It’s been 29 years since I sat in Hawaii and read Siddhartha for the first time as a 15-year-old. The wheel turns, and the touchstones of life are constants. #booksky #siddhartha #hawaii

If you think there’s a doctor shortage now, wait 10 years. There are consequences to these decisions that will kill people.

We love travel and our children (5 and 2) are killing it on this flight to Hawaii—and it’s giving me such hope and joy for future adventures with them. @josephpmathews.bsky.social

It’s not unreasonable to expect someone to be competent. This may require personal attributes, education and training, and resources. The parade of political nominees at the national level seem to defy this expectation.

Honestly, it’s fairly easy to identify which patient is likely to no show. Why don’t health care systems put resources in place to address those patients at risk of missing their visit? Transportation assistance, direct communication, and personal attention would be huge.

How much of my professional time is spent arguing with someone experiencing insomnia that they can’t sleep 12 hours, though they spend that much time in bed, and yet they prove I’m right every single night? #insomnia #sleep #CBTI

What a happy irony to have a dream of reading and studying Marcel Proust when I’ve never done such a thing! 😆 The unconscious mind is truly a mysterious (and mostly random) thing. #sleep #REM #proustian #psychology #proust

The Simpsons Tapped Out app went away today. I’ve played for more than a decade. Its basic game mechanics were recycled hundreds of times, and I almost never read the story text that advanced the play, but it was still a little levity in my day and I’ll miss it. #Simpsons #TappedOut

Does anyone else find it daunting to start a new social media existence? When one platform goes down (I can think of 3 that are in various states of current or imminent failure), it's difficult to move on to the next. The spent social capital feels wasted when the reset button is hit.

The average adult 65 and older needs 7-8 hours of sleep. If they spend more time in bed, they will likely experience insomnia. The solution can be reducing the time in bed to match their sleep need. #sleep #insomnia #sleepneeds #retirement #CBTI
