It is 4am and here I am after waking up and having trouble sleeping.

Serendipity, since I am reading this article now?

I am going to give this a try - the narrowing down of any challenge to its prime implicant makes a great deal of sense.

The "buy a blank PDF" part of that site made me chuckle. I wonder what accounting reasons there would be to do that rather than just ask for a tip, or if he did it simply for the humor.

But what if you have restless leg syndrome?

Isn’t that just a symptom of ADHD? I would say the advice still holds. Movement is just to stimulate your mind to retain focus, but in this case we don’t want stimulation, so you’ll still be able to (with will power) remain still in bed.

Soliciting donations without a permit is potentially illegal in my country, so selling a worthless item might be a better way to go about it. Might be something like that.

It seems for my wife it may have been low iron, second-hand anecdotal reports on low-iron forums only is my basis, sorry.

No, it’s not (see e.g. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/restless-legs-syndrome/).

It’s indeed difficult to lie still when you have RLS, but general sleep hygiene helps with it.

Very similar to “chop wood, carry water”

Seems like I’m seeing a cultural shift happening in the last few months to people re/discovering zen-stoicism-minimalism

Probably the cyclical nature of trends
