Hey there!
Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!
This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world.
Let’s get started with our first question.
James Q asks #DEARBLOCKO What if everyone went to sleep
at the same time?
Well, if everyone in the world decided to completely sync up their bedtimes, things
would get pretty weird.
To begin with, certain portions of the world would be sleeping during daylight hours.
This would not only disrupt their natural circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle,, but
would force them to work at night, making outdoor jobs, like construction and agriculture,
very difficult.
This regimented sleep time would also affect energy production and carbon dioxide emissions.
While everyone is asleep, power grids would feel a sigh of relief and emissions would
decline.
But when everyone wakes up around the same time and starts using their lights and appliances,
emissions would surge due to all the power stations firing up - something critics of
Earth Hour have pointed out.,,
And with people up and working at night, we would use more electricity for lighting than
the 232 billion killowatthours the United States already consumes yearly for homes and
buildings.
Right now, this only accounts for 6% of the country’s total electrical use.
Who knows how big this percentage would grow if the world adopted the same sleep time.
Interested question though.
Thank you for asking!
Makayla H asks #DearBlocko Why do people get car sick?﻿
People that feel sick or nauseous when traveling by car, airplane, or boat are all suffering
from motion sickness., This happens when there is a conflict between what you are seeing
and what your body is feeling.,
While the car is moving, your inner ear, which is responsible for your sense of balance,
feels your motion., But if you are looking at your phone instead of out the window, your
eyes don’t register the movement.
This mix-up can result in feelings of dizziness, cold sweats, nausea and vomiting.,
All of that is bad stuff...
But now for some good stuff, it’s time for questions about me and my world!
Galaxy World asks #DearBlocko What would you do if you encountered
an alien 👽?
Well, I’ve actually encountered a lot of aliens.
Many aliens visit the Life Noggin world.
Some are evil.
Some are nice.
Others are made of spiders.
And those are a little harder to love, for obvious reasons.
Circlia does a great job of fighting off the bad aliens though.
She's great.
Rice Rat #Dearbloko Have you ever had any wars in your
World?﻿
Hmm I don't think so.
Actually, come to think of it, we did have a small scuffle with a group of Alpacas, but
they started it…
They were just looking at me funny, you know?
They’re just weird, ok?
They’re weird looking.
Anyway, do you have any questions about your world or my world?

“Well first of, when people talk about a person’s Intelligence Quotient or IQ, they’re
usually talking about a score they got on some tests that are thought to measure a person’s
cognitive abilities or intelligence compared to other people in their age group.”
As always my name is Blocko!
This has been Life Noggin!
Don’t forget to keep on thinking.
