New research shows how some animals in the wild manage to sleep in risky environments. From thousands of 4-second “microsleeps” to half-brain naps midair, scientists can now reveal some unusual animal sleep habits.

Update to this: apparently before I finally actually slept, a combination of the way I was lying in bed + falling into continual microsleeps and then jerking awake again in pain meant I somehow made a bunch of unintentional Discord server invites--
My wife has now slept and woken up twice and I am still awake. HEY GUESS WHAT, for all those times I wondered "am I still at enough baseline pain level to need this maintenance painkiller all the time" I have a conclusive answer now and that answer is "fucking yes"
My wife has now slept twice since the last time I slept at all. we keep bemoaning we can't pool the household sleep.

microsleeps are becoming kind of an issue again lately and I think my lack of sleep is making my brain eat itself just a smidge

As a former SOWT, I can appreciate the 4-second "microsleeps" and half brain naps. I once did that for 3-months straight and without coffee!

The neat part is that BTI damage can be (partially) recovered with…sleep!
Give the transistor a break, and degradation reduces ~40% or more; the longer the better.
CPU C states create lots of tiny idle windows (microsleeps), which drastically increase the lifespan.

I might be delirious and am having microsleeps so it might not be as cool as my brain is making it out to be.

Batman doesn't sleep; he just "microsleeps" or takes 20-minute power naps whenever he can.

I know I’m exhausted because I’m pretty sure I had a couple microsleeps mid-Tekken match just now

Someday, I will figure out how to be sleepy at night and wired during the day, instead of my current arrangement, in which I have microsleeps during the day and can't fall asleep at night.

there is a certain je ne sais quois about lying in a bed and just kind of experiencing microsleeps for fun rather than going to actual sleep

These microsleeps will kill me one day, or worse, kill someone else."

He works during the microsleeps, you see
VARNEY: Do you work 18 hours a day?
MIKE JOHNSON: More. More. And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours a day.

Welp, had to end stream early because i started getting microsleeps. It was the responsible thing to do.

I was so tired at my archives appointment that I started microsleeping, and in those microsleeps, I became convinced that the baptismal entries had stories in them about families getting sucked into crypto schemes to finance immigration. In 1865.

Both end up with such bad sleeping habits that they start experiencing microsleeps. J sometimes thinking V is a hallucination and trying to fight him, which retraumatizes V. V sometimes waking up thinking J is trying to hurt him (J is alseep) and scratching and biting and hitting to try and get away

I seem to have almost stopped sleeping. Maybe I’m getting unnoticed microsleeps here and there but I think I’m down to maybe one day of actual sleep a week.
