I'm not sure what's going on with my my upvotes these days. I've been keeping an eye on them lately and when I was about to vote I took note that you had 84 votes and less than $6.00...when I added my vote the total jumped to 85 votes and to over $18.00. I've no idea what's behind this...anyone?

As to Steemit being addictive...all I can say is if you're not then you're gonna be. And if you never really become addicted then you're likely to be abusing the hell out your allotted earthly time here...or you're just not a true Steemian.

I gave this place a month when I joined in June and I gave it my all. I think I averaged less than 4 hrs a day sleep. Most people can do this but eventually, as we all know the brain takes over and forces us to shut down. I think they call it sleep deficit. I read an article about it here a few weeks ago.

I'm doing better now that I know I'm here to stay. Still catching a few hours here and there and every few days crashing for a full six to eight hours dead time. Not that I don't have things to do here...always something going on in Steemit or Discord.

Still it's up to each of us to be conscious of our health. I hope everyone finds their equilibrium between the time they spend here, the time they spend with friends and family in the walking world, and what's best for their health...both mental and physical.

Excellent topic again Percy, you've got a solid balance of genres going on here. Always a good read. A happy belated 50th to you my friend, you do seem much younger of heart...and if they're calling you old at 50...then I must already be dead and this is the heaven and hell I never expected existed.

K...think that's enough babble for one of your posts...look'n forward to the next.
