Why you should not

They also changed their avatar which was my lookout to close their thread/replies.

[TheCatgirlMunch]

Yes OP did a little trolling of their own, I totes approb

[plantron_RickMatsuri]

WK has disabled changing avatars.

[mweibel]

You’re stuck with that one then.

[melodelfe]

I’m sorry this happened to you OP, and I’m also sorry for the incredible lack of empathy shown throughout this thread.

@AndyMender

That sounds like a very traumatic story and I’m sorry to hear that it got to such an extreme .

@BrunoCaesarBlue

Give us updates! Wishing you a full recovery

@skatefriday

That said your situation sounds pretty horrible, and I’m sorry for what you are going through. It serves as a good data point for people to make choices about how and when they study.

@BrunoCaesarBlue

Yay for food

@Nemuitanuki

I support good sleeping.

@kuchikopi

oh gosh. that’s horrible

@thechilltrain

ust popping in to say that I understand what you mean, OP.

@thechilltrain

Let’s be polite in here, okay? We all want the program to have good results. We’re all learning together. No reason to get mad.

@Brand_S

Take that nap. See a doctor about that insomnia. Use all the leave you get. Go into a less demanding line of work if you can, even if it pays less. I’m already halfway into the kind of life that people regret on their deathbed. The longer you’re in, the harder it is to get out.

@Artrat

That being said, I’m very sorry for the troubles you’ve faced, they sound terrible

@Held

It sucks you’ve had such a bad experience,

@BrunoCaesarBlue

A bit more kindness toward amimono, everyone? She’s not saying that doing reviews as soon as they go up, in the middle of the night, will necessarily make people ill. But there is a chance that it will do that, and as you can see from amimono’s account, it is no joke. If even one person can avoid that pitfall after reading this, I count that as a good thing.

@PeterRoss

I see where you’re coming from with the actual content of your original post.

It wasn’t ALLL bad, some credit to the people who were empathic?

[TheCatgirlMunch]

Totally
Some bits were funny too

[plantron_RickMatsuri]

I usually get my most likes after my post has been flagged. So thank you, anonymous flagger!

[kuchikopi]

that may have actually been me

[plantron_RickMatsuri]

I blame Fergus (as usual)

[Amimononohitsuji]

Thank you everyone for your kind response and helpful words.
This topic got far more attention that I imagined and the reactions to it overwhelmed me,
that’s why I am not going to actively participate in this forum from now.

I might suggest, if there is still an interest to discuss on the timing of when to do reviews to open another topic to do so in order to shift away the focus from my very personal experience to something that can be applicable to other users without having to refer back to me every time.

[kuchikopi]

I think that’s a good idea, don’t come here anymore, the only thing worse for mental health recovery than poor sleep is excessive stress. Focus on the good my friend. Speedy recovery.

[kuchikopi]

@plantron_RickMatsuri

I blame Fergus (as usual)

Oh i call him “bonecrusher” now

[kuchikopi]

Just to be clear when I say don’t come here anymore I mean this thread, not the forums. Definitely keep coming back to the forums…

[Amimononohitsuji]

Thank you for clarifying

[trunklayer]

This is not the POLLs thread. Can I change the title so that it wouldn’t mislead people?

UPDATE: Well, I did anyway, because this is not the POLLs thread.

[will_riker]

I’m going to second the OPs suggestion that people read Why We Sleep. He addresses the biphasic (2 4-hour periods) sleep schedule and there is very, very little evidence that this is how we’re “supposed” to sleep. It was a common practice in one part of the world at one point in time but that does not mean that is how people are naturally supposed to sleep.

The actual scientific evidence supports the idea that people (yes, even pre-industrial people) naturally sleep in one eight-ish hour block of sleep at night, with one 20-minute nap in the early afternoon. So really, places with a siesta culture are the ones who have it right.

[Maulrus]

OK, I feel as if there is a much nicer way of making all of the points you made here. If you did that, I might even agree with some of them.

[Amimononohitsuji]

@Mods

I would like to say sorry to people I have obviously offended in this topic which was not my intention.
It is a very triggering issue to me and I understand that being the case made my wording unnecessarily offensive.

Still I think that WaniKani is a brilliant tool to learn Kanji efficiently and I would like to continue using it in all its functionality even under these itchy circumstances if that is possible.

I would be very happy if anyone who does feel offended by what I wrote would address directly in how I can sufficiently apologize.

And if there is a possibility to close this topic I would not mind it.

[Maulrus]

Lol, I read this post almost two days ago and I thought ‘OK, interesting theory. I agree with some parts, disagree with other parts.’ and that was about it.

Two days later: mods, flags, etc.

Me: Wtf happened?..
