Thank you. This and GP's comment are refreshing to hear. All I see on the news about lack of sleep is doom and gloom. According to them, I'm totally fucked in a myriad of ways and it's too late for me since I've held a sleep deficit for so long now.
Yeah, I understand lack of adequate sleep is bad for me, no shit. I'm doing the best I can and you're not helping. (addressing those sleep gloom and doom people)
- DrThunder 4y agoI just had a kid. I came to the conclusion that if sleep deprivation was a detrimental as some of these people say then our species would have become extinct long ago. Our bodies are able to cope just fine on lack of sleep and recover down the road. Is it ideal? No, but I've surprised myself with how functional I can actually be with lack of sleep. I just say, hey that sucks, and then move on with my day.
- pfannkuchen 4y agoDoesn’t this assume that sleep was similarly disrupted in the ancestral environment? Do we know that it was? Is it possible that it wasn’t?
