Alright so it has been a bit over two weeks since the 30 days were over and I thought I would throw up an update on how things are going. Things are going pretty well. Before the challenge I was having massive problems sleeping. My insomnia was raging out of control and I was sleeping [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 30 – It is Finished

Friday, September 18, 2009

So it is the last day of the experiment and I went out with a whimper. A whimper because I couldn’t sleep at all today. Well, that isn’t really true. I slept for four hours and then I was done. I got up a bit and played video games for a bit and tried again [...]

So I was riding pretty high the past couple of days with my nine hours but today I took a bit of a step back. I slept for seven hours. Not as nice but it is better than normal anyway. Also, it wasn’t a failure in the scripts or the process but rather that I [...]

We got up early this morning to take my friend from Little Rock to the Desert Museum. Our goal was to get there before it was too hot but we went to breakfast first and then Miss Tiggywinkle’s Toy Store and failed altogether to miss the heat. We were there for a few hours looking [...]

I woke up about 3pm yesterday and immediately started getting ready for the evening. I took a shower and literally had to drag my girlfriend out of bed by her ankles so she could take a shower and get ready. We collected my friend from out of town and took her to Pho Thu, a [...]

Today was one of those days when you have a lot planned and then none of it happens. I wasn’t really upset by that, it just meant that I woke up earlier than I would have liked for said plans and they didn’t go through. So I did my script, I did my process and [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 22 – In Which I Feel Like a Rockstar for Eight Hours of Sleep

Thursday, September 10, 2009

Okay, so rockstars don’t sleep that much what with the coke and all night groupie fests, but that isn’t the point. It also isn’t the point that I slept for six hours and then went back to bed for another two. The point is that I COULD go back to for that second two. And [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 5 – Deeper and Deeper

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Using the sleep process last night was much more successful. I was out by around 70 and the sleep was much deeper. I typically wake up several times a night and last night I managed to only wake up once and that was due to my precious real estate in bed being encroached upon. Of [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 2 – The Choice is Made

Thursday, August 20, 2009

I really did think that whittling down 10 choices to just one would be a difficult task. I worried that I was going to somehow flounder on it to such an extent as to render the entire exercise moot.  As it happens, however, the decision was pretty easy to come by. I left work and went [...]
