    The one thing I’ll say is to be careful of that.

    I’m in the no-sleep mode because of weird hormonal changes (my grandmother suffered the same) and it can make you really sick. It’s critical to get enough sleep as you age - it really does keep the brain healthy and shit slows inside one’s head - BIG TIME - by the mid-50’s.

    I watched my grandmother’s mental decline accelerate the last year she was alive as she all but stopped getting a good night’s sleep.

      I still intend to get sleep, I just am going to stop fighting the battle of waking up at a certain time and waiting for an acceptable time.

      If anything this means I’m gonna be training to hibernate rather than becoming an insomniac.
