If anyone is interested in this topic, check out the book "The Promise of Sleep". It's the story of one of the earliest sleep researcher (before we knew about REM) and his journey into understanding sleep.

It some interesting insights into sleep, for example why it's better to be a little tired than overslept.

Man, what have they done to right click on the new york times website? Something screwed up going on when you highlight words, they're popping up a question mark to search for the term on NYT.

It's interfering with my standard highlight, right-click, search.

It sucks. UX thumbs down.

I know, not really to do with this, but hey, I gotta moan somewhere ;)

True but it is better than popping up a window every time you double click on a word or phrase. That was annoying to me and my copious highlighting and clicking that I do as a subconscious activity while I read. I mean automatically looking up the word "The" or "and" is kind of insulting.

This is exactly how I read, and yes, this site is really annoying because of that.

This is the adblock line you want to add:

The AdBlock filter I mentioned earlier completely kills this.

I use AdBlock to filter out this pattern:

Seems to work effectively.

A couple of years ago, the NYT site started doing stuff like this, and it was really getting in my way. I ran across a suggestion to use Adblock to block a specific Javascript file/inclusion from their site. Worked wonders.

How was I able to read it for free?

Maybe they're doing a split test? When I clicked the link, it asked me to become a member.

I recently cleared my cache though, and tried the link again, and I'm able to see it now with no problem.

Becoming a member for free isn't a paywall. You register once and then will stay logged in for a very long time until you forget there is even a registration at all. Your registration could have happened in the time it took to write your comment here.

I am not 100% sure, but I really don't think it was a free membership page. It gave me the impression that I needed to subscribe to see the content.

I am 100% sure, it was a free sign-up. Do it once and forget about it.
