Dave Rahardja<p>I don’t know if it’s my age or just the general shitty state of the world around me, but I’ve been struggling to get enough rest these days to function optimally. The amounts of work that I would normally find OK (or even pleasant) has shrunk down significantly. I need more rest, more distraction, more entertainment to get through the day.</p><p>I think a lot of it comes down to stress. I’m stressed more and longer each day than I used to be. And dealing with stress means getting away from the routine and having some do-nothing downtime. And the more stress I get, the more intentional downtime I need.</p><p>Unbeknownst to me, I think I’ve allowed my “max stress” alarm level to be set at higher and higher levels over time. I need to reset that index back downward for my health.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fridayDevAdvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fridayDevAdvice</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/mentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/stress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stress</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>burnout</span></a></p>

Flipboard Science Desk<p>Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented. </p><p><a href="https://flip.it/0.ZRbx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/0.ZRbx</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MeaslesOutbreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeaslesOutbreak</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicine</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a></p>
