Did you know that as soon as you put the switched-on mobile phone on the hive, the bees stop collecting honey? STRAIGHTAWAY!
Two years ago I changed my job to a quieter one, but my sleep disturbances remained.
And as it turned out, the reason for this was a mobile phone!
Changing a smartphone, operating system and ringtone is only the top, psychological layer.
I will not give generally accepted recommendations regarding coffee, movies and not using gadgets an hour before bedtime.
The latter is generally funny for us IT people, but you can read Thomas Kajta’s professional/fiction literature!
Does not help? That's it!
I tried to sleep based on the cardinal directions (they recommend north), but there is also a dependence on the zodiac sign, gender, marital status and phase of the moon - it’s not the same.
The dream remained uneasy, and the morning state was, let’s say, rumpled:
By the way, do you use ringtones on your alarm clock? Put them in the oven!
Even if you set your favorite melody, after a week you begin to hate it.
A “smart” alarm clock with a bracelet - forget it like a bad dream!
The only convenient option was the “vibrate” alarm mode
At night, you should put your phone on silent mode and all instant messengers on “do not disturb” mode.
Well, the sky won’t fall because you don’t like the hundred thousandth repost or photo of Tanya, Masha, Petya.
I completely turned off all social media notifications, except for graphic ones.
And do you think it has become easier? No!
It was already a sinful thing to start looking at the technology of electrosleep:
Now known as micropolarization or TDCS, it is used mainly to increase reaction/attention, but it can also be done the other way around.
But stop! We have a head - not only to eat or quickly shoot at the enemy, it is our working tool, and connecting conductors to it is not a fountain.
In fact, the solution was suggested by bees, microcontrollers (which reset within a meter from the mobile phone) and VACATION!
All these two years, when I went to bed, I already automatically put my smartphone at the head of the bed!
AT THE HEADHEAD, CARL!
And then he stopped.
On the last day of vacation, I already began to mentally prepare for the state of “As soon as I went to work, I was immediately dead.” p. Spleen.
But in the evening I put my smartphone not at the head of the bed, but on the nightstand, at the feet, half a meter from the bed.
And then somehow the sunrises and getting up at 6:30 suddenly became good, without any coffee
Now let’s hypothetically imagine that if a mobile phone “hits” your head like that, then what does a “smart” Bluetooth bracelet do with every move you make?
It sends this data to your smartphone! I agree - it emits an order of magnitude less, but it still emits.
It’s like, instead of hitting your skull with a stick, gently pat it down during the night.
No, it cannot be said that it was precisely this change in the position of the phone that led to the normalization of sleep, all of the above is possible.
Or maybe the anxiety state has gone away due to the statute of limitations, but now my mobile Feng Shui for the night is no closer than half a meter at my feet (unless I can take it into the next room).
Whatever the fate of the galaxy depends on it 😉
What does coffee have to do with it? It's very simple - humanity has come up with hundreds of ways to prepare this drink. For example, I like Americano, where boiling water is added to the espresso, and not vice versa (because the taste is already different).
And someone considers all this to be cockroaches in the minds of consumers, pours a spoonful of instant with heated water from the office cooler and goes for a smoke break.
Because there is no arguing about tastes and cockroaches.
Yes, I allowed one of my Prussians to get into Habr.
If this publication is not even worthy of a reading room, well, I will ask the administration to demolish it altogether.
And the downsides - God bless them, in a month, when the rating reaches zero, maybe I’ll write a normal article.
PS Dedicated to haters:
I consider the practice of voting “minus” to be unworthy without explaining in the comments the reasons for this action.
And especially if there are no photographs or publications behind the soul on Habré.
