Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Allegedly Detected When Teen Girls Deleted Selfies So It Could Serve Them Beauty AdsEnglish4·5 days agoAnother reason I’ll never use Facebook. It’s been a hellsite for a long time
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto Ask Science@lemmy.world•How are there cases of people deliberately staying awake for so long they died? Wouldn't you just automatically pass out and sleep long before you got to that point?English4·5 days agoIf these waste products are CNS depressants, wouldn’t they cause you to pass out and sleep (similar to how people often pass out and sleep a couple hours after taking an ambien, for instance. Ambien is also a CNS depressant) before death happens?
Sort of like how your body prevents you from dying from holding your own breath by forcing you to breathe again once passed out.
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible that some people have deliberately stayed awake for so long they died? Doesn't the brain have a failsafe to force you to sleep before you die of sleep deprivation?English14·6 days agoYeah that’s what I don’t get. After 3 days you can barely think straight. I don’t know how the guy in China deliberately went 11 days without any sleep at all to watch a football game. It sounds similar to holding your breath until you die. He didn’t have fatal insomnia so I don’t get why he didn’t just automatically pass out before he died and slept.

Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeOPto ME/CFS@lemmy.blahaj.zone•For those with bad brain fog, what helped you?English1·6 days agoIt can be frustrating when the world is a lot less accepting. I wish people wouldn’t judge so much.
I wish I knew about pacing sooner. I was under therapy for CFS/ME through telephone sessions and they really helped me especially with pacing. I still have fatigue but I’ve been better at being able to manage it and realise my limits.
Talonflame (she/her)@lemmy.cafeto Chronic Illness@lemmy.world•Is there any way to get ableists to just google 'hypotension'?English1·27 days agoThat’s messed up. I can feel your frustrations and I have the same thing too. My heart stopped during a tilt table test and I’ve passed out several times just from standing. I have to do so much just to maintain a low normal blood pressure.
