BMI is bullshit but mostly in the other direction - people who are overfat without being overweight by BMI. It’s much less common to be overweight without being overfat.

What is also true, though, is that the risk curve for underweight is sharp but for overweight is pretty flat - a few pounds over just doesn’t add much risk, while a few pounds under does add some risk.

Yeah but that’s just a pyramid scheme. We can’t just keep growing the human population forever.

Started working at 15, figure I’ll work till I’m 75. Or until I die, whatever. If I can. It’s fine, not ideal but fine. I would have appreciated maternity leave more than retirement. The time then would have been a lot more valuable.

I’m not worried about population decline but regret to inform Anon that I was around when there were half as many people and it was not better. Sorry. There was terrible pollution and more crime.

Dries out your mouth & makes your breath stink. And leads to snoring and sleep apnea, which leads to bad sleep, it’s a vicious cycle. One of the unexpected gains I got from yoga is a clearer nose to breathe through, I always felt like it was slightly blocked or small but the breathing exercises do open the airway and I guess tone up the muscles in there.

Not even pathological though - exhaustion will do this. I used to be so tired (life situation exhausting) and more than once got up to pee in the night, sat on the toilet but was not completely convinced I was awake not dreaming so couldn’t pee. Dreams intruding on that barely awake state is, I don’t want to say normal, but not unusual either.

It never happens now I am better rested.

Is that not an ideal size for most? It seems so. Don’t think anyone should say they are packing “only 5.5”, that’s at least average, maybe more. Preferences vary of course, but this seems a crowdpleaser size.
