心情紓解區

Malaysia is so hot. Taking it easy today on our outing.

Being **tired** and feeling **sleepy** are two different sensations that are often confused. **Tired (Fatigue)** Primarily refers to the depletion of physical or mental energy. Symptoms include muscle soreness, feeling mentally foggy, and a lack of motivation. This can stem from prolonged work, exercise, stress, or illness. One can be very tired yet still awake, and even have trouble falling asleep (e.g., tossing and turning in bed after working overtime). **Sleepy (Drowsiness)** This is an increased need for sleep driven by the brain. It manifests as heavy eyelids, frequent yawning, decreased attention span, and a tendency to doze off. It's driven by sleep pressure (which builds the longer you're awake) and circadian rhythms. Even if your body isn't particularly tired, you'll feel sleepy at night or during nap times. Simple Comparison: - Tiredness is like 'the fuel tank is empty' – it requires rest and recovery. - Sleepiness is like 'the system prompts you to shut down' – it requires actual sleep. These two often occur together but are not always linked. When you're tired but not sleepy, moderate activity or relaxation might be more effective than forcing yourself to sleep. Conversely, when you're sleepy but not particularly tired, you should prioritize going to bed.

Two of my comments got locked recently, but I didn't say anything weird, so I really don't get what the standard is. I saw someone conclude that: 'Thanks for sharing (won't get locked)' So should I just spam 'Thanks for sharing' then? (lol)

Malaysia, here I come!

Occasionally rocking a pleated skirt to look younger

The 8 AM class was canceled because the professor took leave, so the next class will be at 10 AM 👍🏻 Time to play games

I'm going to ride the bus around Taipei/New Taipei City~~~

I always have trouble sleeping at night. My body is tired, but my mind just won't shut off. I toss and turn, watching the time tick by, and then I wake up feeling especially exhausted the next day. Sometimes, it's not that we don't want to sleep, but because we have too many things weighing on our minds. Don't force yourself to fall asleep right away. Relax a bit, use your phone less, and quiet your mind. Maybe tonight you'll sleep a little better than yesterday. 🌙

Wonder if this new lucky draw will be easy to win?

It's just a company trip, and I'm a bit worried about leaving my three kids behind, but going abroad is exciting after all. Two more days until we leave!
