Skip the Coke, Keep the Nap
If this study gets further verified, I’m bringing a pillow to my office. I often like to say that mentally I don’t feel like I’m older or see the world very differently than I did when I was 21. I know I am and I do, but it doesn’t feel that way, especially when I start singing along with my 90s playlists. But I think lack of sleep hits me earlier and harder than it ever did back then, and I really gotta train myself to accept that I just need to go to bed earlier. (Like, say, now, instead of blogging.) Now if the world would just agree to shut itself down for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, think of how much more we could get done.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
