For me it’s time signatures in music. I grew up playing instruments, played in several orchestras, etc. But no matter how many times someone tries to explain time signatures to me, it makes no sense. I don’t understand why people place such importance on it. To me, notes have a pitch and a duration, maybe some dynamics. That’s it. I don’t understand why people try to needlessly complicate it. It doesn’t give you anything.
My wife will hear a song and go “Oh neat, it’s in 5/8.” And I’m like “How tf do you know that, and why does it matter?”
I’ve always had shit sleep patterns, insomnia as far back as kindergarten. I did eventually get a sleep study done and shocker I have sleep apnea. I got a CPAP and the doc pumped it up so hard. I had facial hair so finding a mask that fits wasn’t easy. Also, I’m a side/stomach sleeper, and if I’m on my back in bed I’ll be side awake for hours. So I tried the CPAP for a couple months.
It still woke me up at 2-3 am every single night, and I had dreams about suffocating. Never used it again
If I’m being honest, I definitely sleep better with the CPAP. But that mask is so fucking annoying I’ve given up on it. Blasts of air in my eyes at 2 am or waking up with the salty bottom of the mask in my mouth… I just couldn’t do it anymore.
