and my sleep quality is much better.

If you have a REM cycle, which you should have at least one every night, you are definitely dreaming.

REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, and it's because you're looking around at things within your dreams. Unlike the rest of the body, the eyes are not typically affected by the natural process of sleep paralysis (the system your body uses to stay still so you're not constantly acting out your dreams in bed.)

Fascinatingly, the brain/sub-conscious naturally purges dream memories as soon as it deems them 'not-reality'. You can train your brain to rememember your dreams more if you write them down as soon as you wake up, this tells your sub-concious that those memories are actually worth remembering.

We know a ton about dreams, we just don't know why exactly sleep "recharges" the brain which I find fascinating.

This guy assumes people write off dreaming but when I was 17 I was utterly fascinated with the subject and researched lucid dreaming for many years, even teaching myself how to do it. That rabbit hole is absolutely wild.

If anyone is interested in the subject, check out the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge, or watch the film Waking Life.

People censor so much on the Internet and it baffles me. Like, thanks for saving my sensitive eyes from the word Nazi I guess?

I got you, it's 1.

10lb of Scottish salmon? I must've been drunk..

Been playing all day, had to force myself to bed. I like how the game reminds you, like "hey bud you've been on for 6 hours now, while we frown upon resting, we frown upon fatigue more"

What an amazing game. First playthrough and I'm getting Tom Cruise Oblivion vibes mixed with subnautica

I see your lame Black and Decker man sticking his barrel in a doorknob and raise you highly trained and OSHA compliant Makita squad watching from a distance

Have some peaky knots in your 2x4s? Then look no further than the heavy nailgun division:

Nice avatar, laughing man

Are Arizonas still a buck?

If having more features in a phone for the same price makes me somehow niche, then I'm happy (and actually proud) to say I'd rather be in the "0.01%"

Apple's marketing is apparently so effective in the US and Europe that they have successfully managed to convince the majority of people that commonplace features aren't relevant anymore, when that's really not the case, it's just so they can further their exclusivity and planned obsolescence crusade. 📈💰
