@KDC: I'm no expert, but plugging in a monitor uses up a computer's GPU. It's why so many multi-monitor setups require strong GPUs.
Using a laptop to do it, well... they're weaker than a regular computer. Yeeeeah, it's lame, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. That's probably why it was sluggish. In fact, I've read that it can straight up kill the life of your GPU! Which is why people do powerful GPU SLI setups for multi-monitors. Otherwise, their GPU won't last very long, no matter how strong it is. Too much load putting constant pressure on the poor GPU over extended periods of time sounds spooky.
So like, what's on my mind today? SLEEP!
I've been sleeping poorly the past few months, and I think I figured out why. The LOCATION of my bed! Where I had it, I would wake up many times during the night. My neighbors slam doors so hard, you'd think there was an earthquake shaking my entire room! The location had me hearing every door slam, every time they guy downstairs dropped a pan, every time they turned their TV on at 1 or 4 in the morning.... and the LIGHTS! THE LIGHTS!!! Ohhh, the sun shines directly into my room and it hit me super hard every morning! Every time the automatic lights were activated outside during the nights, the light would flood my room! I couldn't nap during the day, because the sunlight was superduper strong and very bothersome!
Soooo, now that my bed is moved, I don't hear doorslams, I don't hear their TVs, the sunlight and automatic lights don't get into my eyes, and I can nap again!
I've felt more refreshed, more alive, more motivated, and most importantly... more creative!
I feel like I can have the proper words for conversations and ideas again!
Amazing what a simple change of location of my bed did. I used to have my bed here. I don't think I'll be moving it except to clean under it. I think this is my spot
