So it's a super moving target, which again, obnoxious.

And so you're really challenged to figure out what is it that I need now.

And then to make things even more exciting is that oversleeping and undersleeping lead to the same problems.

That seems like a serious design flaw.

Like, am I right?

Anybody who's ever tried to take care of a plant is the same thing, right?

If you overwater a plant and underwater a plant, they do the same thing.

That is very useless feedback to me, right?

This is why I kill a lot of plants.

because I just don't understand what they're asking from me.

And so a lot of times what happens is for whatever reasons we become sleep deprived, whether that's because life shows up or there's a cricket in the wall or whatever it is that's going on for us, right?

We just get some crappy sleep and then we're like, okay, I'm gonna make it up on the weekend, right?

I'm gonna sleep 14 hours after three days of binging a show, whatever.

Um, and then I wake up after 14 hours and I feel like I still got hit by a bus and I think, oh, I'm not caught up.

I obviously need to sleep more.

And so maybe we immediately fall back asleep.

Maybe we get up, move around, but we feel so sluggish and lethargic all day that we kind of feel like we never really wake up.

So doesn't necessarily mean you didn't get enough sleep, right?

So that's cool.

So trying to figure out sleep is incredibly challenging.
