You probably know someone who sleeps 7–8 hrs every night and still wakes up exhausted every morning. There's a name for it: Non-Restorative Sleep. Up to 1 in 3 adults may have it. Most have never heard the term — and most doctors can't find it on any test. 😬 #sleep#SleepScience

100% 🎯 European flax produces the highest quality flax. The better the flax, the less industrial processing is needed! Check if the European linen is processed within the EU too (most is shipped to Asia). Only 20% is truly European heritage quality. Check @moonchildsleep premium organic linen 💤
@amandaperera We dedicated our whole brand to premium organic silk. Only natural silk with minimal industrial processing guarantees all benefits of the natural fiber 🌙✨ nothing feels better than silk on bare skin 🩵
@KeruboSk 🌱 nature only! @moonchildsleep only uses organic silk and linen bedding. There’s no going back to synthetic or even the tiniest bit of synthetic blend. It’s though important to get organic fibers.
Sleep deprivation is the new smoking.
New data across 3,143 US counties (2019-2025) ranks getting <7 hours of sleep as the 3rd strongest predictor of a shorter life, trailing only smoking and obesity.
+ smoking -0.28 yrs per 1% prevalence
+ obesity -0.18 yrs per 1% prevalence
+ insufficient sleep -0.08 yrs per 1% prevalence
Study limitations:
The study's reliance on self-reported telephone data and county-level ecological regression means associations are not causal.
The lack of a "too long" sleep category (over 9 hours) likely underestimates the true effect, as long sleep is also linked to poorer health.
The study is confounded by the Covid-19 pandemic period, which temporarily altered sleep patterns, especially through lock-down periods. However, the negative association between insufficient sleep and life expectancy persisted across all years from 2019 to 2024, suggesting that the relationship is not solely driven by pandemic-specific effects.
Counterintuitive findings (e.g., higher unemployment correlating with longer life expectancy) are likely artifacts of confounding or temporary population shifts, not protective effects.
Note: these numbers assume that the study’s regression coefficients represent changes in life expectancy (in years) for each 1 percentage point change in the behavior, which is consistent with the methods but not clearly spelled out by the authors.
@TaraBull808 Not using a hypoallergenic silk pillowcases and not washing it at least weekly. We turn up to 80 times a night and transfer dirty particles, dust, sebum and bacteria 🦠 right back onto our faces.
The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:
Chronic Procrastination.
It's why you're stressed, anxious, depressed, and your immune system is in chaos.
Here's Andrew Huberman's 7-step protocol to escape the prison of procrastination: 🧵
🇺🇸 POOR SLEEP SHRINKS BRAIN AND RAISES ALZHEIMER'S RISK
New research shows that spending less time in slow wave and REM sleep is tied to brain shrinkage in regions affected early in Alzheimer’s.
Over 270 adults were tracked for 13 to 17 years.
Less deep sleep meant smaller volumes in the inferior parietal cortex—a region vital for memory.
Gawon Cho, public health researcher:
"Reduced neuroactivity during sleep may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby potentially increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease."
Even after adjusting for health and lifestyle factors, sleep remained a powerful predictor.
The study suggests improving sleep quality might help delay or reduce Alzheimer’s risk.

@realitytvbean@itsnajswrld There’s special silk and cashmere detergents for the hand wash program. Sometime less is more and steaming and airing do the job instead of a full wash. Silk and linen are naturally antibacterial.
