I didnt sleep enough for all my teens and student years, and ended up with an autoimmune disease. Taking sleep and other health seriously has been a big part of getting myself back in working shape.
- hinkley 6y agoThe Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said: “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
- hinkley 6y agoThat quote and watching him interact with Desmond Tutu like they are school-aged BFFs are my favorite things about the Dalai Lama.
- john-radio 6y agoGood news! You can pare it down to a single favorite thing about him; that quote is bullshit. https://ntweblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/that-dalai-lama-quotation-and.html https://ntweblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/that-dalai-lama-quotat...

- opportune 6y agoWait seriously? If you don’t mind can you share what the disease/effects are and why you think it’s caused by lack of sleep when younger?
- kzrdude 6y agoSure. Multiple Sclerosis. It seems I'm not hard hit in terms of physical symptoms of this, but I had depression, fogginess of the mind and difficulties concentrating. It is not easy to say what begets what effect, but it's true that sleeping well and working/commuting less has been the only way to take back control of my life.
