Maybe the grownups weren’t lying. I tend to like the kids who greet better than those who don’t. I can’t believe I’m actually saying this 😂

Can I see what you wore to the last wedding you attended?

i know you don’t know why things peak at night; why sicknesses get worse at night, why people mostly die at night, you get more hungry at midnight, depression hits more at midnight etc

i’ll explain the science behind that now so pay attention and walk with me

your body runs on an internal clock called the circadian rhythm, a 24 hr biological system controlled by the brain that regulates body temperature, hormones, hunger, mood, immunity and alertness. at night, the body shifts into recovery mode. cortisol, a hormone that helps reduce inflammation and pain, drops to its lowest levels, which is why pain, fever, coughing and asthma symptoms feel worse after dark.

the illness itself may not be getting worse but your body’s ability to suppress discomfort is reduced.

this is also one reason serious medical events and deaths are more common at night as heart rate, blood pressure and overall alertness naturally decline while the body focuses on maintenance and repair.

nighttime also changes the way we think and feel. hunger tends to increase because leptin (the fullness hormone) falls while ghrelin (the hunger hormone) rises making cravings stronger. then mentally, the absence of noise, work and social interaction leaves the mind alone with its thoughts. serotonin and dopamine levels are lower, melatonin rises and the brain becomes more reflective, emotional and vulnerable. this is why anxiety, loneliness, overthinking, painful memories and even heartbreak often feel more intense at night. with fewer external distractions, the brain amplifies internal sensations, making pain feel louder, thoughts feel heavier and emotions feel deeper.

it’s why many doctors and psychologists advise against making major life decisions late at night, when the brain is more emotionally biased and naturally more pessimistic. learn something. 👍

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

Okay, so I've been trying to drop my phone, but I'm always back to it in a few minutes, so I decided to read up on what's actually going on
Turns out it's called dopamine hijacking, and every app we use is doing it to us right now

Let me explain what I found

If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realize that everything always works out. You survived what once felt impossible, not by accident, but by design. There’s a divine rhythm behind the chaos, a wisdom guiding the unfolding. So breathe. Trust where you are.

A Palindrome is a word that reads the same forward and backwards. E.g Madam, Level, Radar.

An Emordnilap is a word that forms a different valid word when spelled backward. E.g, Stressed (Desserts) Evil(Live)

Palindrome spelt backwards is…

There you have it 🤭

@Airtel_Zambia I need to know how I went from 367mins at 12:52hrs to no minutes this morning yet I’ve got two SoChe packs, one expiring tomorrow and another on 17th Dec,2025. Call centre agents need to “check with an engineer” & said “packs are from K2, just buy another 1”. 🤦🏽‍♀️
