Why anyone would connect a brainwave scanner to the internet and the wear for 8 hours every night it is beyond me. I've run out of sympathy. This is like slathering yourself in blood and jumping into a shark tank.
At a certain point, personal accountability for your privacy has got to enter the conversation with normal people.
I hear what you are putting out there but I can absolutely sympathize with the users. I suffer from chronic insomnia. My worst episode was when I go no more than 90 minutes of light sleep per 24 hour period for a stretch of about two months. It landed me in the hospital, on suicide watch, paranoid, and a lot more.
Once sleep gets bad for long enough, you'd try anything.
I stopped smoking weed to get a job in my late twenties and stopped sleeping more than 2 hours at a time for months.
People who get sleep just don't know how bad it gets and how low the quality of life gets.
idk how people with insomnia keep it together. ive had some stretches of being unable to get to sleep, or having a really hard time getting to sleep, or waking up really easily, and i swear after a few days of that i was ready to commit a murder. lack of sleep makes me Crazy. idk how anyone could deal with that for months. my condolences.
Weed and sleeping pills. Would have ended it otherwise.
