proud of myself for finding time to still read :)

i want to buy this book; so many interesting things that i want to annotate / remember

standout topics:
-evolution of sleep, poses question of why sleep evolved but also why (when considering all the benefits sleep offers) species even wake us at all

-REM sleep has evolved independently multiple times, (like eyes) implying it's importance

-when sleep deprived, species seek nrem first then rem in subsequent days

easing back into reading / audiobooking

apparently being a morning person / night owl has a genetic component !! so its not JUST bc of my poor choices i'm fighting my predisposition to sleep later but get punished by societal work culture starting early🥀

also its easier to recover from jetlag when travelling westward vs eastward bc our circadian rhythm is tech longer than a day

im scared to learn more about how im (not so slowly) killing myself via sleep deprivation

after 2 years i'm reading this again

microbiome can affect our thoughts / mental illness ??? / cravings ????
