The other morning my dogs woke me up way too damn early, but it meant I got to watch a very fat pigeon on the power line behind my house, and I got to see the finch population rapidly increase around it. (I swear I saw one little bird and by the time I got out of bed there were 5 jetting around. Pigeon did not move.)

I agree that these are luxuries for a lot of people. Some of them can be found with mindset shifts (from "fuck you dogs" to "oh look, pretty birds" for example) but it's also hard to shift your mindset to positivity when our society tries its damnedest to beat happiness out of you.

Some species of birds are singing some really complicated non-repeating songs.

I'll substitute sunrise in place of sunset and remove naps because I rarely sleep during the day because it fucks up my circadian rhythm. Everything else is spot on.

Something about naps I discovered I that there is two kind of naps

short naps around 20-30min where you don't get any deep sleep
long naps around 1 or 2 full sleep cycles, so for most peoples 1.5 or 3 hours nap.

Waking up from a short nap should be easy and you should feel energized almost immediately, if its not the case it probably means that your body started a full sleep cycle.

So to be able to nap during the day we need to find a way to tell or body that this is just a short break and we are not going for a full sleep, usually sleeping somewhere different like the couch or in a different position in the bed

I'm an IT person and it's all jumbled up.
