[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

Is anyone else having issues with Youtube ?

On the vast majority of videos I watch, the video just stops after at about 90%. I can see the end if I drag the timer slightly to the right, but I'd rather not have to

The human mind is bizarre in that a little sleep is fine and too much is not very good.
Hours of nighttime sleep --- Good/Bad
1-3 --- Bad
3-4 --- Good
5-7ish --- Bad
7ish-9 --- Good
10-12 --- Bad.

That's how I usually see it.
Also, little known fact - sleep is naturally undertaken in two seperate segments. Before the invention of widespread artificial lighting, it was common for people to wake up in the middle of the night for an hour or two. Indeed, there is much evidence in medieval times of a "first sleep" and "second sleep" between which people would come together to talk, play, go outside, etc.

"we may choose to emulate our ancestors, for whom the dead of night, rather than being a source of dread, often afforded a welcome refuge from the regimen of daily life."
