Do Nothing! If you are struggling with sleep and had a bad night of sleep, do not sleep in later, do not go to bed earlier, do not increase caffeine intake, do not compensate with a nap* 2. Time rescheduling/sleep restriction therapy: if you are spending too much time in bed, your brain is not efficient; it's like being in the gym for hours a day but spending most of the time scrolling on your phone – you're not really getting a good workout like if you know you only have 45 minutes to workout* 3. Don't underestimate the importance of a winddown routine: whatever you enjoy for relaxation, build it into your regimen to help you decelerate* 4. Do NOT count sheep, instead take yourself on a mental walk: counting sheep actually makes you stay awake longer; instead, get your mind off itself by going through a rudimentary walk with hyper-detail – imagine putting your shoes on, opening the door, crossing the street, imagine the signs you see, look at the flowers, etc.* 5. Remove …* Monophasic sleep: Single bout of sleep in 24 hour period* Biphasic sleep: Two bouts of sleep in 24 hour period* Polyphasic sleep: …​Napping* Naps are a Double-Edged Sword: If you struggle with sleep at night, do not nap during the day in order to build up sleepiness and hopefully sleep at night* ​Cons of Napping: Naps remove sleep pressure (adenosine) so if you struggle with sleep, you are setting yourself up for worse sleep because you've removed some of the sleepiness you need* ​Pros of Napping: If napping does not disrupt your sleep and leaves you feeling better, go ahead and nap but be cautious of napping too late which can disrupt sleep* ​Are Naps Right F…* ​Super Charged Nap: Swig espresso right before napping + nap 20 minutes + cold water to hands and face upon waking + immediate daylight 5-10 minutes outside​3 Ways Sleep is Essential for Learning:​* 1: We need sleep before learning to start the initial imprint and laying the tracks; sleep before learning is critical* 2: We also need sleep after learning to cement the information in our brain* 3: We need sleep to integrate the new information with previously learned information we have stored* ​Exactly How Much an All-Nighter Impacts Memory: Pulling an all-nighter leads to deficits of up to 40% in making new memories* …* Symptoms of REM Sleep Deprivation: Paranoia, hallucination, aspects of psychosis (with enough time)* Bad Sleep, And Then: When sleep deprived, you're excessively reactive and hypersensitive, particularly to reward-based activities – dopamine circuits are overactive when you are underslept* Sleep and Addiction: A lack of sleep is associated with addiction potential AND relapse if trying to abstain* REM Sleep Killers: Alcohol, THC* One Possible Mechanism for PTSD: The brain is trying to process the traumatic experience but fails, so the brain tries again the next night, and the next – until …Brain Features of REM:* (1) Electrical brain wave activity in the cortex is similar to that when you are awake;* (2) There are unique pulses from the brain stem ultimately to the occipital cortex (linked to rapid eye movements);* (3) Motor regions, visual regions, memory-related structures, and emotional-related structures of the brain all light up* (4) The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (responsible for inhibition and planning) activity is suppressed during REM* Functions of REM sleep: (1) Creativity; (2) Emotional & mental wellness – REM sleep is overnight therapy* …* (1) Consistently rehearse the notion that you will remember your dreams and you will take control of your dreams – if you do this enough, the probability you will induce lucid dreams is high* (2) Rehearse something (like flicking a light switch on and off) over and over; Then, when this appears in your dream you can take control* …Get the FULL NOTES Thank you for subscribing.

