I've been experimenting a bit with the "genius sleep" pattern

sleep in short bursts...several times per day

always wanted to try it

I've never heard of that - what're the benefits?

well I think Leonardo di Vinci was an early promoter. called polyphasic sleep. some theories it promoted thinking ability/creativity

I was reading about Tesla once and he took regular naps

and then read about Di Vinci

I think Thomas Edison too but not 100% sure

I'm a scientist at heart so. whenever I can actually test things I hear about.

I give it a go

almost certainly it's not healthy 🙂

certainly not so natural

oh! I knew someone in another server who swears by polyphasic sleep.

is he still alive?

lol I don't know, it's been a few months...

lol

well thats........comforting

😬

ah, I'm sure you'll be fine!

well...if you guys don't hear from for a few days.....call the cops

lol

I could literally die in my flat and nobody would know for months

the flats here are literally hermetically sealed

the Swiss do value quiet

oh wow, really?

it is mandatory that you vent your flat every day. twice in fact I think

does anyone ever suffocate in their flat??

yeah windows/doors are super high quality, double pane, perfect seals

I haven't heard of it. but I did have a neighbor that died and wasn't discovered for over 3 weeks

yikes

but thats also due to the fact that people aren't so.....close here

In my last flat we had 8 tenants in the building. Never met a single one 🙂

over 3years

didn't know anyone's name

I bet that behavior's probably true for most places.

it's weird here

the analogy we were taught in "cultural awarenes training" when I moved here was... Americans are like peaches. swiss are like coconuts

The earth is a cube. Minecraft taught me this.

well it could be actually! we only know the surface is flat

no clue about the rest so...I cannot argue against a cube at the moment 😂

but my personal hypothesis is that we are the flat spot on the magic 8 ball
