how they work...

Well I haven't really used the feature that much but groups are pretty much your replacement for categories. You can make groups for some sort of topic. Let's say "Babies". If you create it you are the owner and can manage the group and it's settings. You can make it so anyone can join or so only people you approve can join. You can then decide if anyone can add posts to the group or if only members of the group can add posts. You basically just use a group as a collection of posts of a certain topic. There's probably a more in depth explanation in the help section.

Right, right. There's nothing more trustworthy than slowly shifting eyes.

Babies are born with seven fingers on each hand, society forces them to lose those three extra fingers before they are accepted into the adult world.

I feel like I should stop making these self-pitying comments at every opportunity.

You seem to know what's best for yourself. If only you listened to yourself as well...

What if I had made a comment about the pressures I felt when I was awake at night as a baby? Would that have been better?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

probably

I thought that being in the dark set off a reaction where your hypothalamus (I think that's the gland) produced a hormone that made you fall asleep. I remember reading or learning something about the brightness in the room having an effect. We're naturally sleepy in the dark. Did society force owls to be nocturnal instead of diurnal?

Our brain produces melatonin when we are surrounded by darkness because it has the same effect as nighttime. It is just a joke.

Ha it's fine I made this post at like 3 in the morning. I totally know where you are coming from. This post was mostly commenting on how babies stay awake all night crying but then gradually manage to slip into a regular sleeping pattern.

While I agree that our sleeping patterns are strongly influenced by society, I'm not sure if human beings even have a natural sleeping pattern.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I read somewhere that there was an experiment where they put people in a room with no windows and no clocks, so they couldn't tell the time. Those people naturally developed a 25 hour day. That's not a sleeping pattern, per se. More of a biorhythm.

That's interesting, but there are so many different variables with it - the main oen I can think of being that if they were living together, and one started waking and sleeping a certain way, eventually they would all fall into the same rhythm. I reckon if you had one 'mole' in there, who started sleeping 2, awake for 4 hours, sleeping 2 hours, awake for 4, etc., the rest would follow.
