I've only ever had problems sleeping when I don't exercise, I work hard so I'm usually ready to sleep even after not exercising for up to a year. Best quality sleep I've found is when I have that sore feeling after a workout, I love that feeling and sleep is deep.
I've got a recipe for sleep hygiene as well, it's pretty simple.
Blinds and curtains that cover the windows and make it really dark.
No electronic devices in bedroom. I accept the phone at the moment because I haven't found a decent alarm clock.
Shower before bedtime.
Air room everyday for about an hour
Change sheets and everything else every two weeks
Air all bedding once every two week - shake it out, leave it in the sun for a while if possible
Have fresh water beside bed to drink
I don't know if there is any significant impact when the above is considered, however I avoid blue light. I usually on the computer up until 5 minutes before I sleep. By which stage there is very little that will keep me awake. When I train my wife tells me I am usually asleep within 30 seconds of putting my head on the pillow.
I will relate one other experience though. I've found that knots in your back may not be painful to the point that you are aware of them however they will keep you awake by simply making you uncomfortable. I posted here months ago about the extreme physiotherapy I have put myself through and part of resolving the scar tissue from sports injury meant I went through a period of several months where the knots in my back were so painful that they would wake me up at night and I could not sleep again. Fortunately those knots were also destroyed and it no longer affects me.
Just because you don't have current injuries doesn't mean the former ones, stress and emotional issues aren't affecting you in unexpected ways by manifesting physical issues (especially knots in the back). Losing sleep effects a degenerative feedback loop which can be broken by resolving the scar tissue from the injuries and the knotted muscles from stress and emotional issues. The physiotherapy may be confronting, however it's preferable to the frustration of nights without sleep and feeling like a zombie the next day.
Indeed, the sample size is small, but how are they supposed to get a larger sample?
There are a lot of posters here claiming the LNT model is bogus and Radiation hormesis leads to health benefits. They could volunteer to be exposed to this radiation as an opportunity for them to prove their point and help progress scientific understanding of the effects of exposure to deep space radiation.
Let's not forget the healing capacity of a 71 year old is a lot different from a 30 year old (for example). An injury like that needs a minimum of 6 months recovery and ongoing physio therapy.
The fire in his eyes was probably Ford not wanting to have anything to do with Star Wars anymore and he had had enough. The look was probably "If you don't write me out of this fucking movie I am going to sue you into oblivion".
At this point Science does not have any insights into what consciousness, intelligence, intuition, etc. actually is.
I'm curious if there are different types of consciousness. For instance aside from size, the difference between dolphin, elephant and, human brains and the way they work. Does that make for a different type of consciousness? Or is consciousness the same and awareness is what is different?
You look into the eyes of an animal and you can see a conscious awareness. Apart from wanting food, sex and sleep what else is going on in those consciousnesses? A fast constantly aware consciousness of a dolphin whose brain is always half asleep and half awake to a slow type of conscious awareness of an elephant that isn't threatened by much of anything.
It also seems that emotions are constants and that an animals experience of emotions is similar to ours (or ours to theirs), after all we seem to forget that we too are animals. But that stuff seems to be the chemical experience of life.
In particular for consciousness, there is simply no mechanism in Physics, but it looks more and more like intelligence on the level of a smart human being cannot actually be done with computing machinery in this universe either, not enough matter and energy available.
What if the universe is consciousness? Not conscious, as in aware but actual consciousness. Simulations of reality would have to end somewhere and what if the explanation of the creation of the universe is only missing how consciousness relates to it. Our individual experience of reality is consciousness, but what if the manifestation of the universe itself came when consciousness became aware, and then aware of itself?
What if consciousness is not a function of complex systems in the universe and reality is the other way around. What if the universe and complex systems are a function of consciousness manifesting into reality? What if the 'big bang' was the universe saying 'I am' and every living creatures experience of reality is the universe observing itself?
We get information about the world wide slide of the west into a dystopia, where every single country is passing more laws designed to 'keep us safe' which roughly translates to 'give politicians more power to control us'. You can almost see the politicians high fiving each other in the background as they deceive us with some new outrageous lie.
We get information about how world wide mega corporations suction the wealth of nations into their ever increasing profit books while introducing 6000 page monoliths of trade agreements to governments around the world and refer to the laws of countries designed to protect their people as 'obstructions' to trade as they complete the conversion of citizens rights into capital.
We get information about how spy agencies around the world increasingly capture record store our personal information as they move from covert to overt intelligence operations.
We get information about the world wide destruction of ecosystems, species collapse, combined with global warming and all of the political and social tactics used to stop any progress because if you can deny the carbon externalities then all the rest of them must be bogus as well.
It is what is implied by the better information, that the hidden autocrats controlling the reigns of global power aren't going to let go any time soon. The old powers control the wealth of the world and we all do not and they will not let go. That is the 'implied' information from this better information.
Then you must be a necrophiliac, and you'll have needed access to earth moving equipment as well. Still, it's probably the closest thing to sex you've had since the last time your daddy left a backup in your ass.
... I'd prefer it if it was all white though because of the heat,...
You do realise that they wear black because it's cooler?
No I didn't. I know you *look* cooler in black however I thought in all that heat you would just be better off not having a second layer of clothes over whatever else you are wearing. Perhaps I could wear a pair of swimmers underneath or something - or go nude under it perhaps.
Not being disrespectful here, I really do like the anonymity aspect of it.
yet again, a burger article is transformed into a rant about trump/hillary
Take two really orange looking buns, fill it with a dry chicken fillet, a pork fillet lots of uncooked onions, smear it with butter and then force everyone to eat it. Served cold.
I'm a man, I'm not islamic but I want to wear a burka that fully covers me. I wish I could get around town completely anonymous and out of the gaze of cameras. If it's good enough for islamic women to go around wearing one why can't I?
I know I would look hot in a burka because I have a great ass. I'd prefer it if it was all white though because of the heat, but I'm not sure how it would go down showing up at my friends place in a pseudo KKK outfit.

All life is going to go extinct when this planet is consumed by the dying sun. Deal with it.
I think we have more pressing problems than those that are 500million years away.

See what happens when the copy of the copy of the copy copies itself. That was always the actual question.
So to be or not to be be be be be be?
They taste like chicken, otherwise they are perfectly normal.
They seem to be getting the hang of capitalism.
Darth Vader would have been depressingly dumb if James Earl Jones hadn't done the voiceover. Imagine Vader with a thin English accent.
Your lack of faith disturbs me, old chap.
Ms Ally McBeal said that the injury was caused by gross negligence and irresponsible use of a lightsaber.

How about this one: two slabs of frozen butter with a filling of salt and sugar between to slices of cheese. It's a McMorbid Obesity.
