I can't be creative without sleep. My dreams rarely make sense, and I sleep less as I get older as the author mentioned, but the little rest I do get is impactful on nearly every aspect of my life in work, exercise, mood, etc.

An article was trending on here recently about how our brains reset with sleep[1].

I don't like this kind of article. It tends to be very verbose but doesn't really have a point.

    It's a meditation on the meaning and practise of "rest". I can imagine that wouldn't appeal to everyone. Perhaps it helps to see it a collection of small points.

I cannot read this on my phone. The text jumps up and down as I scroll.

    I only had 1 slight jump on Android/Firefox.

    When I scroll past the title it jumps to the main paragraph. This seems to be the only jumps for me.

    If you continuously scroll up/down around that point it is really annoying.

    Page positioning is an important feature but more often used for flash rather than function.

    It seemed to stop once I scrolled down far enough into the article. But it was jarring and unnecessary.

Can anybody suggest a simple cli tool (besides curl ofc) for calling REST endpoints, since this article didn't provide that ;)

>As an adolescent, I remember sleeping eight-, nine-, 10-hour periods. Now if I can do two or three hours at a stretch, I feel vaguely triumphant.

Wow. So little sleep is very bad for health (mental and physical).

    I think he does more than one of these stretches at a time.

    Well, he's 88.

    I think he's saying most people his age need to pee several times a night. Reminds me of being a new-ish parent. Not something I want to revisit in a hurry!

    As long as you can get right back to sleep after you're woken by pee or whatever, it's not unhealthy.
