from Jonas Hietala [alt+shift+b] in technology

Do blue-blocking glasses improve sleep?

from DYNOMIGHT [alt+shift+b] in life

3rd Jul 2025
Back in 2017, everyone went crazy about these things: The theory was that perhaps the pineal gland isn’t the principal seat of the soul after all. Maybe what it does is spit out melatonin to make you sleepy. But it only does that when it’s dark, and you spend your nights in...

When you experience someone else’s genius work, a little part of you feels, “That’s what I could have, would have, and should have done!” They fought the resistance. You gave in to distractions. They took the time. You meant to. You could let that part of you give...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
