"movement", but it does explain a few more things that I didn't know.
8. One more bit of progress for Warren. I expect we'll hear more of this in his Orbital Operations e-newsletter.
9. Appalling. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Date: 2020-02-27 09:58 pm (UTC)Speaking from experience, it's very easy to get used to being tired to the point that it seems normal. I think a lot of people forget --or even don't know!-- that when they wake up they're supposed to feel awake and not sleepy, rested and not wishing they could sleep some more, alert, good and full of energy (as much as they can have of course) no matter how long they slept (some people really are fine with six hours some needs longer, which the article should have mentioned; quality is a better criteria than quantity even if the two can be correlated). Another common misconception is that, while taking naps or sleeping longer on weekends help you feel better it won't decrease your sleep debt. Missed sleep is forever lost.
