Students if school started at a later time: “That means later bed-time :D”

dustyData, (edited )

Uhh, yes? I think that is kind of the point. To acknowledge they do have a different sleep requirements than adults and elders.

Setarkus,

In terms of what time they go to bed? I might be missing something here but what I meant was that they’d just go to bed since school doesn’t start that early, so they’d lack sleep again anyways.

Furball,

I’m pretty sure teenagers are naturally programmed to go to bed at later times.

dustyData,

The idea is that teenagers find it really hard to go to bed early. But school still starts very early. So they end up sleeping less than they should to function. The anti biology stance of “they should go to bed earlier” is not helpful. What’s helpful is starting school later, let them have their vigil time into later hours, then they can sleep and recover fully, and do better at school. Thus potentially creating better educated adults.

See there’s your problem. We can’t have all these better educated adults in a functioning society. They’ll become all liberal and ruin our perfectly established capitalism with their cries for a living wage or whatever peasants call for these days.

Can confirm. My last two years of high school it started at 9, and I’m now a leftist who believes decentralization is a virtue

Imagine if I didn’t have to get up at 6 the first 2 years…I might’ve even tried organizing or something. Instead I’m just tired most of the time

jjagaimo,

Something everyone here seems to be forgetting is that even if you are getting the same amount of sleep, sleeping at a time which fits your biological clock better is better for you. I can get some amount of sleep and wake up at 5am and be tired the whole day, and yet if I wake up at 8-9am with the same amount of sleep I am perfectly functional the whole day.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

I noticed exactly this since starting WFH. Even if I suffer a bout of insomnia – where I get maybe 3 hours of sleep – just being able to sleep in to 0800 makes it so much more tolerable.

It goes from feeling tormented to just feeling rough around the edges.

God but I remember fighting to keep my eyes open at school and at work back then.

i still have to fight back sleeping anytime i am in a meeting. i actually started hallucinating once. doesnt even matter how much sleep i actually got or if its at the right time, i just automatically get tired sitting down listening to people talk

MycoBro,

Man. I can handle 30 min pretty easy. After that I have to stand up at the back of the room cause otherwise I’d be nodding off so hard I would hurt my neck.

ramjambamalam, (edited )

I mean this kindly: have you had a sleep study recently? That doesn’t sound typical and you may have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea. Diagnosis and treatment could give you more energy during the day. Take care!

dejected_warp_core,

Circadian rhythms are rooted in our very cells and dominate our lives. Defying them always comes at a penalty. Adding to the complexity here is that everyone is different; social norms be damned.

Jetlag is probably the best studied phenomenon for trying to “break the rules”, and surprise, there is no remedy other than waiting a few days to acclimate to a different solar cycle.

EmergMemeHologram, (edited )

When I was in university I designed a semester around only having afternoon+evening classes.

I slept to 11 every day, which turned into staying up to 3 each night.

Rolder,

That’s still 8 hours of sleep, seems fine to me.

devfuuu,

I had a whole semester where classes where all in the morning (there was no choice until I had failed on the following years) and that whole semester I didn’t go to any classes. Great times sleeping.

someguy3, (edited )

There’s two parts, amount of sleep and teens have a later sleep schedule (ie night owl).

But in any case just because some may abuse it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have it for everyone else.

    Um no, because teens are naturally on a later schedule with their circadian rhythm. They are natural night owls. Their circadian rhythm signals their body to go to sleep later than children or adults. Read into it, this is well researched.

    I almost want to disagree with you, but this is legitimately how my friends and I would have responded to a later start time lol

    Setarkus,

    Same for myself, knowing that I’d do that was one of the reasons I even thought to write that :D

    just go to one of the more tense instances and say capitalism good/capitalism bad and you’ll have more than enough.

    Or if you’re feeling really brave write a comment about why veganism is correct literally anywhere.

    balderdash9,
    HelixDab2,

    I’d argue that the problem isn’t so much saying that you’re a vegan because X, Y, Z, but that very often vegans extend that to moral judgements about people that aren’t vegan, without accepting that there are reasons someone may not wish to be a vegan. Y’know, god forbid that you tell a vegan that you hunt your own meat, and only kill/eat invasive species that are disrupting the ecosystem, like feral pigs, or lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico.

    naevaTheRat,

    Gotta love the first line of the wikipedia article on this commercial. Yes, there is a wikipedia article on this commercial.

    “Coming Home” (commonly referred to by unofficial titles such as the Folgers Incest Ad

    Wiki here

    pascal, (edited )

    I watched the ad, never seen before… Am I blind for not seeing the mentioned sexual tension here?

