120
I sometimes can't sleep at night. Perhaps my brain's "CMOS Chip" battery ran out and my circadian rhythm defaulted to my "factory settings" of Beijing Time (UTC +8), which would explain my insomnia. (sh.itjust.works)

Context: My "hardware" was "made in China" (I was born in China)

Okay sorry stupid joke, but I remember having a conversation about global manufacturing and how everything is "made in China" then my mom was like: "You are also made in China" lmfao

(But seriously tho, it's just depression, can't sleep, hence this showerthought)

I still remember when I first got here, I remember the jetlag. It's almost exactly 12 hours apart, literally just flipping day and night. I remember my brain getting so confused the first couple weeks.

Cut the lights in the evening. Use dimmer, warmer ones. No screens. Give yourself 30 minutes of darkness before going to bed. Buy good curtains/blinds. As a last resort, take melatonin.
