Slightly random: I read a rather gloom factoid the other day. Apparently the benefits of sleep you missed is never recovered. But I’m sure #reinvent was worth the price πŸ™‚

Last night my phone battery was running low, so I plugged it into my laptop and went to sleep. This morning I wake up, the stupid phone decided to charge the laptop instead. RIP morning alarm ⏰
