I feel like it’s even bigger than that. Since the AI boom it’s become increasingly clear that our society has completely devalued humanity as a social concept. Companies acting like it’s terrible to ever interact with another human. Schools acting like teaching is something to be automated. Dating apps trying to integrate AI to message people for you. Our society is going insane.

Seriously. Teachers aren’t just some machines spewing out lessons. They are meant to be a trusted adult in a kids life. Someone they can learn social norms from and someone they can go to if they need an adult they can trust that isn’t their parents. I can foresee kids who go to this school having a much harder time getting away from abusive parents.

You might be waking up in a more ideal spot in your REM cycle. For me if I get 6 ½ hours I feel great but I feel like shit if I get a full 8. But if I sleep 9 I feel pretty good again. If you wake up and get interrupted during REM you’ll feel a lot more groggy and like shit for most of the day in my experience.
