Shit! Something clicked just now. I’ve been having trouble sleeping for the better part of a year and thinking back it lines up with an infection. I’ve tried everything from quitting coffee to banned screens during an evening routine to working out at different times to tire myself out. Nothing helped.
Maybe this is the problem.
Doubt it. There are a billion reasons why you might not be sleeping as well. Getting older is a a big part of it.
Have you seen a sleep doctor? Ive never had COVID and started having trouble sleeping a year ago. TL;DR I have sleep apnea at 34 years old, have a CPAP now.
I haven’t, no. I absolutely should, especially given that the problem might be clinical instead of psychological.
What do you do for lighting in the evening? Morning?
I take my dogs out for a walk in the early sun, and at night I like warm LED lighting, just one or two sources.
Overhead (from ceiling) or lamps/more or less “eye level”?
Even if they’re warm they might be too bright, especially if they’re overhead. You might want to look into Hues, you can so red or amber or truly warm colors at adjustible brightness and automatically have them set to dimmer at the right time
Personal suggestion if you do Hues is set to pure red at around 8/9pm and to a dimmer level
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.
Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection

What are we using these days to get full access? Y’all are an amusing bunch, AND this looks like an important paper.
How am I supposed to believe that when I died within a year of getting my first COVID vaccine back in 2021 like I was told I would?
I don’t know about you, but I died of blood clots, cancer, heart disease, myocarditis, and a whole bunch of other things several times over now. Must be the eight COVID vaccines I’ve gotten I guess.
See, that’s where you’re missing the point. That fact that we all reanimated after death is proof that the vaccines had secret chemicals in them.
Also, the Bill Gates microchips. Don’t forget those. And I’m still magnetic.
But hey, at least your 5G reception is fantastic
Oh great, now you’re reminding me about how my cell phone gave me a brain tumor back in the 90s.
And just don’t ask me about the time I blew up a gas station because my mom called me while I was filling up.
And just don’t ask me about the time I blew up a gas station because my mom called me while I was filling up.
Oh shit I’d completely forgotten about that one.
I mean yeah, at least GSM phones (and I guess CDMA too since the frequency bands are pretty close) did tend to cause funky interference, but the idea that they could somehow cause fuel pumps to go boom was… well, a bit silly.
Yet these people never pick up on things like asbestos or lead or microplastics.
Pfft, woke cultural Marxist “scientists” controlled BIG GOBERMENT tell you that asbestos causes cancer or that tiny pieces of plastic can make you sick, and you believe them? I’ll snort a rail of asbestos just to trigger the libs.
But seriously speaking though, while yeah that was sarcastic as fuck, that’s essentially the world view behind why conservatives are increasingly detached from reality; anything “the left” (which, like I tend to quip, is apparently everyone left of the Strasserites nowadays) believes in is by default wrong because the left is wrong. The authorities, researchers etc. who say that CO2 emissions are a problem, or that drinking bleach or eating huge doses of dewormer won’t actually cure your COVID – which by the way you simultaneously believe to be a lie perpetrated by Jewish space lizards controlled by Bill Gates – are all “the left”, so those things just can’t be true
And popping popcorn with our phones. LoL those were the days.
This is likely the source of that particular conspiracy.
Watch out for water and sharks, squid dude.
I’m good with water, thanks, but never mind sharks. What I really need to look out for is other squid!
Damn, it’s a squid-eat-squid world
And not in a good way!
I don’t know about you, but everything has been wonderful and perfect since I let the vaccine microchips take over my brain.
It’s been terrible for me. My 5G signal still isn’t great. At least I have WiFi calling.
