The unannounced audio just woke my wife up as I was reading this at 2 am as an insomniac. Don’t do that.


Keep your audio muted too, maybe even make a schedule for it to automute when your wife sleeps :)

Don't surf from the bed, get up, do something, and get back to the bed when you are ready to sleep. (nope, I am not your wife even if I sound like her :)

Now that I've fixed your problems, how do I get back to sleep after I wake up or get woken up at 3-4am? :)


Perhaps try meditating for ten minutes; it often works for me.

Medito (https://anagora.org/go/medito) is a good free and open source app for mindfulness meditation, produced by a nonprofit.


Thanks, too bad it's not on F-droid, but I'll try it out (I've tried meditating in the past, but I couldn't hold out long enough).

(I hope I can do away with the phone for it soon enough, or it may turn out to make things worse :))


There's no autoplay audio for me. I just tried on Firefox for Windows (desktop) and Chrome on Android (mobile, obvs). Did you click on the video by accident maybe?


You are right … a scroll gesture was interpreted as a click on the embedded video… my bad


I had the same & scrolled right passed the player.. Seems like a buggy js interaction or something too me.


It's alright, it was 2am afterall.


Same here, only 5am. Very annoying.
