What Are Dreams For? Converging lines of research suggest that we might be misunderstanding something we do every night of our lives.

Neuroscientists have long believed that our bodies are paralyzed during REM sleep to prevent us from acting out our dreams, and the twitches we make are movements that slip through the cracks—but recent research tells another story.

The Pain of Perfectionism It’s the fault people humblebrag about in job interviews, but psychologists are discovering more and more about the real harm it causes.

Good morning. Happy Sunday. Still deciding if i woke up, or just ran out of sleep

A weekend should have more days. I’m off next week so basically shouldn’t complain, but still. More days

0:43 A.M.

Sleep has been no friend of mine lately

welcome 🌒 to my notebook left open.
some pages will be messy, some unfinished, all of them honest.

i write while i’m learning. about the mind, the self, and whatever else shows up.
