💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep? ― ( ACCEPTING! )

yue does not fall asleep easily, nor is she a deep sleeper. i'd even go so far as to say she has mild insomnia. she's showed patterns of this ever since she was a baby, and the healers / spiritual leaders of the nwt chalk this up to her connection with tui and the moon. they essentially told her parents that, because a part of the moon lives within her, it would make sense for her to be awake "when tui is awake." this does not stop yue from feeling fatigued, as she often feels exhausted anyway due to the chronic tiredness she still has via her sickness, but it does make her toss and turn a lot.

arnook and sedna tried, for a very long time, a lot of different strategies to try and improve yue's sleep. this included medicine, different beds and bedding, moving her bedroom around within the palace, and more. none of this made much of a difference, and so the chief and chiefess made it common practice to allot times during the day for yue to nap when it was easier for her to fall asleep without the pull of the moon.

she's developed a pattern over the years of, instead of laying there in bed trying to fall asleep, going over to sit by her window and look at the night sky instead. this makes her feel a little less restless and eventually gets her to the point where she is tired enough of keeping her eyes open to try sleeping again. there's been many mornings where her father / her chambermaids have found her asleep in the nook by her window or even out on her balcony.

very slight noises and movements can wake her up. because of this, she mostly needs silence and a little bit of moonlight [ but not too much! ] to sleep. she also snores very softly, but you didn't hear that from me!

Your Friend, Sokka

Sokka’s experiences attending Kyoshi Academy with chronic illness through his letters to his best friend Yue.

 “Then he said, “Getting to know my nephew Zuko is like making a cup of tea. You must be patient, or else your tea will be weak and you may get burned. Please trust that his heart is in the right place. I’m sure the two of you will become great friends with time.”

So yeah, I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean. Do you? Because it sounded a little ominous. ‘His heart is in the right place’ like did he murder someone?! Is Iroh trying to tell me to sleep with one eye open? Honestly, having an old man obsessed with tea deliver me cryptic warnings about his nephew is not exactly what I was expecting when I got here today, but I’m kind of here for it.”

Following healthy lifestyle may reduce risk of long COVID

“With ongoing waves of COVID-19, long COVID has created a serious public health burden. Our findings raise the possibility that adopting more healthy behaviors may reduce the risk of developing long COVID,” said Andrea Roberts, senior research scientist in the Department of Environmental Health and senior author of the study. The study appears online February 6, 2023, in JAMA Internal Medicine. It’s estimated that 8-23 million Americans suffer from long COVID, which is defined as having COVID-19 symptoms four weeks or more after initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptoms can include fatigue, fever, and a variety of respiratory, heart, neurological, and digestive symptoms. The researchers analyzed data from more than 32,000 female nurses in the Nurses’ Health Study II, who reported on lifestyle in 2015 and 2017 and reported history of SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 2020 to November 2021. During that time, more than 1,900 participants contracted COVID-19. Among these, 44% developed long COVID. Compared to women without any healthy lifestyle factors, those with five or six had 49% lower risk of long COVID. Among the six lifestyle factors, maintaining a healthy body weight and getting adequate sleep (seven to nine hours daily) were the ones most strongly associated with lower risk of long COVID. The results also showed that, even among women who developed long COVID, those with a healthier pre-infection lifestyle had 30% lower risk of having symptoms that interfered with their daily life. The authors noted that one possible explanation for the associations they observed is that, based on prior research, an unhealthy lifestyle is associated with increased risk of chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, which have been linked with increased risk of long COVID. “In the past decades, scientists have accumulated evidence that healthy lifestyle is good for overall health. However, in the U.S. for example, 70% of the population do not have a healthy body weight and 30% do not sleep enough. Findings from this study suggest that simple lifestyle changes, such as having adequate sleep, may be beneficial for the prevention of long COVID,” said lead author Siwen Wang, research fellow in the Department of Nutrition. Other Harvard Chan School authors included Yanping Li, Yiyang Yue, Changzhen Yuan, Jorge Chavarro, and Shilpa Bhupathiraju. Support for the study came from NIH NICHD grant 3R01HD094725-02S1. Other support includes grants U01HL145386, R24ES028521, U01 CA176726, R01 CA67262, and R01 HD057368 from the NIH, the Dean’s Fund for Scientific Advancement Acceleration Award from Harvard Chan School, and Massachusetts Consortium on Pathogen Readiness Evergrande COVID-19 Response Fund Award.