    Looks like a common american style ad to me.

    corsicanguppy,

    So

    1. Commercial
    2. Webtreads get crazy
    3. Wikipedia page about the things some treads imagined
    4. “Things some fringe group went crazy over” is how we define ‘edgy trauma’ now

    By that logic, the pizza basements were real.

    Jax, (edited )

    You mean threads?

    Also, no, it’s not fucking normal to say “you’re my present this year” to your sister. Shit’s creepy, the only way someone thinks it isn’t is because they’re either socially inept or a KHV.

    SCB,

    What if your sister lives in a different country, and you haven’t seen her in ages, and she comes to visit you, and then you find out she packed her really sexy lingerie?

    Gabu,

    it’s not fucking normal to say “you’re my present this year” to your sister.

    socially inept

    Oh, the irony.
    You may not have caught it, but that phrase isn’t what’s innapropriate about the commercial.

    Jax,

    You do understand the whole thing is creepy, right?

    SoleInvictus,
    @SoleInvictus@lemmy.world avatar

    I was initially really confused about why you were suggesting someone was the koi herpes virus.

    For any other confused fish people, KHV stands for kissless, hugless virgin.

    “She peels off the red bow and sticks it on his shirt. “What are you doing?” he asks. “You’re my present this year,” she responds. The camera zooms in on her shy glance, then cuts to his furtive, flirty smile.”

    Ranvier, (edited ) in We don't accept insurance

    Unfortunately doctors have no magic fixes for back pain related to muscular strains or degenerative disease/arthritis, which is most back pain. Treatments are basically physical therapy and nsaid medications. Surgery for low back pain from degenerative disease/arthritis alone has poor evidence with most randomized trials suggesting no difference. Even opiates fail to show any superiority over nsaids (like ibuprofen or naproxen) for back pain. Not saying don’t see your doctor about bad persistent back pain, there’s always edge cases or bizarre causes that may need addressing. But unfortunately no magic bullet for the vast majority of typical low back pain.

    Review on surgery indications in back pain ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10107811/

    Randomized trial of opioid and nsiads in back pain, hip pain, and knee pain from degenerative disease/arthritis pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29509867/

    Also, I know it’s a meme, but the billing code doctors use for even the most complicated of visits going over an hour and involving multiple potentially life threatening conditions or treatments isn’t anywhere close to $3000. Let alone a visit for routine back pain which wouldn’t qualify for anything like the highest billing codes.

    monsieur_jean,

    Agreed. I'm currently trying to fix my shoulders. Turns out the fix to "some of your muscles are too powerful and some aren't enough" is not an easy one and consists mostly in slowly and painfully correcting your posture with targeted exercises. Daily. For months.

    I'm almost to the point where I say fuck it, I'll just train through pain and hopefully it will fix itself at some point. It worked for my tennis elbow after all... XD

    the_post_of_tom_joad,

    Also, I know it’s a meme, but

    Im gently chiding you, i promise, but if you know, then why?

    Ranvier, (edited )

    People say the content of the meme in all seriousness all the time too is mainly why, thinking the doctor is responsible for that cost. I didn’t want it to become an attack on OP though, not my intent. And maybe my comments will encourage more wholesome memes about evil health care administrators and insurance company execs instead, the true enemy, haha.

    the_post_of_tom_joad,

    Thanks for explaining, i was truly just curious. See ya!

    jackoneill,

    If the doctor needs an mri and your insurance won’t cover the mri $3k isn’t far off. I’ve been in that position before. Had to give the radiology folks $500 down payment and then let them send the rest to collections to get an mri so my doctor could ultimately not to jack shit to help me, but her still charged me too. Fuck America.

    Ranvier, (edited )

    That’s true! But the mri costs are billed by the facility and hospital and generally have nothing to do with the doctor. Doubly the insurance and hospitals play games with each other, so the billed amounts end up being way more if not paying with insurance. I get bugged by memes and statements suggesting that doctors are the driver of the cost when it’s actually insurance companies, health care facilities, hospitals, medical equipment companies, and pharmaceuticals that are primarily driving all of this. Your doctor probably wanted to be sure there was nothing dangerous or abnormal. If it only showed arthritis there’s usually not much more that can be done besides pt and nsaids. Even the radiologist fee is a small part of the actual mri charge. Doctors just want to get people the tests and treatments that are indicated, but are the person people actually interact with so tend to take all the blame. I agree with you our health system is a mess.
