I made a video for tomorrow's 10-year Stardew Valley Anniversary, it will "premiere" tomorrow at 11am PST.
In the video, I comment on some pre-release footage, and reveal the 2 new 1.7 marriage candidates at the end.
See you in the chat

This is one of the most important studies in sleep science.

Van Dongen et al. ran the experiment that changed how we understand chronic sleep restriction. They had subjects sleep 4h, 6h, or 8h nightly for 14 days, testing cognitive performance every 2 hours.

The 6h group’s reaction time deficits by day 14 matched subjects who had been awake for 24 hours straight. The 4h group? They performed like someone awake 48 hours.

But here’s what makes this study terrifying.

The Stanford Sleepiness Scale ratings in Panel B plateau after day 3-4. Subjects stopped feeling more tired even as their cognitive performance continued deteriorating through day 14. Your subjective experience of fatigue is a lagging indicator that eventually just… stops updating.

This explains why chronic undersleeping feels sustainable. You’ve adapted to feeling tired. Your prefrontal cortex hasn’t adapted to being impaired.

The PVT (Psychomotor Vigilance Task) in Panel A measures lapses in attention. These are the moments where you’re staring at a screen and your brain simply checks out for 500ms. Every additional day of 6h sleep adds more lapses. The curve never flattens.

Panel C and D show working memory and processing speed. Same pattern: continuous degradation with no subjective awareness.

The practical implications:

If you’re sleeping 6h and think you’re functioning fine, you’ve lost the internal calibration to know you’re not. The subjects in this study would have told you they felt “okay” while performing like they’d pulled an all-nighter.

For anyone doing cognitively demanding work, this means you cannot trust how you feel. You need to track objective markers: error rates, decision latency, problem-solving throughput.

Sleep need is biological, not negotiable. Most adults require 7-9 hours, and the research shows no population-level adaptation to chronic restriction. “I only need 6 hours” is almost always “I’ve forgotten what baseline cognition feels like.“

Durante su mandato, Rajoy incrementó la deuda pública respecto al PIB un 40%.

Sánchez la ha incrementado un 6,5%.

¿Y tú, Feijóo? Porque también tienes experiencia. ¡Triplicaste la deuda de Galicia!

Un año mintiéndole a los valencianos y ocultando información, echando balones fuera e ignorando a las víctimas. Y ahora él es la víctima. Solo dimite hoy porque en unas horas testifica la del Ventorro. Ni olvido ni perdón.

I ara, a la presó, fill de la gran puta.

Mazón se pasó 4 horas con una persona en el reservado de un restaurante que además dispone de habitaciones privadas, con el móvil apagado, cambiándose de ropa después y dando distintas versiones contradictorias sobre lo que hizo. No sé, si queréis os hago un dibujito.
