CARROTS ARE FUCKING AWFUL EVIL ABOMINATIONS
I used to do that back when I was playing alot of video games. I always felt like crap.Jokes on her. I’m not a person. I’m a beaver.
You’ve never heard of polyphasic sleep cycles then.
Young lady, carrots provide the essential vitamins and minerals you need to cure your boneitis. Also if you get at least 10 mins of sunlight your body will naturally produce vitamin d which also helps build strong bones.CARROTS ARE FUCKING AWFUL EVIL ABOMINATIONS
You and Xev are both right. The quality of sleep is determined by how much REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep you get. This is a phase of sleep where you produce dream sequences. It doesn't matter if you sleep for 8 hours or 2 if you don't enter REM you will wake up feeling tired.You’ve never heard of polyphasic sleep cycles then.
I hate to be a "well ackshually" type guy, but there's quite a lot of historical record of it being very common for pre-industrial folk to sleep in two chunks, often getting up in between to have a stroll, talk to neighbours, ponder, read, write, shag etc. This stopped really being a thing in post-industrial society - the post-industrial workday/electrical lighting is likely what put an end to biphasic sleep.The worst thing you can do is go to sleep for a few hours, wake up and play on your phone for a few hours, then go back to sleep. Humans do better when we get 8 consecutive hours.
Henry Ford is responsible for the 9-5 m-f lifestyle if I'm remembering correctly.I hate to be a "well ackshually" type guy, but there's quite a lot of historical record of it being very common for pre-industrial folk to sleep in two chunks, often getting up in between to have a stroll, talk to neighbours, ponder, read, write, shag etc. This stopped really being a thing in post-industrial society - the post-industrial workday/electrical lighting is likely what put an end to biphasic sleep.
Definitely not good for you to wake up and shitpost/doomscroll for a few hours though given how much evidence there is for screen-time fucking up your sleep.
What's the best energy drink in your opinion?i havent had an energy drink in a whileee
I've actually wondered about this for awhile now. It makes intuitive sense that the two would be connected, but I wasn't aware that there had actually been any research on the topic.One of the more common issues BPD havers express is trouble sleeping. Specifically insomnia, altered sleep architecture, and nightmares. I don't have the numbers on me right now, but it's a significant percentage
normally my meds knock me out
I've seen Abilify used mostly for treatment-resistant depression before, so the dose might actually just be too low to consistently induce drowsiness, especially after it's been taken for awhile (in which case, she might actually be taking her meds on time; experience makes me doubtful, though). Seroquel's more reliable for insomnia, but most doctors won't mix the two since they have basically the same mechanism of action, and I don't think Seroquel's approved as an adjunct therapy.She's on Abilify for her BPD and on Strattera for her ADHD.
A good chunk. A lot of it is readily available via pubmed. I'm not gonna link a bunch of off-site shit though so it's on you to take a peek. It's a thoroughly investigated phenomina likely because the loss of adequate sleep exacerbates the bpd symptoms, which in turn lead to less sleep. So it's a nasty spiralI wasn't aware that there had actually been any research on the topic.
Her current dose is 20mg and she started taking it on the 17th of February. Back then it was 10mg, which got increased to the current dosage at around early marchI've seen Abilify used mostly for treatment-resistant depression before, so the dose might actually just be too low to consistently induce drowsiness, especially after it's been taken for awhile (in which case, she might actually be taking her meds on time; experience makes me doubtful, though).

She's on Abilify for her schizo-spectrum disorder as well, she blamed homeless people on having to go on meds.Correct. She's on Abilify for her BPD and on Strattera for her ADHD.
I'm pretty sure it went from 5mg to 10mg, judging by the pill bottle in the video. 5 and 2 are starting doses for Abilify, not 10mg.Her current dose is 20mg and she started taking it on the 17th of February. Back then it was 10mg, which got increased to the current dosage at around early march
20 is already higher than the recommend starting dose/target dose for it. They prefer to stay 10-15. The highest I've heard of is 30mg. To my knowledge, higher than 30mg hasn't been evaluated for safety in clinical trials.Her current dose is 20mg and she started taking it on the 17th of February.

That's true, I misremembered it.She's on Abilify for her schizo-spectrum disorder as well, she blamed homeless people on having to go on meds.

My experience with Abilify is limited to someone I know taking it, but I thought 30 mg sounded really extreme. Definitely high enough to cause drowsiness, but probably not in a therapeutic way.That's true, I misremembered it
Get that shit sorted out @mitsuba :3 . I was too lazy to bother with it when I was being medicated, and trust me coming off of it is not a fun experience.
Seconded. I've got no idea what Rattman is, and it was Seroquel rather than Abilify, so the dosage was quite a bit higher (although I'm not sure if that's relevant; it really depends on whether Abilify is stronger), but it feels like you're fucking dying....and trust me coming off of it is not a fun experience.
