Sleep inertia is worst when waking from slow-wave sleep, which dominates the early night (Tassi & Muzet, Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2000).

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
