Small progress after years of fragmented sleep

I've had what I'd describe as maintenance insomnia for about 2 years now. I don't struggle too much with falling asleep initially, but I consistently wake up between 2-4 a.m. and end up in a semi-alert state for hours. My sleep tracker shows multiple micro-awakenings, and my sleep efficiency rarely goes above 75%.

I've tried the usual adjustments: reducing blue light exposure, magnesium supplementation, and even cutting caffeine completely after midday. While these helped marginally with sleep onset latency, they did nothing for sleep continuity.

Recently, I started focusing more on structured behavioral interventions instead of isolated habits. What surprised me is that stabilizing my wake-up time had more impact than anything else I tried. I'm still not cured but I've moved from fragmented 3-4 hour sleep blocks to occasionally getting 5-6 hours uninterrupted

Why is my DC motor losing speed after 10 mins if my 3S Li-ion battery is still at 11.2V ?

I built a portable fan system using a 12V brushed DC motor powered by a 3S Li-ion pack (11.1V nominal). It works fine initially, but the speed drops significantly after about 10 minutes even though the battery still shows 11.2V.

The setup includes a 12V brushed DC motor rated at 2.5A, a 3S 2200mAh Li-ion battery pack, no buck-boost converter, and an axial fan blade assembly as the load. The symptoms are a noticeable RPM drop after sustained use, a motor that is slightly warm but not overheating, and a battery that is not fully discharged.

I’m unsure whether the issue is due to internal resistance in the battery, motor inefficiency at lower voltage, or a thermal derating effect.

I run a small digital agency currently managing social media for 14 clients across different industries. On paper it sounds manageable. In practice I have two coordinators who spend the majority of their time just... creating content like writing captions, sourcing images, scheduling posts, and context-switching between 14 completely different brand voices all day.

Every new client we bring on basically requires either burning out the existing team or hiring another coordinator. and a coordinator who can realistically manage 5-6 accounts with quality costs way more than what we're charging for social media on its own.

I know hiring is the obvious answer but I'm trying to figure out if there's a smarter operational approach before I add more headcount that just recreates the same problem at a bigger scale

I got a citation from the city on one of my rental units for a fire escape violation. The inspector said the railings are rusted through and the whole structure needs to be repaired or replaced before I can renew the lease. I need someone who actually understands Chicago code requirements and can handle this quickly. Has anyone dealt with this before?
