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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Pfft, woke cultural Marxist "scientists" controlled by 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 CO^2^ 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
