Hey, I finally released a project!
#ambient #music #sleep
I created a YouTube channel where I will be uploading musical soundscapes that I make to slow down and fall asleep, as a form of self-care. I wish that these soundscapes can help other people in a similar way. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to share, like & subscribe if you wish to support my journey

ENG: Observational study on medical #cannabis use for 300 people over 50 proves medical #weed effectiveness. Patients favor high CBD low THC oral dosing ( balanced 1:1), to reduce arthritic/chronic pain and help sleep without having to chain smoke/vape. If CBD dominantes there is almost no psychotropic effect.

ESP: Ciencia moderna confirma que #marijuana medicinal alivia dolor crónico, artrítis y sueño. Estudio con 300 personas de más de 50 años revela que pacientes prefieren gotas o comestibles altos en CBD y bajos en THC. Extracto 1:1 de flor resulta aún más efectivo y evita tener que fumar/vapear para sostener efectos analgésicos/ansiolíticos. De dominar el CBD el efecto psicotropico es nulo o mínimo.

Figured out I feel as bad on 5, and 6 hours sleep as I do on 7, 8, 9, or 10, so I'ma try 11 and 12 hours sleep and see what effect that has.

My sleep is broken
My Mental Health is broken
My body is broken in so many little ways...

It's a Gordian tangle and I'm a bit sick of not knowing what's affecting what.

(NB: Again, this is not a Pity Me post. Kindness and Support are always welcome but not being specifically requested at this time. Other people need that from you much more than I do; just have a scroll. Despite it all I am, in my star-like core, robust enough internally to bear these burdens...for now)

SO.

Let's try and fix this as much as I can, starting with sleep, perchance? Sleep feels pretty foundational, doesn't it? Aye, there's the rub. Bad sleep means life is harder across the board. Without being funny I'm really tired of not sleeping.

Enter: Sleepio.com, prescribed by my GP (US'ians = HMO). I've just signed up and gone through the onboarding process, answered a lot of questions about sleep quality, quantity, goals, etc, and completed Session 1.

According to Sleepio, 90% Sleep Efficiency (tm) is where we feel Rested after sleeping. My sleep efficiency score is 49%. Even I had to laugh at that. ​​

I'm also now committed to recording my sleep every day this week. I bought an ultra-cheap (cautious, toe-dipping) little smartwatch fitness-tracker thing earlier this month that is perfect for this, as long as I can stand wearing the thing: I haven't worn a watch since the 80s. But you know what shut up Uraael this is Medical so you can bally well live with a little irritation if it helps you in the long run, a'richt?

It's a six week course. We'll see how we go.

"It might sound odd to say that kids in high school have to learn the skills to sleep,” says Mansfield health teacher Tony Davis, who has incorporated a newly released sleep curriculum into a state-required high school health class. “But you’d be shocked how many just don’t know how to sleep.”

Last night I underwent a home sleep study for possible sleep apnea. I strapped myself up with lots of gear: around my chest, in my nose, over my ears, dangling in front of my mouth, oxygen meter on my finger, and more. Oh, and medical tape on my face to keep things stable.

You must master your circadian rhythm;

Or the cicadas will master you.

Over 75% of people report feeling #stress that negatively affects their #physicalhealth. When the body is under that kind of #strain, #corticosteroids flood the system and lower #lymphocyte levels. When stress is #chronic, it affects all aspects of life, including #sleep and #diet. Managing stress through mindful #meditation and practices like #yoga protects the #immunesystem by stemming the levels of #cortisol and reducing the risk of #inflammation.

Eating dinner at 3 PM, anticipating taking my sleeping aid and other PM pills by 7:30 at the latest, waking up before the sun rises many days. It is safe to say that living in this building dedicated to the elderly and disabled has rubbed off on me, formerly a massive nightowl who often slept until late morning or noon, in weird ways.

My wife and I went through multiple mattresses trying to find one as good as our old favorite. What we found was totally not what we expected, offering a lesson about #sleep having little to do with mattress technology.

Inspired by an episode of #atpfm last year, would love feedback on my latest app, SleepTag. It imports your sleep data and lets you tag it with activities/information to help you better understand what affects your sleep. 100% #swiftui and a lot of Swift Charts!