More often than I can count, I have conversations with students asking me what's next in their meditation practice, how to go deeper, or how to feel better in the toughest of times… and today, I am delighted to share a powerful conversation offering a few answers to these tough questions.Andrew Holecek is a returning guest to the podcast, as well as a renowned author and humanitarian who teaches internationally on spirituality, meditation, lucid dreaming, and the art of dying. His many books include Reverse Meditation and Dream Yoga. And now, he has a new book out - I'm Mindful, Now What? Moving Beyond Mindfulness to Meet the Modern World. This book, and our discussion today, reveals how the form of mindfulness many of us know is merely one thread in a much older, greater tapestry of contemplative practice. For anyone who has sensed the potential for something much deeper and more profound - this conversation is for YOU.Andrew and I talk about: Brining meditation off the cushion and into our day-to-day experiencesPractices that move beyond simply “calming down” The near enemies of practice, which include spiritual bypassing, spiritual materialism and the tricky distinction between tranquility and liberation. Waking up vs. growing upFive nocturnal meditation practices, the value of the dream state, and the magic of liminality.Lastly and most importantly, we talk about why these practices matter when the world is on fire. At the end, Andrew shares a guided meditation that he does every morning to start off his day. Join me for this inspiring conversation and practice. And listeners, I need to know - should I have Andrew come back to tell us more about these dream practices?!?There is so much richness in this practice, here is a breakout of some of the key moments:01:32 The Five-Year Retreat Experience04:42 Beyond Mindfulness: Deeper Practices06:54 Shamatha and Vipashyana Explained12:18 The Importance of Waking Down15:48 Therapeutic and Somatic Support18:32 Traps on the Meditative Path24:16 Waking Up vs. Growing Up26:48 Nocturnal Meditations27:16 The Importance of Dreams27:34 Polyphasic vs. Monophasic Cultures28:16 Ego and Altered States of Consciousness29:06 The Three-Dimensional View of Reality31:00 The Five Nocturnal Practices32:51 Exploring Liminal Dreaming34:14 The Science Behind Liminal Dreaming35:23 Observational Intent and Thought Image Amalgamation36:37 Deconstructing the Sense of Self42:56 The Collective Mind and Quantum Entanglement48:44 Guided Meditation PracticeLearn more about Andrew Holecek and find his new book here: https://www.andrewholecek.com/Sign up for my newsletter at https://merylarnett.substack.com/ to receive free mini meditations each week, creative musings, and more.Thank you to Brianna Nielsen for production and editing support.

Top footballers have been biohacking at Euro 2024 to help give them an edge. A number of players are using breathwork and wearing Oura Rings, others are drinking a concoction known as a 'Fuel Bomb' containing pickle juice, and more are using cryotherapy, blue-blocking glasses, and polyphasic sleep. So what's working best, and what can we learn? On today's show... 1. Oura Rings The Oura Ring has been a game-changer for many players, including Conor Gallagher and Marc Guehi. These rings monitor sleep quality, stress levels, and heart health, providing detailed insights that help players optimize their rest and recovery. By tracking these metrics, players can ensure they are in peak condition for matches, improving overall performance​ (https://www.englandfootball.com)​​ (Sky Sports)​. 2. Pickle Juice 'Fuel Bombs' Kieran Trippier was seen drinking pickle juice during a match to combat muscle cramps. Pickle juice is known for its high sodium and vinegar content, which can help stop cramps faster than water alone by triggering a reflex that inhibits cramping. This quick fix not only helps with immediate recovery but also offers additional health benefits such as improved gut health and controlled blood sugar levels​ (SPORTbible)​. 3. Cryotherapy Cristiano Ronaldo's use of cryotherapy is well-documented. By exposing his body to extremely low temperatures, Ronaldo reduces inflammation and speeds up muscle recovery. This technique helps him maintain peak performance throughout the season and is a staple in his biohacking regimen​ (UEFA.com)​. 4. Blue-Blocking Glasses Erling Haaland, although not playing in Euro 2024, is known for using blue-blocking glasses to improve sleep. These glasses filter out blue light from screens and artificial lighting, which can disrupt melatonin production and sleep patterns. By using these glasses in the evening, athletes can improve their sleep quality, leading to better recovery and performance​ (Sky Sports)​​ (SPORTbible)​. 5. Polyphasic Sleep Cristiano Ronaldo also practices polyphasic sleep, taking multiple 90-minute naps throughout the day. This sleep pattern helps him maximize rest and recovery, ensuring he is always at his best for training and matches. Polyphasic sleep can be particularly effective for athletes who need to manage their energy levels and recovery time meticulously​ (UEFA.com)​.

