I've had several GPs check me and they each said I just need more sleep than "average". They've given me the standard spiel, about going to bed and waking up at the same time, keeping the bedroom dark and quiet, only en

I've had periods in my life when I exercised extensively (U.S. Marine Corps) and other times, including now, when I definitely don't get "enough" exercise. Regardless, I've needed 9-14 hours of sleep a day to feel

It really depends on the grogginess factor. There have been times in my life where I was able to get about 14 hours of sleep a day. It would still take me a couple of hours to mentally 'spin-up' but once my brain was in gear the

As I have read this thread, I keep coming back to how we measure competence and ability. For example, at one point in history our IQ tests included questions based on baseball rules. So someone taking the test that didn't know the rul

Worked fine for me on FF 39.0. Edit to add: with the caveat that it is going back through the maps, per meritt's comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9839060 ). I don't find the map history problematic.

I talk in my sleep and my father and some roommates have had full conversations with me, to include them asking me questions and me answering them. The upshot is that I apparently don't always give accurate answers. For example, one

Changing for change sake is bad, but questioning long-held assumptions can lead to highly desirable changes. I largely agree that what we have works, but I also like to see how it may change. One example that's been big in my life is

Ditto. Normally Ghostery will block at least one script site that is necessary to view pages like this. But this one worked fine, even though Ghostery blocked ChartBeat, DoubleClick, iPerceptions, NetRatings, and ScoreCard.
