    As an expert on this subject it is my obligation to point out that on the flip side it also takes 10-90 minutes off your valuable sleep time.

      If it took me 90 minutes, I don’t think I’d have the patience to do it.

      That’s like saying brushing your teeth takes time away from sleeping. You’re supposed to plan ahead, especially because having established bedtime rituals helps you fall asleep.

        Oh, no - the fact so many are not self-aware or the least bit mindful is actually one of the more significant contributors to my depression. But I’d have thought people so deeply self-absorbed would be even more prone to self-pleasuring and aware of its pleasant (& useful) effects.

          they are not aware of it because they are ruled by outside forces instead of themselves. So society and religion is what determines what and how they think.
