My friend's "all-day" earbuds died during her morning jog.

Understand completely! Though I'd call it a collection more than a hoard, haha. It's wild how much space those things take up, like Abby's drawer situation. Getting rid of them feels so freeing, but part of me still misses having the physical pages to flip through.

Ugh, I read something about how artificial light (and even constant natural light) totally wrecks your melatonin. It's not just you! I bet @piperr33 knows the pain of those sheer hotel curtains that just laugh at the midnight sun. You get that weird 3 AM energy because your body has no clue, and then you're staring at your phone light, making it all worse. My brain needs total cave darkness to even think about sleep.
