etagobla··on Deep Sleep May Help the Brain Clear Alzheimer's Toxins
One thing I want to try to eliminate stress is an internet detox. I think just surfing the web, even semi-intelligent stuff like Hacker News, might be really stressful. I ditched my computer and phone today while the sun was up and it was an uneasy feeling -- beyond the withdrawal, it seemed like the world I was seeing was actually a lot brighter and safer than what I'd read about online. People seemed more approachable or at least safer and happier when I took the time to look. I cleaned my room on the third hour because I wanted to, not because some stressed out blogger told me to. Right now I feel just relaxed.

This may sound stupid but it's the first time in a while that I ditched the internet in a place where I normally would have it. Now I'm wondering if our more primitive ancestors would have viewed it as a cesspool of negativity that not only freaks us out but distracts us from more obvious personal issues.

Anyway the connection to sleep is that stress obviously can mess with your sleep.

Have you ever left US eggs out? They smell and taste fine, even after a couple weeks.

If it smells like an egg, it's probably not a rotten egg.

I think it's incredibly mature of you to realize this and accept it without the anger towards women that is so common among young men these days.

All this tells me is the real percentage of people on this Math and Science Forum who don't read the article before making some politicized comment. It shocks me.

Actually, we could remedy most of these comments by thinking about the title for a couple seconds.
