Two more hours in the day?
experimental | Feb 16 2006
I have a problem: six months ago, I gave up caffeine. Since then, my body has insisted on having eight hours sleep a night instead of five or six. The change in my health is enough that I'm not going back, but I really miss those hours. Specifically, between ten and midnight I used to get a lot of reading and writing done, but nowadays by ten I can barely keep my eyes open. I've tried quite a few ways of cutting back my time expenditures, and I do seem to have gained some time back, but it's fifteen minutes here and ten minutes there. I can't seem to get back the time I really want-- a couple of hours when the house is quiet and still, and I'm feeling peaceful, reflective and productive. Has anybody been there and hacked that? 13 Comments

I read recently that sleep is important in the long term health of your brain. It follows that if your body is more healthy, your brain will be too. You may have been taxing yourself in a way that could have cut your productivity in later years. Perhaps your body is telling you that you're trying to do too much. Good luck! » POSTED IN:
