@anishmoonka Beta blockers lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and they naturally turn the patient's hands and feet ice cold due to weakened circulation. A common side effect of beta blockers is sleep disruption. I wonder if this is the reason.

Thanks for going down this rabbit hole ❤️ Follow @anishmoonka for daily stories across science, history, psychology, culture & AI. ————— Sources: Kräuchi 1999 Nature — “Warm feet promote the rapid onset of sleep” nature.com/articles/43366 Raymann 2005 Am J Physiol — “Cutaneous warming promotes sleep onset” (causal follow-up to Kräuchi 1999) journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11… Nishi Shiki — Wikipedia entry covering the six exercises including mōkan undō en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nishi_Shi… Katsuzō Nishi — biography with Tokyo subway role en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuz%C5… TRE Global — Dr. David Berceli’s Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises treglobal.org

Right before you fall asleep, your hands and feet get warmer. That warming is the real trigger that switches your brain into sleep mode. A 1999 Nature paper tested it against melatonin, core body temperature, heart rate, and how sleepy people felt. The hand and foot warming won. The drawing in the tweet works on this exact trigger. The pose has a name in Japan: Mōkan Undō, or "capillary exercise." Katsuzō Nishi designed it in 1927. He was the chief technical engineer on the Tokyo subway, Japan's first. It became one of six daily exercises in his system, still done in Japan today. You lie on your back, point your arms and legs straight up, and shake them for thirty seconds. While the limbs are up, gravity drains the blood from them. When you lower them, the blood floods back into your hands and feet, warming them in seconds. Your brain reads that warming as a green light to sleep. The shaking activates a separate reflex, the kind most mammals use after a scare. Dogs and rabbits shake themselves off after a fright for the same reason. Dr. David Berceli, a trauma therapist, built a whole method around it, with certified instructors now in 40 countries. The shaking flips your nervous system out of "I'm wired" mode and into "I'm safe to sleep" mode. Nishi got the biology wrong. He believed capillaries, the tiny blood vessels at the ends of your veins, did the pumping. William Harvey, an English doctor, had shown the heart did the work, three centuries earlier, in 1628. The exercise still works, for entirely different reasons than Nishi thought. The drained limbs come back warm. The body reads that as a sleep cue, and the shaking calms the nervous system on top of it. A drawing on X with millions of views just rediscovered a 100-year-old Japanese sleep exercise. A subway engineer designed it first, decades before sleep scientists figured out why it would work.

@ProtonInspector I grew up in dorm rooms for 5 in middle school and highschool. Rooms for 8, 10, 50(!) in university. And finally a room for 100 in military service! No wonder I don't enjoy crowds much now.

Still find it crazy that Americans have shared dorm rooms at all

@wormymcwormersn It's not because of attraction; it's a distraction. If it's open, your eyes go there inadvertently. An ugly grandpa's open crack has the same effect. Don't flatter yourself.

fyi women are highly aware when you look at our breasts

@RealPostFolder None of my friends from poor or unsupportive families accomplish anything. They were grinded to pieces trying to stay afloat and didn't have the luxury to plan, invest further. And none of my friends from wealthy, supportive families had such problems, smart or not.

'Spreading his wings' philosophy is bullshit. This is something lazy parents do to get rid of their kids. Parents should get that children are a lifelong commitment and investment, not something to be disregarded after 18 years. When I was a teenager, I had a friend whose parents did this to him after college freshman year. Communication and all financial aid were cut off, saying that "it was for his own good." 2 years later, the most hardworking and brilliant person I knew, is working as a delivery guy just to make ends meet. He lived in a crappy basement in an old house belonging to a hag in the worst part of the town. This was a guy who topped in his class and voted most likely to become successful. If you want your son to have a good life, help him

@theonlytruecel Irritating voice/talk a la Janice?

what is the female equivalent of being short as a male? if you say being fat or skinny im going to put you in solitary confinement for the rest of your life because not weighing enough or weighing too much can be fixed fairly simply, never said easily just simply.

@Justintohoops Also, why is he adorned like a pharaoh?

I need to know why this dude sitting courtside has not one but two pairs of Nike Mags

@AngryMike24 @Justintohoops You made me spill my coffee and burn myself man, fu! 😄

@Justintohoops He looks like one of those weirdos that pretends to be dog -> Ipso facto the second pair is for his hands -> when he walks on all four’s. Obviously he’s not going to keep the sneakers on his hands while he sits there because then he’d look stupid.

@BowTiedTamarin My theory is, they are different from previous and post generations due to being heavily indoctrinated and brainwashed on politics, religion, race, etc. by monopolised/state media. There was no such thing before and every generation coming later had internet.

Lost track of how many boomers I've met that have plenty of money, own the house, but the household situation is incredibly dysfunctional. to the point where a 1-2 hour visit is physically uncomfortable to be around them Many variations of this. spoiled kids hate them (who might still live at home at 40), live as literal hoarders, allowing insane spousal behavior, bizarre pet situations, orienting entire personality around vices

@brianluidog I feel your pain. I also wasn't well informed and almost fainted in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. I was 25 though 🥺

When I was 12, I saw Jurassic park with my parents. Then a few months later they said the Jurassic Park director had another movie and do I want to watch it? Afterwards I thought, hmm, it's important to be well informed and not only rely on brand names.

@SoulzWorld @akanksha7196 That's how it should be. Asking for a fully paid travel ticket is insane and pointless, yet they do it and insist on it.

@rantanpln @akanksha7196 I was talking about applying from Nigeria. Visa applications in Nigeria are not guaranteed so they don't expect you to purchase a fully paid ticket or hotel. Itinerary/reservation is just okay

honestly applying for a schengen visa is a humiliation ritual

@asisttime Hocam bu görseldeki sayıların ve bilgilerin hiçbiri doğru değil. Hangi AI yaptıysa güvenmeyin ona.

Bence Alperen Şengün en yakın zamanda menajer ekibini değiştirmeli. Kevin Durant mesaj olayı sonrası belli başlı hesaplar sistematik şekilde @alperennsengun u itibarsızlaştırmaya çalışıyor. Öyle bir algı oluştu ki; sanki NBA oyuncularının Alperen’le problemi varmış gibi “NBA’in en abartılan oyuncusu” bile seçildi. Oysa Alperen; tüm sezon boyunca gerçek bir birinci oyun kurucu olmadan oynadı. Geçen sezonun ikinci yarısında doğru düzgün yedek uzun/forvet rotasyonu bile yoktu. Buna rağmen takımın birçok ana istatistiğinde zirvede. Üstelik clutch performanslarında da ligin en iyilerinden biri.. Böyle bir oyuncu, bu kadar kolay itibarsızlaştırılabiliyorsa burada en büyük problem bence yeterli PR ve oyuncu iletişiminin kurulamaması. Çünkü NBA’de algıyı sadece oyun değil, anlatı da yönetiyor.

@christianeox @ArnaldoFerolez What are you saying man? Anyone attacking another person is frustrated or provoked in some way. My neighbour makes unreasonable noises despite being warned. Should I go elbow him in the face? My client didn't pay on time and I am very young: he asked for a beating? Be serious.

@ArnaldoFerolez Deberías estar abierto a otras opiniones también. Nadie justifica el codazo, pero hasta el técnico lo explicó : Wemby es un ser humano, no una máquina: quisiera verte siendo golpeado 3 partidos seguidos sin cobro arbitral. A ver como manejas la frustración teniendo 22 años

Algo que verdaderamente no entiendo de los hinchas de un equipo de NBA es la incapacidad de aceptar cuando te están ayudando, o los árbitros o directamente el pelado. Nadie te va a culpar a vos, SpursFan123, de la decisión de Silver, ¿Qué te cuesta reconocer que si el codazo lo pegaba Naz hoy estaría en el penal de Ezeiza? ¿Realmente tienen que publicar una tesis sobre por qué Wemby estaba autorizado y moralmente obligado a intentar asesinar a un rival porque le hicieron muchas faltas? El entrenador de los Spurs admitió que fue adrede. ¿Se tienen que poner a analizar la semántica para tratar de disfrazar lo obvio? Es llamativo que intenten justificar lo injustificable. Ligaron a un jugador que la gente quiere ver, Adam Silver decidió perdonarlo porque se le dio la gana y el tipo va a jugar el juego 5 sin siquiera una multa. En la serie pasada, Jokic solamente AGARRÓ a McDaniels y le gritó en la cara y le cobraron 50k. Listo, viejo, zafaron, esquivaron la bala, la NBA los cuidó, no es responsabilidad de ninguno en esta red social. ¿Tanto cuesta reconocer que la resolución es injusta?

@NoContextHumans She is scary. I would take Hannibal Lecter over this lady.

That’s actually wild

@Underdog 21 ppg and 8.3 fta? That's a good bench player.

Shai vs Ajay Mitchell this series: SGA Ajay 21.0 PPG 20.7 ❌ 2.7 REB 3.0 ✅ 5.7 AST 6.7 ✅ 8.3 FTA 4.3 ❌ 55.9 TS% 61.1 ✅ 4.0 TOV 1.0 ✅ The former 2nd round pick is playing at the MVP's level 🤯

@mstrymxer @andre_quentin Hotels and apartments really contact you on WhatsApp and ask for deposits. Impossible to tell the difference.

@andre_quentin Why would you ever believe a message through whats app is real?

Things are about to get real scary. I got a WhatsApp message about a hotel reservation I made on Booking.com. They have my correct hotel name, correct dates, correct amount, everything. They ask me to confirm my CC details, without which they'll cancel my res.

@andre_quentin What's worse is, hotels or rental agencies really contact you on whatsapp to ask for deposits before confirming your reservation out of the blue, with company names not revealed on Booking during reservation.

@LeBron__legacy I wouldn't know. I don't watch SGA on principle.

Can we all agree?

@lee_lei_lp @maiab @StayAtHomeDad0 This, my friends, is either a childless person or a sociopath.

@maiab @StayAtHomeDad0 Well at that point you have to ask yourself, “Why are other people’s 3yos able to play alone quietly for 20 minutes, but mine aren’t?”

all of the “just let your baby cry for 20 minutes so you can take a shower” are suspiciously quiet about what to do with your three year old so you can take a shower

@SoulzWorld @akanksha7196 I just received a Schengen visa that explicitly said that in the forms and it was also written on the walls of the visa center in bold that no applications would be accepted without the travel tickets. That's the London Embassy of Greece.

@rantanpln @akanksha7196 Nah.. This ain't true
