Built something I’m proud of.
Circadia started as a tool to track my own Non-24 sleep disorder. It’s now helping people track sleep drift, estimate τ (tau), forecast future sleep schedules, and contribute to circadian rhythm research.

Looking for suggestions: 80% of the time when I wake up, my body feels freaked out for no discernible reason and I spend at least an hour just sort of doing nothing useful

Things I've tried:
- Gabanergic sleep meds make this better but I don't want to take them every night
- ADHD meds are hit or miss, if I take them sometimes I'll end up locked in on the wrong thing if I don't start working soon enough

Why must it be so hard to find a place to stay at in Japan that has:
- a sauna
- a gym
- access to snow
- access to food
for under 90,000 yen

got started up on this subject and I'm really curious how (if) people that have CIP (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain) experience emotional pain
when starting working with someone new, I usually ask them to compare a particular situation that carries some emotional charge with the most painful sensation they've ever experience.
it's useful to put things into perspective.
this can be challenging, though, because most people don't have a clear reference point for pain so they easily end up treating something like sending an email or having a conversation with their coworkers as if it were the same as a burning or an intense nerve pain.
but this is the moment where it becomes obvious that the 'pain' is amplified by the narratives built around.

Dayvigo has been amazing for me, most effective sleep med I’ve ever taken with not much tolerance or addiction potential afaik
If you have sleep issues and haven't tried a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), it's worth running the experiment.
They're easy to get and weirdly underhyped despite most of my friends who try them giving rave reviews.
