Zero. That's my sleep debt this week, for the first time since March.
I've been staring at that number for months, and I'm not sure it ever did much besides give me one more thing to feel behind on. Now that it's at zero, I'm going to bed at ten every night, and I can't tell if that's my brain finally listening, or my body finally being heard.
TODAY’S PICKS
THE FEATURE
The Work of Actually Seeing Someone.
Apparently the whole 'be a good person' thing has less to do with following rules than with how closely you're actually willing to look at someone. Wild.
THE REFLECTION
You're Not Allowed to Dance in Prison.
Inside a women's prison, you're not allowed to dance, hug, or really move much at all. Except for one hour a week, when this woman shows up with yoga mats.
THE WILDCARD
Hug, Handshake, or Wave.
Apparently there's a real four-second window where your brain decides hug, handshake, or wave, and most of us are getting it wrong constantly.
If you know someone who'd love this, send it to them.
That's the whole ask.
There's something in it for you too.
Details below.
My answer:
Wave. Every time. Worst case, nothing happens. Best case, you just made someone's day a little better.
