Not OP, but a lot of American companies do layoffs on a Friday in an attempt to have fewer headlines on a weekend (news outlets aren’t fully staffed then, people are distracted, etc.)

Any other recs?

You get 3+ hours of deep sleep?! I seem to regularly crack 1 hour of deep sleep (tracked by my watch) but that’s it.

Anything you’ve done or do to improve the amount you get?

Word of warning, the sleep trackers on the market are not very accurate for tracking sleep phases. Folks like Matthew Walker are pretty adamant about this. You have to measure your electric brain waves to know for sure, not approximations from heartbeat, movement, etc.

My Oura and Fitbit sometimes give wildly different sleep phase readings for the same night. Also, each will sometimes give arbitrarily unexpected readings that leave me scratching my head.

As someone mentioned, those trackers aren't that accurate.

However, if you think you don't get much deep sleep, for the love of everything, get tested for sleep apnea. A home sleep study is quick and easy if you have reasonable insurance, and if you do have apnea, getting it treated could literally change your life (or even save it).

+1 for EPI. Using it now myself. It's great stuff.

+1. It was a terrific read when I took my Computability course, very, very well-written.

I think so (not the original replier).

SPOILER FOR THE FIRST NOVEL . . . . . .

The whole paradigm of Earth defense changes so dramatically, as people realize sophons can see everything people do. I highly recommend continuing, as you see society changes in the series.

I assume you meant 53 representatives?
