| Hi, I just ran into this situation again not too long ago watching tv, I didn't have subtitles set to on, but because the dialogue in the beginning of the episode was in a different language, I was getting the translated words on the screen. Most of the time I'd say I can do fine without subtitles w... |

I don't have a fitbit but an Apple Watch. I think I tracked my sleep some time ago with it although I can't
recall fully. |

| I was just thinking not long ago about this and possibly something that may be a contributor to my sleep difficulties. I find it very difficult to eat when I'm not hungry. Most of the time I usually don't eat until right before going to sleep. I usually follow a ritual I guess you could say of eatin... |

| * Sleep research has generally shown that as individual’s age, their sleep patterns change. Sleep time decreases. I am 70 years old and an average person at that age is in REM sleep for 74 minutes per night. My average is around 85.1 minutes of REM sleep, which is a little higher than the norm. It'... |

| I started another topic the other day about anxiety. I'd say transitions adds to my anxiety as well, no matter if the transition is good or bad. I often find myself procrastinating the engaging of things. Getting interrupted drives me crazy as well, such as when people come into the room unexpected ... |

| I go through 10-more hours of sleep here and can easily sleep through things such as an alarm and someone calling me without any memory of them happening. After waking up, during daylight hours I will often feel exhausted as if I received no sleep whatsoever, then as the sun sets the tired feeling s... |

| Thanks Trogluddite, nice to be able to talk with someone who understands what I'm saying there. Although I find communicating online a bit easier than in person, like online chat, I've been using IRC since the late 90s, I guess forums/email/etc more anxiety driven as it seems more formal than chat. ... |

| Anyone else get anxiety that just appears without any reason? I've been trying to make sense of it. Recently from what I can recall, it happens during times of thinking. Not thinking about anything specifically or a fear about something related to the thought, but more my head gets full of so many d... |

| Going by what Magna stated I do the same with the saying I'm fine/ok hoping that will satisfy their question. A lot of the time the closest I can come with is I am in the middle, neither good nor bad, perhaps adequate. Other times I may be feeling anxious and don't know what to say more than "a... |

Over the years I've studied psychology and that helps on a logical perspective as to the other person in things they mi... |

| When someone is talking to me directly there are some emotions I can pick up. Anger, by what they're saying, perhaps a facial expression or tone of voice. Depression as well. A bit of this from studying psychology. I tend to share pictures I've found online that I find funny and usually I get laughs... |
