I second the Casper. I have the “essential standard” with a firm-ish core and “plush” outer layer. I’ve been through dozens of pillows, this is by far the greatest pillow invention on the planet. Somehow it stays supportive in whatever way you need it, yet cradles your head and neck in a soft pillowy kiss. I have nerve damage in my neck that makes my arm numb if I sleep on my side, but not with my BFF Casper. It is pillow perfection.

If you will spend that much, why don’t you go for saphir?

Bamix. I had a Braun for years and it was okay, but upgraded to a Bamix, it's amazing. It has a few different blades for different tasks, speed options, a spice grinder attachment, the entire bottom half of the body it metal, the blades are dishwasher safe.

I make smoothies with it in a metal cocktail shaker and it even blends the ice well.

But it also has an audio jack...

Thanks! Will consider this.

Thank you so much for this. Very helpful.

There’s no evidence that blue blocking reduces eye strain. In short that has more to do with taking breaks, text size, and your glasses Rx.

Blue light is incredibly important and in fact should be consumed/absorbed from wake until ~60 but ideally 90 minutes before you want to be asleep. In fact, blocking blue light during the day is detrimental to your natural rhythms and has cascading effects.

Blocking at night will allow your natural melatonin expression. I use the Rise Science app to predict my circadian and get a reminder to put on blue blockers as my melatonin window approaches (time shifts daily).

For more info look up Dr. Satchin Panda (book) and several Dr. Andrew Huberman podcast episodes.

Thin pillows made a big difference for me. I use a latex foam one that's like 2" and a buckwheat neck pillow sometimes

Can you ask your doctor for the peer reviewed evidence they are citing (oh man that pun!)? As far as I know thread no evidence helps with screen related strain.

Like these https://www.thomannmusic.com/austrian_audio_hi_x25bt.htm Or any other studio phones which are made for abuse.

Leave the house, visit a store. Voila. Options, visual display, and support your local businesses.

Panda is the circadian king!

I use the Rise Science app to notify me relative to my melatonin window when you throw on my blue blockers.

Definitely an aspect of a wind down routine which signals to the brain. But, if you have good blue blockers you’re also allowing the natural expression of melatonin.

It looks like you can use a 3,5 mm jack when battery dies. I would have gone for something else tho.

My husband had temperpedic when we met - so at least a decade ago and he was obsessed, I didn’t understand it. Then this Christmas we went into one of their stores when they were having a sale and we found my perfect pillow.

buy the nature of being an electronic device, they do indeed have a finite lifespan, and being wireless noise cancelling, they have the shortest. I personally have a pair of XM3s, and they are my second pair after daily driving the first one into the ground (these are a waranty replacement). eventually, the battery will give out, the drivers will wear, and with ANC, the "Death Squeal" will set in (sometimes, older ANC headphones will develop a squealing in certain instances as the mics and system for the ANC start failing. I don't know the exact mechanics of it, but mine have recently begun this, and learned about it).

​

all that said, I have had good luck with sony headphones, but electronics are unfortunately consumables and need replacing, since most things, like headphones, just aren't designed to be repaired.

Buckwheat pillow gang here. Had mine a little over a year now and it's changed my life. Side sleeper. It's insane how much better my sleep has been since I got it.

I think mine is by Lofe but not 100% sure there.

Reading your comment I looked it up. Reviews seem to be mixed at best. What do you like about it?

Because if they all have the same size lid one cannot physically fit inside of the other to be nested.

What Rubbermaid containers are you talking about. Will you post a link/ picture?

Oh.. What do you suggest? Earphones? Wireless earbuds?

Hey it's my first time here and I thought this sub could help. Cut me some slack.

I ordered 1 in each color hopefully it works out, thanks again

I've had a Cuisinart with 3 heads (whisk, blade, and weird choppy blender container) for 20 years and it's still awesome.

Buckwheat hull pillows by Pinetail. So good I now have two.

For 30$ ish dollars my cusine art smart stick is absolutely worth the money/performance
