91.44 centimeters is about 0.9144 meters, which rounds up to one meter. Ergo, one meter is 91.44 centimeters. :P

Yeah, it shouldn't be okay to do math like this.

And if someone is six feet under, they're also two meters below earth. Six feet are 182.88 centimeters. So 2 meters are 182.88 centimeters. Quick math!
Also, not all yards are the same. They can be as small as a square meter and as large as several hundred square meters, depending on where you are.
Oh, and one lametta is 40 centimetta.
C'mon guys, the metric system isn't rocket science. (Unless you happen to work for NASA, obviously.)
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

no alarm clocks? =(

although to be fair... psychologically, if you set an alarm... it could defeat the point of a nap (may put you on edge)

Well, I did give myself some alarms now and then, only to sleep through it very heavily.

Thanks to both of you for your concern/support :D Yeah, i've similarly been trapped indoors for almost 4 months. I get why it needs to be, but it is really doing a number on me. But it's almost over, and i will be legally allowed to leave soon, haha.

I've been losing sleep as a result of my parents both working 14+ hours, but it's not unusual. Try to force yourself to sleep, maybe?
