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 haven't tried this myself and it requires a great deal of new age acceptance to, well, accept, but my father recently gave up caffinee in return for something called Lifewave. My acupuncturist reguarly would leave little stickers with nodules on them on various meridians. I think most of this is pure snakeoil, however. But even the stuff that is made-up has the placebo effect, so if it works, it works, and ultimately doesn't matter as to why. » POSTED IN:
