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

 Polyphasic sleep seems to work...Submitted by sonia_simone on February 17, 2006 - 3:57pm.
Polyphasic sleep seems to work for Pavlina, and I think he's about the only one it works for. Experimental, it's not two hours, but would it be possible for you to get up a half hour early and read then? Sleep is hugely important to your health, I think it's fantastic that you've made the switch. » POSTED IN:
