Hey folks, as some people have pointed out this is the last day of voter registration. It would be really great if we can all push that message out on every avenue we can: Facebook, Twitter, the Gram, work, friends, whatever. This is our final chance to get as many left-inclined voters eligible as we can

Jaeluni Asjil posted:There are other things you could try (if you were the OP on this topic): It's overstating it to say segmented sleep used to be normal - historians and scientists are still divided on the issue, see https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/37xksx/how_accepted_is_the_theory_that_most_humans/ Some people naturally tend to segmented sleep, but others do and did sleep a single time - it's also different in high latitude soceties like Britain and places nearer the Equator. It used to be more common though, for sure. But sleep quality and people not getting enough sleep due to electronics is definetly a thing - I had to nag my gf into actually getting 7-8 hours sleep instead of the 6 she was used to, and once she relented she did say it helped and made her feel better.

My partner has suffered with sleep problems for years and finally got referred to a specialist sleep clinic in London - they've confirmed a diagnosis of Delayed Phase Sleep Disorder, which literally means her body clock is set later than the average. She gets the same problems as some of you where left to her own devices she sleeps just fine, only from 5AM to mid-afternoon, and finally found a doctor who referred her rather than just talking about caffeine and screen time. Melatonin has a real and measurable effect at moving her sleeping hours forward if it's taken late in the evening about an hour before the desired bedtime, it's needed literally every night and can only move them forward so far but it's still an improvement - about 3 hours earlier in her case but it's really variable between individuals. There's no 100% fix unfortunately according to the specialist, so once you find the limits of the melatonin you just have to accept that those are the hours you keep.

Melatonin gives me insane, feverish sleep/dreams, even at the lowest dosage I could get my hands on. It sucks, because it sounds like a wonder supplement for people it works on

My second kid is 6 months old and my first has never slept well due to apnea and other stuff. Also having small kids means my only gaming time is after they and my wife have all gone to bed. As a result I get ridiculously little sleep and am constantly cranky, but on the plus side I can drop off in 10 seconds flat. I've noticed significant improvement in my overall mood since I accidentally ran a surge through my motherboard last week. gently caress you if you think I'm giving up gaming long term though!

Drugs are weird. When I was on citalopram I had intense dreams that I was being chased by the wreckage of a car crash I was in years ago. I'd just be dreaming about normal poo poo and then there'd be this scraping, and the radiator hissing out its steam, and it'd be there just following me from the distance blinking its amber lights at me. In my waking I started to get the terrified feeling I had in the dream, like it's there. And this medication was supposed to improve my mental health?

Mines 3.5 now, and has been sleeping through the night for about a year - but yeah, my only gaming time is 30-40mins in the evening (depending on if I'm putting him to bed or not) or how ever much time I get in the morning before he wakes. Hence I get up at 4 am to game for a couple of hours. (I'm in bed by 9 though) - I've always been an early bird, but having kids has pushed that to the extreme. his teeth came through no issues. when he first went to the dentist she said "oh, he's got two coming through right now" and we didn't even notice.

Chiming into sleep chat to say that citalopram gives me crazy nightmares which have led to me not sorting properly for nearly a year. The only way I can lessen (rather than get rid of) them is by having a spliff before bed. And that's not exactly a sustainable solution

My sleep has been all over the place since starting sertraline but I'm really enjoying the dreams at least. I've always dreamed a lot but now I have cool intense dreams every night. Could do without the night sweats though. That's just gross.

Been on it for 18 months. It certainly improved things for me, but I have been wondering if I should come off it at some point, and I do get nightmares.

Chiming in as former Insomniac Champion of the World 1997-2012. I saw a vitamin D recommendation, while an important supplement, it can cause wakefulness so don't take it at night. The biggest things that gently caress with sleep/circadian rhythms is alcohol, smoking, sedative effect type drugs, dehydration, eating late or having insulin resistance and exposure to blue light all day errrday until bedtime. Too hot a bedroom or not dark enough a bedroom can hinder as well. Stress is of course a massive loving hindrance to sleep and you obviously can't just wish that poo poo away. Exercising regularly, no caffeine after midday and having all my lights/screens gradually shift temperature towards the red and white noise when I settle down made the biggest differences to my sleep. It took a few weeks to get to a decent schedule, I sorted the above things then just wound myself through the clock an hour for a couple of weeks before I was settling down around 10pm pretty reliably (later at weekends with a permitted lie in until 11am or so). Heavy weight exercise in particular helps big time with stress levels. ZMA supplements an hour before bed can help and give me very trippy/interesting dreams. e: Oh yeah, echoing that I too have had some loving bizarre dreams and nightmares on citalopram and when I tried champix for quitting smoking.

So I went doorstepping for the first time a few days ago and it was surprisingly fun! Labour stronghold so it was friendly territory anyway, I guess. Anyway, anti-semetism came up once, but from someone who said she was probably gonna vote labour anyway, so we didn't discuss it. But it did make me think how I probably wouldn't be able to respond effectively to someone more worried by it. So I've whipped up a cribsheet which I hope will help convert some people, a single page I can hand out when doorstepping: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SBz9rLDLHOymIZ2S9JQFm3b1tW6D_XIZhVt9rTG2pgQ/edit?usp=sharing It's a hugely complicated issue and just not really practical to tackle on the doorstep (and takes time away from hitting more doors) so I reckon it's worth having this in my back pocket. Suggestions for edits welcome?

I get night sweats from auto-immune stuff, and what finally dealt with it was switching to a 2 tog bed-spread instead of a duvet (Ikea do a good one), and occasionally a light blanket on top. Anything more than that and I sweat like a bastard (while feeling chilled). Takes a bit of getting used to, but can stop your body going into sweat mode while you sleep.
