decent chance there's another housing crash coming up
some people above mentioned another us civil war. tensions are rising, but the us is spread apart enough to allow people to stay apart if that's their preference. i don't think the union will stay together much beyond 2040, but its breakup won't be catastrophic per se.

if i remember right, un projections of sub-saharan african population have it doubling by 2050 and quadrupling by 2100. that's a lot of new people, and they aren't all going to be peaceful with one another or want to stay there. with so many lives on the line there is a lot of potential for unthinkable unpleasantness. i think the big catastrophe of the century will have to do with this.

hung out my last remaining pal from hs a couple of years ago, then he got a gf and shut himself off from the world
i then moved away to focus on my career but ended up leaving that behind earlier this year
my facebook account has been deactivated for over a decade, i could fire that up and probably become social with some people pretty easily, but i can't imagine that would lead to anything good.

The only challenge I had on a recent long drive was not having anywhere to stop and pee for several hundred miles. Plan ahead for that.
If you can take 15 minute rest breaks that include walking around, each of those will go a long way too.

Is this a diagnosis you've received or are you just noticeably a lot more tired than the average person? In the latter case, look into obstructive sleep apnea. Ever since I learned that I have it and have been treating it, long-distance driving is a lot more manageable.

in late latin you had the masculine cattus for the domestic cat, and canis (dog) could be masculine or feminine.

i'll have to dig around to find later examples of canis in use as a generic noun with feminine adjectives, but in horace's fifth epode, the witch canidia demanded "ossa ab ore rapta ieiunae canis" (bones taken from the mouth of a hungry dog), ieiunae being feminine

sounds like you're doing better than a lot of people... keep it up and I hope you can bring up your sleep total eventually.

I was thinking that sleep apnea might be at play here--I had it for a long time despite being super skinny, and wish my frequent wakeups with elevated heart rate, sweating and dry mouth had led me to getting tested sooner. world of difference now. since dealing with it, my dreams have seemed more complex, longer, and filled with people and weird concepts, and this probably relates to getting more REM sleep.

although you didn't go into detail about them, the topics of the dreams you're remembering lately seem more likely to correspond to REM sleep. you mention keeping crazy hours--if this involves getting too little sleep on some nights, maybe you're having REM rebound on other nights, leading to longer REM cycles and weirder dreams. sleep apnea still could be something to consider, as REM sleep is where the muscles of the throat (and everywhere) are most relaxed and likely to cause you to wake up just enough to inhale, but not enough to remember, and you're more likely to consolidate memories from dreams if you're roused from them.

it's OK not to remember dreams. sometimes, remembering them can indicate some sort of sleep disorder that is preventing you from completing a sleep cycle.
do you feel as well rested as you used to? do you perceive that you are waking up more often throughout the night as you have these dreams, possibly with an elevated heart rate or the need to pee?

too warm to initiate sleep. like my body can't breath.

thankfully i don't have night sweats anymore
aha. if you were waking up like that, i was going to suggest looking into sleep apnea.

a drop in core temperature is important for sleep onset, so you might need to change something in order to facilitate it. this could be reducing the temp on the thermostat, or maybe changing the timing of your shower. a warm shower will also reduce your core temperature so no need to go wim hof.
the skin of the face, palms and soles is the most sensitive to temperature change. so, if you sleep with socks on, take them off, and consider sticking one or both of them out of your sheets.

i have a midrange internet mattress, leesa, whose cooling top layer is supposed to be pretty comfortable. [i have used it for five years and like it.] my girlfriend has a more generic memory foam mattress that i sleep all right on.
tell us about this overheating. do you find yourself too warm to initiate sleep, or is it more that you find yourself waking up warm, maybe sweating, or something?
