Enjoying Mike Flanagan's adaptation of @stephenking's Carrie. My sixteen year old was noting that, since it was set in the present day, it should have been called Carreigh 🤌

On August 26th, Meta reached a settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories regarding allegations that its products have harmed children and teenagers.

In other words, apparently 10 PM–7 AM is a reasonable time to protect teenagers' sleep, as long as everybody else has to do it too.

On August 26th, Meta reached a settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories regarding allegations that its products have harmed children and teenagers.

How good are you at not picking up your phone when it's in your pocket or sitting on your desk? Honestly, I struggle with it. Your teenagers may struggle even more.

Perhaps the most breathtakingly cynical part of the settlement is this: Meta has agreed that the nighttime feed blackout will expand from midnight–6 AM to 10 PM–7 AM — but only if major competitors including Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube agree to comparable protections.

jamanetwork.comUse of Screen-Based Media Devices and Sleep OutcomesThis systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether there is an association between use of cell phones and tablet devices in the sleep environment and sleep outcomes in children and adolescents.

A large JAMA Pediatrics systematic review and meta-analysis found associations not only with bedtime device use, but even with simply having access to a device at bedtime. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I've had parents who've really struggled with their teens' social media use who've actually gotten safes or locked their kid's phone in their car.

On August 26th, Meta reached a settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories regarding allegations that its products have harmed children and teenagers.

I would not rely on your teen's willpower to keep them from using their cell phones at night. You need to have custody of the phones. How good are you at not picking up your phone when it's in your pocket? Honestly, I struggle with it. Your teenagers may struggle even more.

And there is evidence supporting this approach: bedroom access to phones and other portable media devices is associated with shorter sleep, poorer sleep quality, and greater daytime sleepiness.

On August 26th, Meta reached a settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories regarding allegations that its products have harmed children and teenagers.

Although I think this is a step in the right direction, I really would not recommend that parents or teens rely on the goodwill of tech companies and their oligarch owners to keep them safe or help them sleep well.

Teenagers need a sleep opportunity that allows for the recommended 8–10 hours of sleep per night. If the blackout is only midnight–6 AM, that allows only six hours of sleep.

On August 26th, Meta reached a settlement with 47 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories regarding allegations that its products have harmed children and teenagers.

Meta will pay at least $12.1 billion and potentially up to $17.1 billion over the next decade. That is a lot of money for most of us, but not particularly a lot for Meta.

Two changes are specifically relevant to sleep health. The first is a nighttime block restricting access to feeds between midnight and 6 AM. The second is turning off notifications between 10 PM and 7 AM.

You can't fix a summer sleep schedule the night before school starts. I can't tell you how often I see teens in July and August who are sleeping until noon — and who are going to have to be up six hours earlier in a few weeks. #backtoschool

Fortunately, you can make some changes now. Get the screens out of the room. Make a plan for schedule adjustment. Here are detailed plans if you need them: drcraigcanapari.com/the-back-to-...

Because it’s a lame party if some people aren’t having fun.

Oh and thanks to @kottke.org for surfacing this and so many other valuable things on the internet

thewhitepages.netDo you believe that everybody should have fun or that only a few people should have fun?Which side are you on?

Now the same trip (with all the different layers of fast passes etc) would be practically out of reach. Which is fine for us but makes me sad for parents of young kids who are not wealthy.

This is happening everywhere for lots of things that our parents (me- Gen X; parents on Silent Generation /Boomer cusp) took for granted. What I especially like is the focus on solutions— finding new non corporate ways to find and share joy for everyone.

I’ve been trying watching UConn basketball and still remember them losing to Duke with a buzzer beater by Laettner in 1990. This win felt like sweet revenge. Got a FaceTime immediately afterwards from my two best friends from high school. We’ve been enjoying college hoops from afar since then.
