So @yorklibdems - do you consider my #disability and inability to push myself into the centre of town a “privilege”? Or are you, like me, disgusted by these comments from one of your councillors?

@BootstrapCook When the @DWP talk about UC they ignore the sick/disabled people who are unable to work. ESA Support Group have been totally overlooked in the cost of living crisis. Disabled ppl often need to spend more on fuel. £140/50 grant isn't enough. ESA=£2.97/38hr= food/fuel poverty 😡
Perhaps today is the day to read the disability benefits report - get all your swearing done in one day! committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/…

Why can you fall asleep in a chair but suffer insomnia when you're in bed? Let's assume a baseline level of fatigue in both cases. As in, you *are* tired, physically & mentally, and do need sleep. Why fall asleep where you're not 'meant' to, but struggle to where you 'are'? /2
Well, to fall asleep, our brain needs to not be stimulated, preoccupied with an important task. This allows the process of 'shutting down' the conscious areas to occur. Like closing a road before the workmen start ninds.nih.gov/health-informa…. /3
This is why we can overrule sleep, even when extremely tired. If our brain recognises something as more important than sleeping, it stays active. Hence we can keep driving while tired, medics can do 36 hour shifts, and so on. /4
For the record, carrying on when you're really tired is invariably a really BAD idea. We can overrule sleep, but it's still vital for proper brain functioning, and multiple things start to go wrong without it, affecting our abilities, and more healthline.com/health/sleep-d… /5
So, our brain being preoccupied with something means it's hard to fall asleep The problem is, modern life presents us with a rich smorgasbord of 'things to be preoccupied', and those don't go away just because we go to bed. /6
It's a downside of our expanded awareness/intelligence; we can be stressed and concerned about hypotheticals and potential outcomes, or just things left unaddressed. Given nothing more pressing to do, our brains will dwell on these, as they're problems that need solving /7
While we're keeping busy during the day, our brains are largely preoccupied by what we're doing. But if we're laying down in a dark, silent room, it means there are no physical or sensory things demanding our attention. So, our brain can focus on more abstract/general issues /8
Basically, while going to bed *should* mean we fall asleep easier, if we've built up enough life issues/concerns/anxieties, it means our brain is in a situation where more resources can be redirected to these, as @HannahHillam perfectly illustrated And this stops us sleeping /9
So that's why we often struggle to fall asleep when we go to bed So why do we often pass out in a chair, in front of the tv, in the middle of the day? In such a context, the things that would usually block the going-to-sleep mechanism are preoccupied /10
Say you're sat in a chair during the day, watching/reading something for pleasure, listening to background noise of your home, your family etc It's all occupying brain space, but if you're already tired, your brain may go 'Is any of this more important than sleep? No' /11
So, enough sensory input to occupy/distract the more worrisome parts of the brain, but none of it requiring any effort, means an already fatigued brain will go 'This is a good time to sleep. Engage the shut-down systems!', and we end up snoring in front of Bargain Hunt /12
The fact that we're not *trying* to sleep in such a situation is also, paradoxically, helpful Trying to fall asleep means your brain is *more* active by dint of making a conscious effort. A more active brain = less able to sleep. It's a complex, tricky system. /13
In essence, sitting in front of the TV allows your sleep systems to sneak past the usual barriers put in place by the conscious brain, which are, annoying, often more active when we're alone in a quiet, dark room /14
As ever, the science of sleep and how complex it is can be explored more in my latest book, Emotional Ignorance. So, check it out, yeah? amazon.co.uk/Emotional-Igno… /end
@nicolane Oh dear. I’ve put it on the list! 😂🙏
@nicolane It doesn’t. But I’m working on another book that does. Lol 👍
@giovanni_ulleri I completely understand where you are coming from but I'm not sure what the answer is. If she had stepped in - eg during the first incident - then the incident might have been dealt with as a one off . There might have been no uncovering of the widespread abusive culture?
@giovanni_ulleri I don’t agree. She would have been chucked out and ignored, without enough evidence for prosecution. We need ‘mystery shoppers’ across providers. [Sadly]
@nicolane @jonathanstea Weird how I misread my own search results. Thanks for the correction.
