    I think that's something that scientists determined in the 70's or something, like we're missing something fondamental in our understanding of humans to be able to create something sentient. And WE haven't made any progress in that direction. We just have bigger toys based on the exact same...

    Are we ? Isn't it just a fancy search engine. Actually, worse than that, as we can see, it's like google on steroid, censoring entirely whatever isn't politicaly correct. You don't have access the the "source material", so it's a search engine for dumb people. I might be wrong, but to me it...

    Something lasting that long could be lpr? Look that up, and if you think it's possible gargle/throw in the nose some water with sodium bicarbonate every few hours, if it gets better quickly, that's it.

    My experience with kids: one year in the bio-hazard areas which are nurseries make them pretty tough afterward... My older one, 6 year old, hasn't missed a single day of school due to sickness.

    I was snoring a lot, my wife complained a lot. Lost 50 pounds from 32 bmi to 24. Snoring gone entirely. For me it's magnesium, vitD and tryptophane before bed, not all the Time, but regularly and it does the job. I don't think there's any side effect associated with this.

    Sugar is the worst offender, but I understand that people want to roll back everything done in the second half of the 20th century. 'Science' was telling us that carbs were the foundation of our diet... Those industrial fat don't look too great either. Probably a lot less bad than industrial...

    It seems like working as intended... Considering how widely used melatonin is for lots of stuff and that no study report any serious side effect for melatonin for humans, I'd say it's one of the safest sleeping pill you can find. But as all supplement and drugs, obviously the least you need, the...

    There is no study showing it, but I think the reason why some people are recommending to not use it long term is that, since it's a hormone, if you take a lot of it on a regular basis it could leat to atrophy of the pineal gland which is naturaly producing it. I haven't found any study backing...

    Melatonin might be a bad Idea for long term. But using it less than once a month is probably the safest shit for sleeping you can find as it's an hormone you're producing all day and night long. It's possibly an issue if you take it for months or years, daily. For someone who doesn't have a bad...

    I have a hard time believing that eating very low carbs all the time is a good idea. Until you're reaching the weight you want, or for some specific cases maybe, but the human race is definitely made to occasionnaly eat carbs, at least from fruits. I believe you gain more from diversifying...

    I had gotten quite fat a couple of years ago. Lost 40 pounds just doing Intermitent fasting and cutting carbs down. Now I've gotten used to somewhat low carbs diet(I still eat a lot of fruits, but cut down snack, bread, rice,..), and whenever I gain a few extra pounds, I just fast 3-7 days...

    I think the end of Lanx video makes sense, making a break once in a while. I've started doing it a while ago, and noticed the guy had a study backing that up. I've been kinda forcing myself to not fast in the morning a few days in a row once in a while, the study seem to imply that you need to...

    I'm doing the same , and it's indeed super easy.

    My experience with my nearly 4 year old is that you have to have a routine. My daughter knows that when I tell her "last story" or "last video" it's the last one and no crying or anything won't give her anything. She knows I won't tolerate any activity beside staying in bed (except toilets...

    My second daughter was born yesterday. Not sure if it's the experience or a different model, but it's A LOT easier this time. Barely any crying.

    I'm trying to get my daughter to play a little bit of video games (she's 3.5 y/o) but she's got little interest in it. She'll watch TV in bed before sleeping, but beside that, not much interest either. If I'm getting my phone out of my pocket while playing with her, she'll ask me to put it...

    Probably not the best time, but skiing in the alps is probably worth the trip at least occasionnaly for anyone who like skiing.

    I was told the same thing by a friend, drowsiness in the morning. Doesn't happen to me, at all. That's probably why it's worth trying, the worst it can be is that you'll have some nightmares and that drowsiness, and I guess you'll try something else, but if it's working, it might avoid you using...

    Melatonine works decently for me, doesn't work, for me, multiples days in row, but it's a decent wildcard once a week or so, failing asleep in 15 minutes instead of 1+ hour. I was really surprised at how efficient it is, for something seemingly very safe (1mg). Out of everything that I have...

    All the studies show that it reduces the viral load significantly faster, we don't know yet if the outcome are better. At worst, it just makes you less contagious and you recover faster, but it doesn't help if you were going to need ICU/die.
