It's absolutely true that a lot of modern-day problems with being tired come from bad sleep habits. What I'm talking about is a real phenomenon that isn't being in front of a screen too close to bedtime. If anyone wants to know more, here's a 3-minute video from AsapSCIENCE about what research shows.
Thanks. I at hope some people at LEAST get it through their heads that you shouldn't think of the ancient cubit as "big dumb king made people use his body measurements, because he had a big dumb ego."
As I said, it's LITERALLY the actual opposite of that. Royal cubits were the first standardized measurement, and they brought probably 90 percent of the overall benefits that the later metric/SI system would bring, thousands of years later.
Look I'm gonna be honest, I had zero opinions on cubits prior to seeing your post, mostly because I was unaware of their existence. Just based on your incredible passion alone, I guess I'll think back on them fondly now, as a huge milestone for human civilization.
