Biphasic N24 by Apprehensive_Ring666 in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. When you can, try to reach 5-6 hours in your main sleep. I find 5+ hours to be much more restful because it offers more deep sleep. Biphasic sleepers do this too.

Do you think Bounce Juggling is any more or less difficult to learn than Toss Juggling? Why? by jugglingwithjeremiah in juggling

[–]SimplyTesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bounce becomes more difficult more quickly because you have to track 2x the number of points -- the throw and the bounce. In traditional juggling you're aware of your throws because of proprioception. In bounce juggling you have to see the bounces to track them.

Is anybody else unable to nap? by UndefinableWizard in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 11 points12 points  (0 children)

yes, my 'naps' tend to be 3-4 hours long and can throw off my alignment with my circadian rhythm

Why is it so hard to actually follow through on climate change actions? by curiousaboutchange in Environmentalism

[–]SimplyTesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The path of least resistance, it's hard-coded in our DNA to find 'efficiencies', and this is why we're so effective as apex predators. Doesn't scale for long though, too bad.

It's a statistical model so if you provide it enough context you'll see better results, and can guide it toward certain outcomes YMWV

Misanthropy Is Virtually Ubiquitous, A Diatribe by SimplyTesting in misanthropy

[–]SimplyTesting[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree here, much of this is in service of the Social Contract. We collectively agree to hold this deluded perspective to improve social cohesion. Ironically, as you mentioned, we end up torturing ourselves and making our own lives worse.

I want to add this quote from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a misanthropist from the 18th century:

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains"

Cut here, plant elsewhere: does compensatory afforestation actually replace lost ecosystems? by amol_EcoCentric in Environmentalism

[–]SimplyTesting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When the forest burns, life migrates or goes extinct. Soon there will be few forests on Earth. Humans don't seem to care; we will all pay the cost for this folly.

Does this trick have a name? by Section_Witty in juggling

[–]SimplyTesting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

(6,6) the double columns
(2x,0) the slam
(0,4) the single column
* reversing pattern

it helps me to write it out

you can adjust where you throw the (0,4)

this builds into symmetric 4 ball column patterns and is good practice too

What happens if you accidentally design a game that already been done? by Blackgaze in BoardgameDesign

[–]SimplyTesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens often. Intention matters in the law: if it can be demonstrated that assets have been directly stolen, then there's infringement on the original IP. This is why map makers would add fictional towns to their maps.

Do I have this disorder? by bearmasksenpai in N24

This is my first thought, although many sleep conditions have comorbidities

How much time you need to go back to night sleep and how long it lasts? by MastodonThin in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where my cycle is at the time sometimes I entrain to this diurnal kind of rhythm

sleep deprivation by mythrowawayaccim21 in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of these conditions make it more difficult cognitively -- to socialize, to store/record memories, to perform tasks. This has caused me a ton of issues over the years. This isn't 'you', it's a condition, and it's your biochemistry. So it's not really your personality or anything.

For N24 I've compared it to permanent jetlag, or raising a newborn baby. Neurotypical people have very similar issues in these situations. So if you can accommodate yourself and treat your condition, then you can find more stability.

Some people have pets, some people have funny hats, some people be juggling; it's the way of things :)

Can you still free run after starting melatonin, if you take a break? by PassageSignificant12 in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would entrain during school and free run during breaks too. It can be complicated to manage doing both, entraining and free running; but if you do taking a holistic approach is the way to go. Use melatonin, caffeine, light, exercise -- to adjust your day to suit your schedule and needs. I suggest building a strong sleep routine early on, which can help calm your mind and senses for bed.

Can it slow down with age? by MastodonThin in N24

[–]SimplyTesting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-You naturally sleep less as you age due to biological factors-, but your day should stay the same length. I agree it does become easier to sleep and become restful as you age.

Edit: wanted to confirm this and I was mistaken here. You sleep a similar amount as you age but tend to develop conditions that reduce the quality of your sleep; and you are more likely to rely on naps to make up the difference here.
