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

This doesn't really work for me but my husband sometimes takes an early evening nap, usually by virture of falling asleep while putting the kids to bed. So he might sleep from 8-10, then be up from 10-12 or 1 when the house is quiet and the kids are in bed. He seems to do okay with this method, but I don't think it's something you would want to do every day. » POSTED IN:
