And I thought you were the best thing that ever happened to me - Talk 2 Me

I honestly believe the whole “adults require less sleep” thing is honest to god probably a myth created by capitalism
It is.
i honestly believe that sleep deprivation is the biggest ignored/neglected root cause of health dangers that prematurely kill adults
ask me sometime about the role of sleep in the leptin ghrelin cycle and how its interruption destabilizes weight homeostasis
or about the new research showing that heart disease is not caused by fat, like we thought for years, but by inflammation in the circulatory system whose root cause is unknown but one of the prime suspects is, you guessed it, sleep deprivation
but nobody wants to hear that lack of sleep is killing people. employers don’t want to hear it. and god knows that having sold their waking hours to capitalism to survive workers don’t want to lose the only time they have left to them to live their lives, mostly stolen from sleep
i mean even i don’t want to do anything about it and i love sleep, i just love overwatch more
this this this this this
our society places almost zero value on sleep
on enough sleep
on uninterrupted sleep
on regular, predictable, cycling sleep
all the evidence we have suggests sleep is really, really, really important to the processes of the human body, including both mental and physical health, and yet when was the last time you heard somebody suggest that people had a *right* to sufficient, regular sleep?
Reminder that
- Humans are not meant to sleep for extended periods of uninterrupted sleep.
By this I don’t mean “humans shouldn’t have 8+ hours of sleep a night”; I mean that we are supposed to sleep for four to five hours (ish), then get up and do something relaxing like reading for a half hour to an hour, then get another bout of four to five hours. This is what our bodies were designed for.
Sleeping the whole night through was a fad started with the advent of the lightbulb. Sleeping the whole night through is so recent (and artificial) that First Sleep and Second Sleep are mentioned in Dickens’ novels.
- Lack of sleep for even a single night severely compromises your immune system.
If you’re planning on getting little sleep or pulling an all-nighter, make sure to eat lots of fruit and veggies/take vitamins that day. Or even better, get yourself some bee propolis. It’s a natural remedy used for thousands of years in Latin America and is insanely good for boosting up compromised immune systems (if you get the drop kind, put 3 to 4 drops in a spoonful of honey and mix well with a 2nd spoon to mask the strong taste). It has no side effects and is all but impossible to overdose on.
- According to several government bodies around the world, chronic lack of sleep is literally tied for 1st place as the worst kind of torture (the other is solitary isolation)
- Expecting a teen to get up for 8:30 classes is the equivalent of expecting an adult to be at work at 4 am.
After babies, teens are the age group that needs the most amount of sleep. Puberty is exhausting, and the body needs time to recharge. Ideally, a teen should be getting between 10 to 12 hours of sleep at the bare minimum. Most teens are lucky if they manage to get 8. And that’s a gigantic problem; not only does lack of sleep affect mood (which is extra significant when your hormones are already riding a rollercoaster to begin with), but also has massive effects on growth, which is kinda what the whole puberty thing is supposed to be about.
- According to research “starting work before 10 a.m. is tantamount to torture and is making staff sick and stressed”
- Humans were not designed to have the same sleep cycle across the species. Much the opposite in fact.
Night owls and morning people are an actual thing. Because we’re pack creatures, Nature came up with a clever way for our ancestors to always have someone on the lookout for predators and threats: make people naturally alert at varying times so that there’s always someone alert to keep watch.
Forcing night owls to follow morning people’s sleep cycle means night owls live with what researchers have referred to as “permanent jetlag”.

*AHEM*
THAT’S THE RIGHT DESCRIPTION
PERMANENT JET LAG
THAT’S THE BEST ONE

September is Bi Visibility month so shoutout to all my bisexual pals out there! I love you, you are amazing 💗
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.

Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
i-
….thank you tumblr??

Sometimes selfcare is drawing a mother who loves her baby turtleducklings very much :)
perhaps i cried
Azula’s relationship with her mother plays such a huge role in who she becomes and what happens to her on the show, yet it remains something of a mystery. Based on what little is revealed on the show (and in the *shudder* comics), it’s obvious that Azula and Ursa had a troubled relationship.
First, let me get something out the way. I’m not interested in judging Ursa, demonizing Azula or blaming Bryke or Gene Yang for this. It is what it is. Instead, I want to look at the evidence we have and try to figure out how the mother-daughter relationship became so damaged.
“My own mother thought I was a monster.” —Azula, “The Beach”
“I know what you really think of me. You think I’m a monster.” —Azula, “Sozin’s Comet, Part 3: Into the Inferno″
“Tell me, Mother, did you have to have a new daughter because your last one turned out to be such a monster?!” —Azula, “The Search, Part Three”
Although we never see Ursa say such a thing outright, Azula is convinced her mother thinks she’s a monster.
Let’s examine this monster thing for a sec because I think most people gloss over exactly what Azula is saying about herself when she mentions it. When Azula says that her mother thinks she’s a monster, doesn’t mean a naughty child or a bad person. She’s talking about being so repulsive and so terrifying that she’s not even human. She’s saying that the one person in the world who should love her unconditionally doesn’t even recognize her as human.
Something must have gone horribly wrong for Azula to sincerely believe this.
So what happened?
Neither the show nor the comics provides a full picture of Azula’s childhood, but the evidence we do have suggests that Azula grew up with a distinct lack of parental nurturing. We never see Ursa give Azula the physical or verbal affection she gives to Zuko. The only time we see Ursa specifically pay attention to Azula is to reprimand her for misbehaving.
To a degree, this is understandable. As a child, Azula is, shall we say, a handful. Yet she was still, y’know, a child, and has a child’s need for attention, affection and nurturing regardless of how naughty she could be. When Ursa (as Noriko) tells Azula that she didn’t love her enough, this is likely what she means.
So how did this happen?
The comics make it clear that Ozai went to great lengths to control Ursa. He cut her off from the family and friends she grew up with. He regularly invaded her privacy, intercepting her letters to read the contents. It’s strongly suggested that Ozai physically abused her as well.
As a prince of the Fire Nation, Ozai held absolute power over Ursa and his children. There was no way she could get away with openly defying him. The one time she even mentioned leaving him and taking their children with her, he threatened to kill them all. Ursa was trapped in her marriage with Ozai, unable to fight or flee.
Thus, it’s not a stretch to say that Ursa was deeply unhappy at the palace, if not outright depressed. The only time we see her truly happy is when she’s interacting with Zuko. As a result, it’s easy to imagine that her capacity to be emotionally attuned to both children was limited, and Zuko got the lion’s share of attention, nurturing, and affection. I doubt Ursa meant for it to happen that way, but Azula, precocious as she was, would have certainly picked up on how they were being treated differently. Yet, and I must repeat this, she was still a child, and children aren’t good at nuanced thinking. Lacking a solid foundation of affection to remind Azula that she is loved, it’s not much of a leap to internalizing that as revulsion or hate.
“What is wrong with that child?” —Ursa, “Zuko Alone”
By the time Ursa even came around to wondering what was going on with Azula, seeking Ursa’s attention through misbehaving had already become habitual for Azula. Setting fire to one of the flowers in the royal garden couldn’t have been a more blatant demand for attention if she tried.
That’s not surprising. What is surprising is that Ursa never picked up on it. She’s so out of touch with her daughter that she doesn’t have a sense of what’s normal and abnormal for her. Like the turtleduck scene. Ursa knows right away that Zuko hurling a chunk of bread at them is out of character for him, and she asks him about it. Meanwhile, Azula says some weird and slightly disturbing stuff for an eight-year-old, but Ursa never asks where she picked that up.
I know what you may be thinking, gentle reader. Even if Ursa did ask, Azula would just lie about it, especially if Ozai told her not to tell her mother anything. You’re probably right, but that raises more questions, like, “Who is teaching this child to keep secrets from her own mother, and why?”
Maybe if circumstances were different, she would have gotten around to asking those questions.
This is a pretty long post with a lot to chew on, so I’m gonna stop here.
Azula was just a kid, remember that.
