@machtyn trying to sleep my way back on schedule. Been out of wack since the stream. I’m on EST so it doesn’t end for me til like 6am.

2018-10-23 22:14:49 UTC  

But I love the streams

2018-10-23 22:16:54 UTC  

Streams make me miss my lost mugen folder, some good characters I can't find anymore

2018-10-23 22:17:56 UTC  

@MufflePuff Whenever I am out of sleep schedule I actually take the hit for the first day. I just stay up super late and then wake up early and "cold turkey" back into the schedule. Like I wake up at 0600 and go to bed at 2200 every night. If I go to bed later (a lot), I still wake up at 0600 and try to go to bed at 2200, not earlier.

2018-10-23 22:18:12 UTC  

@MufflePuff I do take 10-20 min power naps though. Feet elevated above heart and nap.

2018-10-23 22:18:49 UTC  

Yeaaaahh! I tried that the other day and it sort of worked. Thanks for reminding me. May be the only way.

2018-10-23 22:19:34 UTC  

Power naps are the truth, have you heard of people who ONLY do power naps every couple hours? @machtyn

2018-10-23 22:19:39 UTC  

No full sleep

2018-10-23 22:19:50 UTC  

Naw fuck that.

2018-10-23 22:19:59 UTC  

Crazy hard to start, and don't dare miss a scheduled nap

2018-10-23 22:20:08 UTC  

Apparently it’s.... more efficient I think they say.

2018-10-23 22:20:14 UTC  

I've heard of "sleep 3-4.5 hours" then work then sleep "3 hours"

2018-10-23 22:20:23 UTC  

If you can pull it off, great

2018-10-23 22:20:31 UTC  

As long as you sleep in 90 min rem states for DEEP SLEEP - that's good

2018-10-23 22:20:37 UTC  

@Roundabout Lout I love naps but I prefer to sleep only in full sessions.

2018-10-23 22:20:55 UTC  

i cant even nap. doesnt work. i just get the one nights sleep in per day

2018-10-23 22:21:05 UTC  

Well I forget the theory name but it's like humans used to sleep only 3-4.5 hours then the rest after gathering

2018-10-23 22:21:15 UTC  

I can only nap if I feel exhausted or have just woke up.

2018-10-23 22:21:17 UTC  

I replaced my naps with meditation once I realized I was liable to fall asleep for an hour or two

2018-10-23 22:21:25 UTC  
2018-10-23 22:21:27 UTC  

Yeah, that's my issue too.

2018-10-23 22:21:48 UTC  

Anyone here gotten a vasectomy?

2018-10-23 22:21:49 UTC  

Waking up after a full sleep, hitting the gym and then napping for an hour or two is fantastic

2018-10-23 22:22:07 UTC  

@Roundabout Lout awesome 🤔 may try that

2018-10-23 22:22:38 UTC  

@machtyn nah, routinely considered though. Decided it wasn’t necessary for me.

2018-10-23 22:22:39 UTC  

Though I would say I have a decent sleeping pattern of about six to five and a half hours on weekday nights. Then catching up on lost hours at Weekends.

2018-10-23 22:23:04 UTC  

I recommend it. Tried to meditate at 21, failed to, tried again this year. It clicked and now I feel like a new person

2018-10-23 22:23:47 UTC  

@Roundabout Lout Yeah man! Same. Started meditating a couple months ago first thing in the morning before the gym, it’s next level.

2018-10-23 22:25:13 UTC  

@TheDivinePotato I’ve been forcing myself to get 6-8 every night. Sleep is more important than I’ve been treating it.

2018-10-23 22:25:38 UTC  

sleep is the pillar of stability

2018-10-23 22:26:09 UTC  

Concurred, master sensei @shadowlessnexus

2018-10-23 22:26:11 UTC  

I've been slowly watching Rogan interview that neuroscientist about sleep. Good info

2018-10-23 22:26:59 UTC  

Aye, still trying to find some of that stability, I'll get a decent sleep as I progress to it.

2018-10-23 22:28:27 UTC  

Best sleep aid for me is a flesh sesh and then a podcast in the background. Adding 1g of glycine starting Thursday.

2018-10-23 22:29:59 UTC  

Yeah, something about trying to focus on a conversation with eyes shut is magic

2018-10-23 22:30:01 UTC  

I've not tried sleeping with headphones on, would you recommend getting something to listen to as a sleeping aid?

2018-10-23 22:31:03 UTC  

@TheDivinePotato I just use the speaker on my phone at 50%. Headphones would kill the vibe for me.

2018-10-23 22:31:40 UTC  

I like the feeling on eavesdropping the convo nearby.

2018-10-23 22:32:22 UTC  

Ah I see, right now I can't use speakers since I don't live alone, still in early college.

2018-10-23 22:32:42 UTC  

Oh and as far as what to listen to, I’ve been binging “The Church of What’s Happening Now” by Joey Diaz (podcast)

2018-10-23 22:32:56 UTC  

Oh, gotchu
