To Three Pointers VIPs,
At University my roommates would sometimes invade my room around 9:30 P.M.
A typical exchange would be something like:
“What are you doing dude?”
“What do you mean what am I doing?”
“Come on. Are you seriously going to sleep right now?”
“I’m naked under the covers with my kindle so yeah I’m going to sleep soon.”
No matter what they would say in these moments, my answer would usually be the same:
“Nah I’m sheets.”
I would often get clowned for going to bed early. Which I’ve always been fine with.
Call me a grampa all you want. I’m a baby the way I snooze. We tend to think of sleep as rest for the body. But the most powerful benefits of quality sleep have to do with your brain.
Everything gets better when you become extremely selfish with your sleep. If anyone calls you out for your selfishness, just respond:
“Nah I’m sheets.”
*If you struggle with sleep I feel for you. Here’s a few potentially helpful resources: this, this, this and this.*

A Language Joy
Latin was the language of the Roman empire.
Of course, it’s no longer widely spoken, but its kids are: Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and some other tongues all evolved from Latin.
How did this happen?
