Someone built a mechanical circadian rhythm temporal synchronization system to detect thundersorms... in Minecraft.https://t.co/BtqZtj8frD
Here Russell Foster ( who? https://t.co/dhKWeCUATB ) talks about how disrupting the circadian rythm causes stress.. but for me I seem to work in reverse.I seem to have mutations for sensors in my eyes this talks about, so is particularly fascinating:https://t.co/U95498du99
"Whats I think really quite remarkable is many psychiatric illnesses are associated with sleep-wake timing disruption. It's always been dismissed [...] but increasingly we're finding that there seems to be a mechanistic overlap in the predisposition..."https://t.co/rQvoEqgk9i
"One of the great dangers of sleep deprivation is that you're impaired but don't appreciate how impaired […] what that impairment may do, in the artistic sense, is liberate certain connections and ideas that you might not normally put together."😎https://t.co/7kdMMrdOyw
When I get anxiety during the day, then burn out, my brain seems to enter a fugue state. If I force myself to stay up despite the exhaustion some later point I hit same mental state as when I am sick, & everything is super vivid in my head.Not sick, but I am tired(?)

I can't find thread, but I have a tweet about how I do all my best work when i'm avoiding stuff. Is a comment on how my anxiety drives me into a weird displacement activity where I calm down by doing research / learning and then start channeling my muse.https://t.co/7sIcqXKxxc
I'm genuinely worried that if I fix my sleep, I'll loose access to creative spark and curiosity without access to strong drugs. Been researching Da Vinci's Demons (Show) to see if there is an merit to idea that his creative states were driven by madness. https://t.co/NbLthDLdya
I'm going to buy some wine with my first paycheck. But not to drink (well maybe to drink).Mostly though, I want to see if I can attract and kill the female pantry moths that have invaded the house. The traps don't work on them (only the males).https://t.co/Z0KVFhNtOY
Balmer's Peak. The delicate space between drunken stupor and fever dream.https://t.co/jvQRT6xWiX
"It has often been stated that a poet should ‘‘write drunk and edit sober’’. [...] We all know that it is particularly difficult if not impossible to achieve such a state of ‘‘intoxication’’ with the computer." 🤔https://t.co/tGbRM8dFkT
Turns out my worry about losing creative spark may be founded in reality. If my creative powers stem from emotional reactivity driving synesthesia, then fixing the area that controls sleep may break it.https://t.co/HQlYMVzreL
If this is the case. I'm happy with being a mutant.https://t.co/Or8yzdYQtL
Become crepuscular.“Mammals have been enjoying the sunlight since the dinosaurs went extinct, but now we’re driving them back into the night-time, [...] We’re a ubiquitous, terrifying force on the planet — much like the dinosaurs were.”https://t.co/Wntjzsk39b https://t.co/E4hTasKVSw
