Productivity tips
- sejtnjir 7y ago> Research has shown that napping can mitigate the risk for sleep deprivation Sleeping helps against not sleeping enough. Who'd have thunk it.
- tomcooks 7y agoMore like "brief periods of sleep are better for your body and sanity than powering through, which is a common misconception"
- Kaze404 7y agoThis post makes a significant amount of unsubstantiated claims. While I'll concede that some things are common knowledge, things like drinking a cup of coffee before sleep (with Daniel Pink cited as a source, who is a motivational writer not a scientist) and not making important decisions in the afternoon really need credible sources to be even remotely believable. Any time I see "studies cite" I immediately associate the article with those tabloid pieces about milk being the worst thing you could possibly ingest, only to say the exact opposite in a week or two.

- AllegedAlec 7y ago> Hydrating the body first thing in the morning (..) improves immunity by flushing out toxins Absolute bullshit.
- rorykoehler 7y agoStill probably a good thing to do. This belief probably came from Japanese Water Therapy.
- AllegedAlec 7y agoIt doesn't make that claim any less bullshit though. I mean, I could tell people to stop smoking, because it makes you phlegmatic. The end result could still be a good thing, but the claim itself is absolute horsecrap.
- rorykoehler 7y agoI didn't disagree
- forgotmypw77 7y agoCould you please substantiate your loud comment?
- JensRex 7y agoIf your body isn't already "flushing out toxins", you are suffering from liver or kidney problems, and you should see a doctor immediately.
- loopz 7y agoIt's established the body needs water. The contention is only about how much and when to drink it. It's not far fetched there's some timing that are more optimal than others. Too much is bad, and too little is also bad. There's also exhaggerated sales-claims from believers ofc.
- chapium 7y agohttps://www.rush.edu/health-wellness/discover-health/truth-about-toxins https://www.rush.edu/health-wellness/discover-health/truth-a... Here you go. I should add that the article makes bogus claims many citing no sources or evidence.

- kthejoker2 7y agoThis post is confirmation of a rule I use with most "tip" articles ... If you can add "Only an idiot wouldn't ..." in front of a tip, it's not really a tip.
