Just 200 mg of caffeine (one large cup of coffee) within 3 hours of bedtime disrupts sleep by shifting your brain into a more chaotic, wake-like state.
Key findings from new research:
Non-REM sleep:
• ↑ Brain complexity and criticality (chaotic, wake-like patterns)
• ↓ Deep restorative delta and theta waves
• ↑ Alert-state beta waves
REM sleep:
• Weaker effects, mostly in visual brain regions
• Younger adults (20–27) experience greater disruption than middle-aged adults (41–58), likely due to higher adenosine receptor density
Bottom line: Even if you sleep through the night, late caffeine reduces sleep quality, impairing memory consolidation and brain restoration.
For better sleep quality, enjoy caffeine earlier in the day.

I feel physically ill. How are images of journalists being burned alive not top story on every newssite? This is after we watched the execution of paramedics. How many more war crimes do we need to witness? Or have we accepted our institutions & their so-called values are a lie?

RIP young one.
Not even two years old.
Untenable was forced onto the Dubbo racetrack, where he suffered catastrophic broken legs.
His injuries were so severe that he never left the track alive ...
Untenable is the 10th greyhound to die on a NSW track this year ...

This is the hidden suffering of pigs trapped in factory farms, one of the most abused animals in the Australian animal agricultural industry ...
The system is failing them.
We need an Independent Office of Animal Protection!

"In this photo, we are witnessing one of the last moments in this greyhound's life before it was euthanised.
The main reason for the euthanasia of young & healthy greyhounds in Australia is overbreeding" ...

"Many of us enjoyed the #MillionPawsWalk yesterday.
Almost 90,000 dogs are registered in ACT.
That's 90,000 animals that we peacefully co-exist with most of the time.
Even if we believe @actgovernment claim that there are 30,000 kangaroos in Canberra's nature reserves ...

If everyone saw farm animals up close like this, there would be WAY more people choosing to not eat #meat. It's harder to turn a blind eye to cruelty when you've looked into their eyes. Don't you agree? 🧡

How terrified must you be that you're willing to jump off a moving vehicle like this? This is the world that farm animals experience. Please RT. 💔
