I have this gut sense this person exists and she is a member of the transgender community

@bob omg I totally forgot about the polyphasic sleep nerds

@mxjaygrant happy to hear this sorry about my excess specificity

@mcc

I tried to get into sleep a few years ago. Kept a dream journal, practiced lucid activation, came up with ways of falling asleep faster, tried loads of different types of white noise. Only bit I really held onto was the weighted blanket.

@mcc but that would make it harder to sleep…

@mcc there's napping competitions, even if they're rare and vaguely defined: https://ncnl.tumblr.com/
But I would not be surprised if there is some overlap between people who create GitHub repos for napping competitions and people who are Python developers.

@nina_kali_nina @mcc they're missing a trick on the name of it, they should call it "collecting dust" :D

@nina_kali_nina @mcc I can't believe that one episode of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai is real.

@nina_kali_nina @mcc Hello excuse me I’m a Python developer and I’d like a summary of what you’re talking about because I just woke up

[lynndotpy@mastodon.social]

@mcc I can attest to her existence!

[mxjaygrant@triangletoot.party]

@mcc very long story short - I have a couple of lifelong sleep disorders, a passing interest in Jung, and a lot of autism.

I went down a real deep rabbit hole about dreams and dreaming in my teenage years, then another one in my 20s when I was trying to figure out why I could stay up for a week straight (protip: that's bad)

And now in my mid 40s I'm now the person all my friends and family talk to about sleep and beds
