Now that you mention it, my phone is by far the most reliable alarm clock I’ve ever had. It does DST switches for me. The battery recharges itself. I just never noticed because phones sucked at first.
We have phones doubling as alarm clocks to thank for the technological gains in RTC (realtime clock) chips, and deeper CPU sleep states.
All new chips have robust sleep options these days because phones needed to be reliable alarm clocks when “off”.
Efficient RTC chips with alarm pins, born out of that chaotic era
We should also thank Network Time Protocol. And if wireless carriers are using something else, perhaps that too.
Fine! I’ll use my laptop instead.
How are you supposed to stop being sleepy in the morning without pulling out your phone.
It’s nice to know what time it is too
What’s this about right after waking up? (I may have struck this from memory)
Circadian rhythm is pseudoscience
Based and ironically pseudoscience-pilled.
It’s a matter of effort vs reward. Will it make it easier to sleep? Yes. Will it make it easier enough to be worth not using my phone? No.
Just bekause you believe it doesn’t mean you have to obey it
I believe science, that’s why I use my tablet instead
Monkey brain need dopamines 🥺
I mean, those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. I can believe the science AND ALSO engage in behaviors it says are unhealthy for me.
I agree. I believe science but I seriously think the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is wrong. They made SI bad by glossing over the necessary base unit of angle, there should be 8 base dimension, not 7.
Except it’s not a unit, it’s a unitless ratio. You’d have one for every number of dimension. The mol is arguably the extra one.
I seriously disagree with you, your you’re wrong.
here’s an article which supports my reasoning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.05704
No one stops you from putting radians and steradians in your units. But it’s unitless by definition.
I strongly disagree with the definition itself. And yes, there are stops that prevent me from doing that in scientific computing resources like sympy, matlab, and my professors.
You disagree that a ratio is unitless? What’s the cos of a unit?
I have night light mode on my phone. So I’m good!!!
That’s not a scientific thing tho ! Proven to have no effect in fact.
Apple wouldn’t lie to me.
Proven*
Samples sizes are always small, confounding variables poorly controlled and control groups often contaminated.
Long term effect are also poorly studied.
Proven to have no effect in fact.
I thought the blue light was the problem.
I’ve been trying to talk my wife into dropping the brightness to 50% for years. Her phone is so bright it keeps ME up at night on the other side of the bed. I have to set up a light shield to go to sleep :P
Just because I don’t follow the recommendation doesn’t mean I disbelieve it. Science also says I should eat better and exercise more and do less drugs 🤷♂️
Drugs are made with science
counterpoint:
The first reliably documented report of Psilocybe semilanceata intoxication involved a British family in 1799, who prepared a meal with mushrooms they had picked in London’s Green Park

It’s actually neutral on the subject of what you should do. That is for medicine and public health policy, or even personal choice.
some things we do just to see how bad they’ll make us feel
Just because I believe doesn’t mean I listen.
I don’t use my phone, but I do use an ereader. Maybe when real books become cheaper or the library becomes more convenient I’ll ditch that habit.
Books can definitely be expensive but they’re one item on an ever shortening list of things that corpos can’t claw back from you after purchase. For that reason, they’re money well spent if you ask me!
Me using phones : wow, I can sleep at 1am, great.
Me “just going to bed” : great, it’s 4am and I’m still overthinking my shortcomings!deleted by creator
I recently tried audio books and they worked surprisingly well for me. I tried some of those “bedtime stories for adults” at first but they were kind of lame. Stephen King’s short story collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes did the trick. Just speaker on my phone and set to read one chapter, ~1 hour in this case.

Yea I’m a weirdo! My dad owns pretty much every Stephen King book, so I started reading them in middle school
Yep. Numbing the thoughts away with constant input helps the body gain the upper hand and let me go to sleep.
