  • My understanding is that rossman actually isnt involved anymore, but I haven’t followed things very closely. Someone brought up him no longer being involved last time folks were discussing issues with futo here on lemmy.

    I switched back to heliboard because of the issues 🤷🏻‍♂️





  • If you live in a state where she can see you as a patient and time zones make sense, Meg Danforth at triangle cbt-i is by far the most capable sleep provider I have ever seen and specializes in treating insomnia, and I’ve seen a ton of sleep providers at this point (I have a circadian rhythm disorder but used to also have sleep onset insomnia). She may also be the best provider I’ve ever seen, in any speciality. Just looked up her new site (I used to see her through major hospital before she moved to her own private practice doing telehealth) and learned are only 150 cbti practitioners in the US certified by the board of behavioral sleep medicine, and she’s one of them. She’s also a grade A wonderful human.

    Sending love, I hope you find a path to sleep that sucks less

    The reason this post connects with people is that it validates a very well understood connection between aging and difficulty sleeping

    Turning around and invalidating people in response and telling people its their own fault is frankly silly. Just because you resolved your sleep/health issues by taking better care of yourself doesn’t mean everyone else struggling with sleep is just an unhealthy bum who should do better

    Aging tends to bring with it sleep problems that aren’t caused by lifestyle factors associated with poorer health, and even in cases where someones health issues are because theyre not taking good enough care of themselves, telling those people its their own fault generally overlooks socioeconomic factors- it usually amounts to blaming people for being poor, or mentally unwell

    Source: I have a severe sleep disorder and at 27, I’ve seen a multitude of sleep doctors (and am still searching for a Dr who is knowlegable enough about my condition to try and help me beyond what I’m already doing) and spent a fair chunk of my life at this point sitting across from one discussing sleep issues



  • Algorithms will occasionally turn up cool stuff but the best way is chatting with other folks who enjoy music. The algorithm of Spotify or yt music is often an easier place to find more music like what you already know you like. The more stuff you like, the more likely it is you’ll find stuff in common with other people and you can ask them for reccomendations based on what you enjoy :)

    But just hearing what other people are really into is a great way to broaden your horizons and hear a bunch of different kinds of cool stuff you wouldn’t have found otherwise. I sometimes also like to look up the music that folks show in c/unixporn screenshots or that people mention in YouTube videos :) (oh, and sometimes you’ll hear something good as part of the music for a video, movie scoring, etc, thats always cool too)
