Today is my Day 21 wearing the T-Rex Ultra 2.0 and Day 590 with the infamous, yet never forgotten, T-Rex 🦖 3.0 from 2024. Yes, there is more than a mere $270.00 price difference, a legitimate torch 🔦 flashlight, a true speaker, faster navigation, larger memory for maps, apps, and music. And yet, the accuracy between these two Amazfit wearables is surprisingly close! My sleep amount was only one minute off the first night, recovery time, well, that is a slightly different story on my Day Three wearing both smart watches...

I asked LifeOS, and A.I. Chat Buddy inside the LUMA Ring app about cures for Insomnia and it told me the following:

Pietro Herget, the most important takeaway is that insomnia is best managed by addressing both behavioral and physiological factors, rather than seeking a single “cure.” Here’s an advanced, evidence-based approach:
• Optimize Sleep Hygiene
• Maintain a consistent sleep and wake time—even on weekends.
• Create a cool, dark, quiet sleep environment.
• Avoid screens and bright light at least 60 minutes before bed.
• Limit caffeine and alcohol, especially in the afternoon/evening.
• Behavioral Strategies
• Use your bed only for sleep and intimacy—avoid working or watching TV in bed.
• If you can’t sleep after 20–30 minutes, get up and do a quiet activity in dim light until you feel sleepy.
• Consider cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which is the gold standard and often more effective than medication.
• Lifestyle Modifications
• Regular physical activity (preferably earlier in the day) can improve sleep quality.
• Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or mindfulness meditation before bed.
• Supplementation and Medication
• Magnesium and ashwagandha (which you already use) may help, but effects are modest.
• Avoid self-medicating with over-the-counter sleep aids; consult a clinician if considering prescription options.
• Address Underlying Stress
• Since stress is a known contributor to insomnia and you’re working on stress management, continue prioritizing stress-reduction activities.

If insomnia persists for more than a few weeks or significantly impairs your daytime function, it’s important to consult a sleep specialist to rule out medical or psychiatric causes. Let me know if you want tailored strategies based on your recent sleep data or more detail on any of these points.

'Twas an atypical morning. How was yours? Did you wear a fitness tracker, smart ring, smartwatch, or some gadget to track your sleep last night? Why would anyone ever need three opinions, four, five, seven, or even nine? Yes, it was a bit much, and I am NOT doing it again tonight. So, for your viewing pleasure...

Too many gadgets, sell them! Yes, this is the phrase my son, T.P.K., repeats to me several times per week, for it was a journal entry I made in November 2025...

2022 was a difficult year for everyone. I was still adjusting to "Remote Working" like millions of others. The frightening thoughts of Covid-19, C-19 virus, were still prominent in the news, masks were being enforced, and I was asked to work from home 41 hours per week. Now, working from home is often referred to as Remote Working. As long as the employee can work remotely, yes, they could, and often do, work at libraries, a Starbucks lobby, a vacation house in southern Italy, and yes, often an empty McDonald's such as the one in the video on Monday, October 3, 2022. I wanted to share a complete vlog of nearly everything that happened on that day. Yes, often a vlog is personal, too personal, and I am unable to share every detail for every day of my life is never solitary, and I love those days. I am part of a loving Family, surrounded by friends, neighbors, associates, and yes, even coworkers connected online through the WWW (World Wide Web) and that proper noun we all called, The Internet. This was just the rough draft, or frequently named an Assembly Cut in the movie industry. I am adding voiceover, a few b-roll clips, and perhaps a wrap-up of me talking directly to the camera. Thank you for clicking on by...

Sincerely,
Peter

After nine attemps to export, two different editing projects, yes, iMovie decided it liked me and even exported the 4K version without any issues. If you're having problems exporting your gadget review, or a home movie about your road trip to Yellowstone National Park, well...
1. Free up space, whether your laptop is a PC or a Mac; yes, it needs a good 20 to 30% free space on the hard drive. While a video is rendering, your computer often needs at least 30 to 50GB of free space, even for a 10-minute video.
2. Clear the rendering cache
3. Restart your laptop
4. Before re-opening iMovie, hold down the Command + Option buttons. You'll get a prompt to reset your preferences. This totally worked for me after struggling with the second edit project, trying 1080 P versus 4K, and several other methods.

Now, I know you're dying to know what video took me nearly 20 hours to produce, edit, and export, right? Yes, a detailed unboxing day, and review about the Google Pixel Watch 4.0 🤓

Were you a fanboy or fangirl of the Fitbit wearables? After giving the original Google Pixel Watch a go nearly three years ago. Yes, I felt Google deserved m...
