— Ace This would be a follow-up to that anti-semitic article from Tablet.
“High quantitative use was a central link between computer use and stress, sleep disturbances, and depression, described by the young adults,” Thomee said in the study. “It was easy to spend more time than planned at the computer (e.g., working, gaming, or chatting), and this tended to lead to time pressure, neglect of other activities and personal needs (such as social interaction, sleep, physical activity), as well as bad ergonomics, and mental overload.”The study found a correlation between stress and always being available on the phone.
“Demands for availability originated not only from work and the social network, but also from the individual’s own ambitions or desires. This resulted in disturbances when busy or resting, the feeling of never being free, and difficulties separating work and private life,” Thomee explained in the study. “Unreturned calls or messages led to overload and feelings of guilt.”
Right, I think people have a bad case of that last bit. The "I've Always Got To Be Connected To the Machine" syndrome. (Not me, though! As you can see from my dereliction of duty on weekends.)
On sleep disorder:
I find that the computer screen is inherently stimulating, whether it's the light or the pattern of eye movements when using it. I've found that I personally can't sleep for at least 90 minutes or more after I turn off the computer -- so if I want to go to sleep by 1 am, I'd better turn off the computer by 11:00 or 11:30.
Anyone else find that? When I started shifting to Kindle at night (or TV -- but TV with, get this, no multitasking on the computer), I found it wasn't as hard to fall asleep when I went to bed.

i rather think depression or anxiety might be exacerbated by reading what's actually going on.
of course i'm pretty new to the information highway. so perhaps it's just shocking to me.
maybe i should switch to a less aknowledgment of world chaos type of endeavor otherwise known as (news)
like what this years bond girl is wearing?

I'm never, ever "available" on the phone. I keep the ringer turned to silent - if they want to talk to me, they can leave me a voicemail and I'll call them back. Eventually.
--------
As of 6 months ago I refuse to text. Every now and then someone forgets, and sends me a text, and it gets completely ignored, as if it doesn't exist.

I feel no obligation to answer a phone when it rings - I screen calls with a physical answering machine all the time. If its someone I want to talk to, then I'll pick up as they're leaving a message or call them right back with some excuse about being caught in the loo or garage and not able to make it to the phone so they don't think I'm screening calls.

I'm the same way. If I'm not expecting your call...don't fucking call. I don't care how wonderful, and superliciously amazing your product or service is...if I don't approach you first, don't bother calling me.
Those who insist on breaking those simple rules are likely to spend half an hour or so discussing mortgage rates with an 18 month old baby...or until the phone's battery dies.

Yes. In fact, I find I'm pretty sensitive to light in general. After 10pm, I have to turn the lights lower if I want to get to sleep on time.
Reading helps. Unlike you with your eink Kindle, I use a backlit screen (Nook Color). The advantage is, I can read with the lights off (and the background set to black). Reading a book at night definitely helps with insomnia.

I think it maybe it has something to do with the sleep patterns you develop early in life....
I grew up reading a book, with the radio on beside my bed....and would fall asleep with the light on, radio blaring.
Later, when I had a tv in my dormroom....I'd fall asleep with that on, studying.
Since then, I still to this day, sleep better with the tv on in the bedroom.
So maybe that's why....light stimulus + reading....triggers a sleep stimulus for me.
I dunno....it's like that's what I have 'conditioned' myself for.

About a year ago I started turning off all the screens/lights 1+ hours before bedtime and listening audiobooks on my mp3 player. With it rockboxed I have set to autosleep if I dont touch any buttons for 20 minutes and it picks up where it leaves off. I have blown through sooo many wonderful books and my sleep schedule has been normal ever since. Without taking a single pill.
Also regarding eye strain, with big tv's have the light balanced behind the screen and balance it. I bought a 3 hologen light strip from home depot and put dimmable LED bulbs in it. The thing uses only 15 watts on full and the behind the screen lighting looks professional like a movie theater. This did wonders for how often I was getting migraines.

