People twitch and move around in response to noises, temperature changes or light when snoozing away. It’s not uncommon to see people twitch and move around in response to noises, temperature changes or light when snoozing away; it’s a normal part of sleep called unconscious wakefulness that most aren’t aware of or recall when the sun rises. In some cases, these sleep disruptions can cause people to feel exhausted in the morning or even lead to serious health problems if they happen consistently enough over time. Now, a new study of 8,000 people has, for the first time, found a “clear link” between the frequency and duration of these unconscious episodes and an increased risk of dying from any cause and of heart disease, especially in women. Compared to women without sleep issues, women who experience unconscious wakefulness during the night had nearly double the risk of dying from heart disease in the six to 11 years of the study’s follow-up period. Men, on the other hand, faced a risk of death from cardiovascular illness that was just more than a quarter compared to men with no sleep disruptions. The researchers say their study highlights the importance of detecting and assessing…

  |     |   Published 25.04.21, 12:49 AM Not just three-four years but the last 17-18 years have been rather challenging for Mark Zuckerberg. Basically, for the most part of his life, he has been building up Facebook. Early doubters said he wouldn’t beat Myspace. He did. Then came his company’s survival of its initial public offering. And then the live video arena and also Snapchat. Despite being punched left and right, he has survived, probably finding some comfort in the philosophy of tech guru Steve Jobs. In 1995, during an interview (a must-watch even if tech is not your comfort zone) with Robert X. Cringely for the Triumph of the Nerds TV series, he said something that still rings true: “Picasso had a saying. He said: good artists copy, great artists steal.” The quote was probably inspired by T.S. Eliot: “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.” Or was it Igor Stravinsky’s “Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal”? A more important question: Did Picasso really say that?! Zuckerberg’s latest heist involves making a Clubhouse clone that involves Live Audio Rooms and a feature…
