We need to make it normal (and as it used to be - safe) for worn out clothes to be thrown on the compost heap.

Reply to 8 out of 10 preterm babies suffer newborn jaundice. Therapy involves exposing the baby to blue light, however, there are no standard guidelines on the precise color of light, irradiation power and duration. Scientists suggest fluorescence measurement will improve jaundice testing and therapy. by Skoltech_
Ok I'm a float nurse but I work mom baby often enough to answer this.
This would be done in a panda baby warmer or equivalent, which is very comfortable for baby.
Blood tests are sent to check bilirubin level. You can simply trend labs and stop the light when it's appropriate. We know the light we use doesn't harm babies when used appropriately. We have to draw blood for many other reasons in the first 24 hours of life, so yes it's an extra heel stick or 2 for the baby.
I'm not saying we shouldn't do better and optimize here, but I just wanted to communicate that neonatal jaundice happens a lot and it's pretty easily solved the overwhelming majority of the time, unless the kiddo has something very serious going on. My little rural hospital has been doing this easily for a decade

Reply to People with dark personality traits are better in finding novel ways to cause damage or harm others: Study reveals that people with more pronounced dark personality traits tend to have more malevolent creativity by DreamingForYouAlways
I wonder if they make good DM's for roleplaying games? Somehow, I think that is more creative malevolence than malevolent creativity.

I needed to read this. I have a 6 and 3 year old and I love sleep but I'm definitely staying up til 1am playing video games with my mates from 10pm when the little shits are asleep. It's the only 'me time' I get.

this has to do with the relationship of neuroticism , intelligence and openness . Being dark means the creativity is dark.. its not explaining why they are creative in the first place.

Wait so if I’m reading this right, this study showed that taking naps is associated with impaired brain health? Crazy.

Not only do people who need sleep nap, but napping makes getting continuous sleep at night more difficult

What was wrong with the "prescription" given to my mother to place my twin brothers (born with jaundice in 1954) in the sun for a few days. The condition was cured and they both have lived normal lives.

I think poor sleep at any age has a negative impact on brain health, right?

I guess I see why. If you know there's a main driver, it makes sense to assume there's a reasonable way to address it everywhere - we're kind of conditioned to expect things to scale massively and apply no matter where you are.
It's just that this isn't one of those situations, because the effects are diverse and a single solution wouldn't necessarily apply everywhere.