The EPA is fining the oil refinery industry $6.8 million in penalties for not blending cellulosic ethanol into gasoline, jet fuel and other products.
The reason they have not done so is that cellulosic ethanol does not exist in usable quantities.

1) Obtain ordinary ethanol from anywhere and put it in your mixes.
2) Get some clown in Brazil to certify that the ethanol you have in possession was "cellulosic" and came from their Brazilian plant.
Problem solved. Ethanol is a very simple molecule, there won't be any way to tell cellulosic from otherwise chemically.

But I know people are going to say "two white guys from the NE, can't have that"....
That's how we miss Christie and Guiliani too....

It's the blue component of the light, which is particularly strongly represented in LCD illumination that causes such decoupling of the light-dark cycle.
Specifically, there is a centralized master circadian pacemaker in a more ancient part of your brain called the superchiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that acts like a master clock for body functions, gene regulation, etc. But since biology isn't that precise, because animals are mobile and due to seasonal variations you need a way to synchronize this pacemaker with an external signal to keep the internal time mapped to the external world. The way this works is your eyes actually have some blue-light sensitive neurons (not rods and cones!) that signal when there is blue spectrum light which is what you see due to the atmospheric scattering from the rising and setting sun. So, SCN activity is then synchronized with sunrise (excitation during the bright day) and sunset (inhibited during the dark night). The SCN's output then controls melatonin production.
Especially in today's world, with LCD laptops and TVs, Ace-of-spades, the whole light synchronization thing is pretty messy. There is a HUGE difference between seasonal light levels (dark by 8pm) and artificially starring at 5K lumen LCDs with strong blue component until 2 or 3am!
Technology has decoupled us from the natural world significantly. Our subjective self, our brain, can adapt ('cultural' evolution is quick) -- but the body can not, we're stuck with the same biology.
The mind is willing, the body is not...

That makes a lot of sense. So, for those with problems, what do you suggest, how do you deal with this?

Batchelor spent a lot of time discussing this speech tonight.
Selena Zito said the crowd was really energized and a very large crowd and that he spoke with no notes or tele prompter, but off the cuff...

What Ace said: less computer, more reading a book or eink before bed. Realistically, it's f-ing hard with life and work.
I've recently heard of this program (http://stereopsis.com/flux/) that's suppose to change the tint of your monitor by time of day; haven't seen any empirical data though.
Small dosages of melatonin (1mg or less) taken an hour or so before bed have been shown to help via decoupling the increased level of artificial light from inhibiting endogenous melatonin production (mt makes us sleepy), but results are somewhat individual dependent.
Extreme cases, including some percentage of people with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), major depression or bi-polar disorder use filtered glasses before bed (http://tinyurl.com/4kqn6o5) and will use light-boxes in the morning.

thanks for this. I have a very good friend from college who is a computer engineer. He sometimes spends hours and hours inside in front of the computer. I just sent him your two posts and a link to ace's post and recommended he read everything.
The happiest person I know is getting a PHD in plants...its botany but with a high tech name. I always think he's so happy cause he spends so much time outdoors talking to his plants and caring for them. His hero is the guy who crossed and perfected the knock out rose....

This is being tweeted a lot tonight. The other night it was the article about romney being petty and not wanting palin at the convention. But this next link is also being tweeted a lot: "McCain: Sarah Palin was “better candidate” than Romney, others" http://tiny.cc/q3mmhw
Oh and the libs/dems tonight are going nuts over a report that romney paid no taxes in 2009. Which based on the return he already revealed would be patently absurd no matter how good your tax lawyers and accountants are. None the less, they think that baingate is such a big deal and the no taxes paid in 2009 is so credible that they are beside themselves with joy predicting that romney will withdraw from the race rather than show his taxes. Either way, I still don't think he should show them anything. America is watching, romney should stick to his guns. reagan only released one year, at least he's giving them two, they should be content with that and either come out with their "proof" of something wrong or felonous as they say or just be quiet.
