  • I believe it, because my sleep habits and general demeanor in the summer versus the winter are vastly different.

    I have a sun lamp (I call it my SAD boi lamp) I use during the winter months in the morning and I absolutely notice the benefits of it right away. I feel more energized and in a much better mood. I remember reading somewhere (maybe from the Philips product website) that as little as 15 minutes of sun lamp time is enough to be beneficial, but I leave mine on for about an hour.

    The circadian rhythms benefits are absolutely true too. Your body says ok, the sun just rose, so let me set my awake timer countdown now. I would highly recommend it even if you don’t have seasonal affective disorder for the sleep improvement alone. I find it’s much easier to go to bed and after a few days of use, it’s easier to get out of bed as well!





  • Just finished a book about the Lusitania sinking in WW1, this situation (very vaguely) reminds me of that, given that Germany was publicly threatening to sink vessels headed to Britain under the assumption they could be transporting supplies. They went so far as to take an ad out in the paper warning the ship not to sail, as it would be a target.

    Would highly recommend it by the way, it was called Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of The Lusitania and it was meticulously researched and very well written. There is a lot more to the story than what I said here and is well worth the read.





  • This is very cool that you can interact between these two sites. I’m going to stick with my Lemmy account for now since this seems like it’s much easier to do on the web browser version of Mastodon and not so much on the apps!

    As another user said I also don’t like that individual comments show up as boosts, and on one of the three mastodon apps I’ve been trying (lol) it doesn’t show what the comment is replying to
