byoffer 15371 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-19-12, 11:02 AM (EST) "PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" Since y'all are my crazy internet friends , I feel I should share this with you. If you are anything like me, the couple of hours spent before going to bed include watching some TV and playing on the computer (RTVW, FB, etc). Turns out this is bad for our sleeping and bad for our health. Here is a very easy to read graphical presentation of the issue. This is exactly how I feel many, many nights and mornings. I suspect this will be like kicking a drug addiction (though I have no experience with that) but something I need to try to do for my health. And now you know so you can take care of yourselves too!

The slide indicating 50% increase in heart attack risk from lack of sleep hit home with me.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" You could be like DS and have a 226-minute call which started at 11:31 PM on a school night. There's some serious sleep disruption, and that doesn't include his occasional late night text-a-thon. The good news for his sleep pattern is that he just broke up with his needy, manipulative girlfriend. Downloading his call records was very... informative.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" 226 minute call at any time of the day is wrong. I can't imagine what a young couple could gab about until 3am. Glad to hear he is rid of that sort of relationship.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

weltek 16921 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-20-12, 03:25 PM (EST) 21. "RE: PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" #1: From what I hear of dating conversations via cellphones these days, there are a lot of times where it's just silent and they are preoccupied with other things. They think it's romantic just to be on the other end of the phone together, not necessarily talking. So, some of those minutes were probably really expensive silence. #2: Which leads me to that other thing people do on the phone instead of talk. I can't remember how old your son is, but these things shouldn't surprise us, really. Hormones, hormones, hormones. -Handcrafted by RollDdice   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" 30% of people fall asleep at work? I sleep with my non-smart phone, but then it is also the only alarm clock that I have. Also if I read my Kindle Fire instead of playing on the computer is it really that much different?

"RE: PSA - time to get off-line before going to bed" I think reading, even on a Kindle, is very different. I was reading somewhere recently about how all these games we play give us a chemical fix. That is why they become addictive. I would guess this "game buzz" also hurts our sleep habits. I don't think reading would do the same.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
