Great read, especially for those entering the PhD / graduate school application cycle.

It’s hard out here and perspectives (if nothing else) help you feel less alone!

Orangutans nap to make up for lost sleep New study reveals that wild orangutans recover from sleep loss with daytime naps, much like humans do

News you can use for better sleep 💤

Like us, orangutans need a good night's sleep. If they don't get enough, they squeeze in a nap the next day. They even have a trick: up to 10 mins napping for each hour missed last night. Try it at home.
