try sleeping without curtains and letting sunshine onto your skin
don't force your eyes open. don't force your body to move.
let sunshine awaken you in the morning. literally activates mitochondrias, which travel around the body to wake up all. sleep naked therefore
Just so it's clear, mitochondria (which is already plural) sit inside cells and can't travel ‘around the body’.
fuck have i been compromised by the article i read on light therapy?
https://publichealthpolicyjournal.com/new-study-sunlight-penetrates-the-human-body-improving-mitochondrial-function-and-vision/
okay actually i mixed that together with something else. fuck, too much screentime and feeds for me
"Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" is a meme and you still somehow didn't learn it
You can't be naked and have the curtains open here. Its indecent exposure and you go on the sex offender registry.
Which country do you live in? Genuinely curious, as I tend to sleep in the nude. (it helps that nobody can see through my window)
The US. Some states ban all nudity that can be seen from a public location, some states allow for accidents and only criminalize doing it on purpose.
That’s a bit intense, unless that person is an exhibitionist and is intentionally doing so from inside of their apartment. When they know others have a clear line of sight from outside.
It's that lovely theocratic bent we've got.
Can you elaborate on that?
Christian Puritanism has been a strong influence on American culture for hundreds of years.
Is it similar to Greek Orthodox? Or a completely distinct variation from the older variants (Catholic, Greek Orthodox, the recent Protestant) in Europe?
South asia has the Syrian Christians which has changed over time due to the local culture.
It's a little complicated actually because it describes both a specific movement and a general moral-police trend, in the way Luddite has two meanings. Skimming the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puritans should cover the major points but the short version is they believed the government should enforce Proper Christian behavior and they hated Catholics (and most other Christians). Also they banned Christmas.
Thanks for your patience and help, in teaching me something new. :)
It goes back to before the nation was founded, the first colonists were largely Puritan, which was a fundamentalist protestant sect. They had a lot of strict beliefs about sin, sex, and temptation that are basically why we have this hyper-conservative culture and are weirdly prudish about stuff sometimes.
okay some pajamas then. sunlight shining in your face, hands and feet is adequate too
just takes longer ime
That would be nice, except I'd be two hours late for work :( Works great in spring though.
I have light sensitivity and dealt with migraines for years before I realized blackout curtains were the cure.
I would kill myself if I had to go back.
