My Storyworth question was about inventions: what influenced my life the most? So many came to mind( cars, electricity, language, typing, internet, tv, stove, etc., etc., etc.). While thinking about this subject for today's post, I wondered if I am an invention. I suppose I can be considered to be one. As I understand it, my parents took action that resulted in me existing. Had they not taken that action, I wouldn't.
Yes, I have been influenced by me very much.
Every now and then, I come across an article about sleeping and waking. Usually, it is aimed at getting enough sleep of helpful, healthy quality. Some of the articles have mentioned the difference between having electric lighting available and not having it. I gather that adult humans cannot normally sleep for 12 hours. Before the availability of electric lights, darkness took too many hours for sleeping so people slept in two periods. Between the first and second sleeps, they worked on correspondence, and other tasks they could.
