  • I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia.

  • But seriously tho, it's just depression, can't sleep, hence this showerthought

    Well... maybe. You've accidentally come up with something that actually exists, called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. And about half of people with DSPD have depression. 😬 (Also common in ADHDers.)

    The circadian rhythms of people with DSPD are offset compared to people without it, so it is a bit like time zones in that respect. And if you try to "fight" it, by getting up early and holding down a 9-5 job, the effects are often compared to jet lag.

  • Type-2 Diabetics of Lemmy: What were some of your symptoms that you only realized after your diagnosis were symptoms of diabetes?

    Jump

  • You're so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

    Assuming it's the same feeling, it's such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it's like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

    YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won't take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that's enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don't even feel that deprived when you're having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I've lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don't even really exercise!

    Jump

  • This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda... started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of "what diabetes might feel like", so I asked for blood tests, and yep.

    I don't think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

    Jump

  • This may or may not be a joke, but yes, this is very often talked about among ADHDers!

    I'm AuDHD and thankfully this is one area where my ordered, autistic side wins out – i.e. I have meticulously organised bookmarks and "Raindrop" tags for everything instead. 😄 I couldn't stand having tons of tabs open.

  • The VPN panic is only getting started

    Jump

  • I don't have kids, but if age restriction did come for VPNs, I honestly think I'd subscribe to one for them. Or at least bring back the idea of having a "family computer" in the main living area, where they can use a VPN with supervision.

    I know everyone's kids are different, but surely it's better to at least attempt to teach them how to use the internet safely and in a healthy way (adblock, security, privacy, bots, scams, the perils of social media, discussions about porn and when it is and isn't healthy/exploitative etc.) rather than keeping them on The Pretend Internet till they're 18 and then unleashing them on the world. 😬 So they can fall for every scam and get "hacked" every few days and argue with AI bots like old ladies.
