Thank you for the concern it's my friends sleeping that long not me, but they each doing things about it with their doctors.

[–] Seigest@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I have been doing that. I also had B12 issues but they assumed it was because I am vegan. It was my hemoglobin levels that concerned the doctor enough to do the study.

This is the most academic answer I have seen so far. Any source on those stats? My doctors may listen if I can give them something.

Oh that's actually a huge help. I already use a mouthguard for grinding. Last time I got the CPAP the doctors kept insisting I ask my dentist for something to keep my mouth closed. But they would never tell me what it was, and my dentist had no idea. Perhaps it was this?

I wish the working world would let us all live to our sleep styles. Some days I am at work from home office staring at my bed.

Funny enough, when I first got diagnosed, I was also seeing a dietitian. They suspected my sleep issues might be caused by a food allergy that was making my intestines swell. According to a blood test, the culprit was beef. So I cut it out completely.

Years later, I found out the test results were wrong and I’m not actually allergic to beef. But since removing it from my diet had improved my sleep so much, I just decided to keep avoiding it. Then, after a cholesterol issue, I took it a step further and went fully vegan about a year ago. Since then, falling asleep has become even easier.

That said, while I don’t struggle as much with falling asleep anymore, my sleep quality is still apparently pretty poor.

Thank you for sharing.

Physical activity like sports would definitely help I think. Me and my friends are all the same in our struggles to do the bare minimum of exercise. We're all in the loop of being too tired to do anything because we are too tired to do anything. I'm hoping the CPAP can help break that cycle. Though I have started seeing someone who is into long walks. So I am improving there, slowly.

I had to give up coffee awhile back since the addiction was a little too much for me. I still enjoy a cup on special occasions when I won't need to sleep well that night. I've noticed it's effects are stronger the older I get.

Thank you I'll be sure to look into that when the study inevitably puts me one.

I wish you the best with getting your diagnosis. I absolutely dreaded the sleep studies. They were always scheduled on work nights, and I’d get almost no sleep. Then they'd kick me out at 6 a.m., and I’d end up stumbling back to my office since it was closer than going home.

Thankfully, my next one is on a weekend, so at least I can go straight home afterward.

When I get those strong, sudden urges to sleep and can’t actually fall asleep, I feel awful. Even worse, I can get irritable with the people around me. So, at least in my experience, the sleep issues came first. And the more I’ve done to address them, the better I’ve felt overall.

Good to know. My friends mention the same things though I don't have that problem as often these days but I wonder if this is the common thing that nerodivergent people face and the cause of sleep issues.

Fyi routine and meditation helped with me, the Finch app is great for keeping me on track.

I'm hoping that will be the case this time. The one I had was the best one available given my insurance policy at the time. I'm hoping there is more options then what was available 10 years ago.

Interesting, I know that can have an effect on migraines as well. I should ask my doctors about that.

 

This is a Canadian asking about the US. Though given that crappy state of things here we could consider it as well.

If the next president isn't picked as a result of the popular vote but as a result of the system being terrible then a majority of the people of the country will have been wronged.

Instead of doing civil war about it, what if there was a mass movement to just do nothing. Everyone just grabs a chair and sits on their lawn or in a park all day and just chills out instead of working, attending events, or really participating in the economy in any significant way. Take a sick day or somthing if it helps. But anybody can do nothing.

In only a few days, maybe less, the economy whould take a massive hit. Just everyone sits around untill a fair election is called without any electoral college or first past the post nonsense.

Obviously there's huge challenges to this. Like finding an end condition everyone can agree on. Also getting a representative to ensure the demands had been met. the huge wave of firing, threats, and violence from the other side whould probably have some effect. But the other side is a minority, and could be overwhelmed.

So if big enough, could it work?

 

Back in the early days of the internet I found this site with cool desktop backgrounds. I had one for a few years, and while digging though old files I found the it. So we are talking like to late 90s or early 2000s. I think the site was like "dark ___" or somthing edgy like that

I was curious if the old site was still around, or at least the artist, but Google reverse search didn't come up with anything.

It says primal on the bottom right, I didn't see much from the binary.

 

I'm not in the security field so sorry if I seem like a newbie. Not sure where else to ask.

I setup my own email domain thing with the help of some kind Lemmy folk. I'm on Namecheap, it was a little tricky for me to set up but it seems to have been working out great.

But yesterday, and again today I got this notice from DMARC that Mail . ru is doing stuff with my account.

advice I was able to google suggest I needed to change a setting from "none" to "reject".

can anyone tell me if I've done this right? also has any damage been done by me not having this set sooner?

 

Renting a room in an old house. The landlady is one of the rare good ones and cooks for me somtimes so I'm trying to be handy where I can.

This light in my office died, and a few others in the house are in dire need of replacing. Rusted and covered in decades of caked on dust, probably hazardous.

I keep seeing units like this. https://a.co/d/iU3hAd3

But I'm wondering if I should get a few of those or get another bulb style ceiling lamps and just use LED bulbs?

 

If you've ever had a landlord try this rennoviction nonsense on you then you may want to express some opinions in the survey. Or better yet, if you can, attend the virtual meeting.

 

nearly 16 are now "infected" I've been studying this thing for like 2 years, my scientist mentioned they could "solve" it some time ago. But now even they have been adding to the garden. I'm wondering if my curiosity has doomed them all.

 

Sorry for another "Is this autism or normal human behavior?" Post.

There's a long story as to why I am experiencing this again but it's not really any more relevant then the title of this post.

For older folk it's like that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa, out of pity, give Ralf Wiggim a valentines day card and he immediately starts invisioning a future with her as his romantic parter.

I've identified I have this same trait and I hate it. Looking back I've totally made people who had been nothing but kind to me uncomfortable and shut me out because of this.

Now knowing that I am doing this is at least making me a little more in control and hopfully less weird. But now I need to stop and asses every interaction I have which is itself awkward.

 

I made a deal with my employers, they'd provide me time and funding and I'd pass some project management training to help with task related to that role.

I've been doing project managment for years already and it's a subject I am confident in. The course was easy for me since I found one geared towards my learning style.

But I got too confident and suggested I could pass the certification exam. I havnt had an exam since high-school and I did pretty badly at those.

The problem is that the questions are mostly scenerio based and I am taking things too literally, focusing on the wrong detials, or considering things from the wrong perspectives. It's driving me crazy because I know what I am doing and I have a lot of pressure to succeed, but this poorly written exam could prevent me from achieving it.

Does anyone else have this issue or know any preparation resources I could use to help me intrupet these things better?

 

I can't get ahold of support but it's down for ne in Toronto and my family out in Waterloo. Seems to be another big one. I can't get any info on what's going on.

Not sure if its just me. But the subscribed view is just showing me feeds from a bunch if stuff I am not subscribed too. I am still able to see my subscriptions in the sidebar, it's just the feed view.

solved: comment from user Otter mentioned lemmy.ca had updated. Logging out and back in solves this issue.

 

I've delt with a lot of problem landlords and wish I was aware resources like this. It might be handy for those new to renting.

I've been having a dought. It's a small nagging one but it's there.

I've been working a lot with my therapist on self hate issues, but I can acknowledge them.

I realized I can never really be in any kind of physical relationship with somone because of this. I'm repulsed by myself and perhaps my asexuality is just a result of that.

I wonder if I am so repulsed by myself that the idea of me being with anyone is rejected because of the "me" part and not how I feel towards others. Where some may think "I want to kiss that person" I can't bare the thought if subjecting somone to me in that way. And therefore the thought is gross.

Does anyone else deal with this? Any advice?
