- showmypost 6mo agoGood article! Not agreeing with the statement before the link Also, not sure if you’ve taken the time to read the post but it clearly states that I’m not using AI to analyze the data. The point of posting this was a different one I’m happy because I can clearly hear what wakes me up at night. I knew I wake up from noise and now I can clearly see it in the data that I wake up right after door slams, noisy motorbikes, car horning, and dishes from the kitchen (own and neighbors) After taking action I now sleep better and don’t have those random wake-up moments.
- jrmg 6mo agoI often wake up at 2-4 AM long enough to look at a clock - then fall back asleep. I’ve never even considered that it could be something in my environment waking me up!
- darkwater 6mo agoIntrigued by your comment and being someone that have a broken sleeping pattern due to both me being a nervous person and having went through raising 2 kids, I went to the linked article hoping to learn something new about my pattern. And it turns out it's just about talking the habit of "siesta" - so having a short sleep period during daytime - and NOT about wake up in the middle of the night naturally. So, I find totally inappropriate the snarky comment about OP and AI melting anything.
- jrmg 6mo agoIn the third paragraph: Prior to that, many people across different continents and cultures followed a biphasic sleep schedule. They went to bed in the evening and slept for a few hours, waking up around midnight. Then, they would stay up for a few hours to eat, tend to their children, or add wood to the fire, before finally falling back asleep for their second sleep phase. And it goes on to mention this pre-industrial biphasic ‘schedule’ many times throughout the article.
- darkwater 6mo agoWhich is absolutely not what many of us experience when awaken by sounds or something else in the middle of the night. Because you fall asleep again shortly after, not after few hours.
