I just know the cycle you wake up in is very important.
Yeah, and the cycle depends on when you fall asleep, and what happens during the night. So even if you could set an alarm, it would rarely be right. And if you have to wake up to an alarm rather than naturally, doesn't that imply that your body knew that it was not ready?

I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.
For most this means going to bed earlier an earlier until you wake up naturally at the desired time.I find this true for myself. If I go to be around 10 PM, I will naturally wake about 5:50 am, give or take 10 mins.
I don't think that is true.
I just know the cycle you wake up in is very important.
You think alarms give you better sleep than nature?
Depends on sleep patterns.
You can be trained to wake up in the right cycle.

Note that a San Diego, California based company, ResMed purchased Zeo's intellectual property. Sadly, ResMed produces another of the cannot possibly (and doesn't) work bedside sleep monitors, the S+. It bathes the sleeper in microwave radiation and uses the Doppler-shift in reflected microwaves to detect upper body motion and respiration. Aside from bathing its user in microwaves, which seems somewhat contradictory to health-promoting, and having no idea what's going on inside the sleeper's brain, thus being more wrong than right, it is confused by anyone else who might be sharing the same bed. No thanks.
So...who wants to be cooked while they sleep?
I could use a base tan
Laura is so unbelievably afraid of radiation it's almost a phobia so that's a no go anyway
I used to work in the nuclear medical waste area of a hospital and in our training we learned that Americans do so much to shield themselves from radiation that it's become a health problem. Most Americans don't get a proper amount of radiation for maximum health.
Speaking to the choir on that one, at least around here. I wish I could remember the name of that movie about nuclear power. A banana has more natural radiation than a generation plant releases in a year. And a beach in Brazil has a natural level of around 12. It's very sad that we don't have a clue of where the point is that your health starts to deteriorate.

@StrongBad Morning! Idk why but I've been very tired lately. Same amount of sleep that I normally get.
Just because your sleeping the same amount of time, doesn't mean your body is getting the same type of sleep you need. I found a Zeo band on ebay about a year back, sadly the things aren't produced anymore. Great info on your sleep patterns. https://www.grc.com/zeo.htm
Hrm. That is a good idea. I should really analyze that and try to find a solution.
There is a lot of research about what sleep cycle to wake up in. It the same concept that says a 15-20 minute nap will actually leave you more refreshed than longer ones. (Unless they fall back into the same sleep cycle.)
The only real way to get good sleep is to go to bed and get up around the same time. Set your alarm, see how you feel, and start working backwards (or forwards) until you feel freshed.
For me, it's not possible, but a lot of people swear by it.
I've heard that you shouldn't need an alarm. You'll wake up when you've had enough sleep, when not sleep deprived.

That's how I am. Only use alarms when catching a flight or something.
This is definitely easier when your schedule is nearly infinitely flexible.

Was skin cancer a huge problem pre 1980's?

Yes it was. Farmers were heavily affected. People didn't tan like they do today, that's the bigger issue causing it today.

It must be genetic... Cause my family in generations past were farmers as well. Nobody died of skin cancer.

Depends on the kind of farming, the physical region, if they had hair, if they wore hats, etc.

Farmers used to be subject to skin cancer, even long ago. Today farmers know to wear hats, though. And SPF50 and that kind of stuff. So they aren't subject to it like they were 100 yeas ago.
But now, instead, teenage girls subject themselves to even worse radiation intentionally and that is a much bigger problem. So overall, the issue of skin cancer is on the rise. But the shift from accidental to intentional is important.

Meaning, you as a person concerned with skin cancer, are at very low risk today because you know what to do. Even though in society the incidence of skin cancer is on the rise.

Is it still on the rise? Even with all the ads everywhere today? Just wondering?
As for the farmers - OK sure, farmers where subject to skin cancer due to the nature of their job, but what about the rest of society? In general, first world nations have been indoors for a long while - discounting those few who work outdoors, how far back do we have to go to find when skin cancer was a real issue? OR, did life longevity play a factor before skin cancer did back then, say, pre 1900?

More the short longevity, but I'd think both would have been an issue.
