[Actual advice needed - brain frickiness

I have always had issues with false awakening. For those who dont know it's when you try to wake up in a dream succeed and find yourself still stuck in a dream. For me it's been getting worse. Today I must have gone through around 12 layers of false awakening/possible sleep paralysis before actually waking up.

Should I be concerned? Is this another sign of mental illness. Discuss.

Edit:btw I am not making this up, although I dont mind joking about it, this genuinely happens to me

It used to be stressful in the earlier years but now I got used to it enough that I just focus on forcing myself body to move awake as fast as possible. So it's like repeatedly moving your heavy body but it didnt actually move so you find yourself in the exact same position again reawakening. Then you keep doing it, again, and again, and again, until you finally wake up. Thankfully although in your sleep awakening you feel like you really woke up but find out you were wrong, actually waking up feels way different so you dont get paranoid that you might be still asleep.

okay is this like making you wake up too late or something? Or causing any sort of other ailments other than Justin being mad about it? Because if not it sounds like you’re just being an r-slur

Zoned out how? Does it seem more like “zoned out because tired of the wake up cycle” or “zoned out because have medical problem that causes sleep shit and fatigue”

Check your C02 levels?

That might unironically be useful. They have also started blowing firecrackers in my neighborhood so that might partly be causing it too who knows.

co2 levels do not affect you at all in those amounts. people on military submarines get 20x those concentrations and don’t notice. https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/eight-hundred-slightly-poisoned-word

co2 is used as a proxy for the concentrations of other volatile gases that may be harmful in poorly ventilated houses or buildings. But co2 itself isn’t harmful lmao. https://cdc.gov/niosh/topics/indoorenv/hvac.html Maybe you meant CO?

There might be some unrelated issue making you r-slurred that’s causing this, idk! Not enough info, you need to explain a lot Moreno

It can reduce your cognitive function over 5% PPM, it's not going to kill you, but it will make you r-slurred.

That's right, living in a busy city makes you a moron.

you are wrong, though. The studies that claimed to show that are bad and won’t replicate.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

"The studies" as if there isn't dozens of them that have reached the same conclusion, you literally just put someone in a room and increase the CO2 PPM, it not only has been done multiple times, but random mooks on youtube can replicate it.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

dozens of studies have concluded “co2 <somehow reduces> some measure of performance”. But for different concentrations and timeframes. And just as many studies find no effect.

Submarines find that at 40000ppm (4%) co2 there is no effect - https://nap.edu/read/11170/chapter/5#54 - suggesting all the studies at lower concentrations may be bad.

Thus, CO2 at 40,000 ppm for 2 weeks did not affect performance on multiple tests of cognitive function in physically fit young airmen, a population probably not unlike submariners.

Examples: effect: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ina.12746 https://nature.com/articles/s41370%20-018-0055-8 https://conference.iza.org/conference_files/environ_2019/palacios_j24419.pdf no effect; https://nature.com/articles/s41526-019-0071-6 https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00855.2017 https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8262780/

There’s a negative study for every positive. Usually in these situations it’s bad studies and publication bias and there’s nothing there. And the link I showed was Scott trying to replicate it himself and quite clearly failing. It is possible to do bad studies and half of all studies in google have mistakes enough to be bad, giving the overused but relevant half of studies don’t replicate statistic. That’s not evenly distributed per study - two studies on the same topic are likely to replicate or not dependently on the topic, so 12 studies that conclude the same still could be bad. So many studies conclude bullshit, don’t believe the abstract understand the study involved.

Intuitively, exhaled air (and therefore probably closer to blood levels) is 4% co2. Blood levels of co2 are 40-60mmHg (probably) with artery - venous = -6mmHg or less

So it seems, intuitively, that 5000ppm or especially less co2 shouldn’t matter THAT much given that the baseline is 40000ppm and other sources of variation like breathing rate can make as much of a difference

... what’s 5% ppm? That’s not even a properly written measurement. 500 ppm? 5000 ppm?

So you say intuitively nonstop and then ask me what's 5% of a million?

Ventilate your basement.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

well if you meant 5% of 1 ppm that’s 50 parts per billion. The atmospheric co2 is 400 ppm. So that can’t be it can it!

More comments

That shouldn't affect CO2 levels at all if my intuition is correct. More important would be ventilation/ leakyness of your room and the size.

Also read up on sleep apnea, what you have could be just very light sleep all the time? Especially if you're fat.