ENROLLMENT OPEN FOR TRANSILIENCE: STARTING SEPTEMBER 13th. Join me for TRANSILIENCE a 6-month training program for psychedelic coaches, integration guides and microdosing mentors who want to learn how to support others on the path of psychedelic transformation. In today's episode, I share the 7 core pillars of how I weave psychedelics into my creative process as a content creator, entrepreneur, and thought-leader. This episode is the follow up to episode #62 from Ideation to Implementation Psychedelics and the 5 Phases of the Creative Process. In this episode I cover: The 7 core pillars of my creative process.Why creativity is inherent in the process of inner transformation, and why creativity and transformation are two sides to the same coin. The essence of what 25 years of journeying with psychedelics and sacred plant medicines has taught me.A definition of creativity Exploring psychedelics as both "inspirogens" and "ideagens" (and why the names we give psychedelics matter.)Monophonic vs. Polyphasic cultures. Why my philosophy of life and creativity are one and the same. Why thinking in frameworks is helpful.My perspective on Intention Setting.The science of imagination.What is an Idea Space? What defines our best ideas?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.11.511837v1?rss=1 Authors: Liang, X., Holy, T. E., Taghert, P. Abstract: Circadian clocks align various behaviors such as locomotor activity, sleep/wake, feeding, and mating to times of day that are most adaptive. How rhythmic information in pacemaker circuits is translated to neuronal outputs is not well understood. Here we used brain-wide, 24-hr in vivo calcium imaging in the Drosophila brain and searched for circadian rhythmic activity among identified clusters of dopaminergic (DA) and peptidergic neuroendocrine (PNE) neurons. Such rhythms were widespread and imposed by the PERIOD-dependent clock activity within the ~150 cell circadian pacemaker network. The rhythms displayed either a Morning, an Evening, or Mid-Day phase. Different sub-groups of circadian pacemakers imposed neural activity rhythms onto different downstream non-clock neurons. Outputs from the canonical M and E pacemakers converged to regulate DA-PPM3 and DA-PAL neurons. E pacemakers regulate the Evening-active DA-PPL1 neurons. In addition to these canonical M and E oscillators, we present evidence for a third dedicated phase occurring at Mid-Day (MD): the l-LNv pacemakers present the MD activity peak and they regulate the MD-active DA-PPM1/2 neurons and three distinct PNE cell types. Thus, the Drosophila circadian pacemaker network is a polyphasic rhythm generator. It presents dedicated M, E and MD phases that are functionally transduced as neuronal outputs to organize diverse daily activity patterns in downstream circuits.

The was Shawn Stevenson's second time on the show and what a treat it was. For those that don't know Shawn Stevenson is the creator of The Fat Loss Code which we recommend to people all the time who are interested in learning how to lose weight the right way. I really like the work that he's doing and the heart with which he does it. This episode we talked about sleep and how to improve sleep naturally and cure insomnia. Here's some of the topics we discussed: What's the best sleep attire Time going to bed, does it matter? Polyphasic sleep patterns Temperature of the room The best time for melatonin production Low Blue Light glasses and if they work Angle of the head and bed Shift work & why it's so damaging EMF Radiation and why it's harmful for sleep Grounding technologies What foods to avoid before bed How much sleep do we need? Sleep disorders and sleeping problems are a huge problem in today's world. Millions of people today deal with issues like sleep apnea, snoring, waking u in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and can't go back to sleep. He wrote a book called Sleep Smarter: 21 Proven Tips to Sleep Your Way To a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success that you might want to take a look at. It has received some pretty amazing reviews from people like Daniel Vitalis, Pat Flynn and others. I have not read it yet but having spent some time with Shawn in person down in San Diego and speaking with him over email and during our two conversations on this show, I'm pretty darn confident he's going to deliver some amazing information. I have the book on my Kindle and am going to read it as soon as I get a chance. We talked a lot about many different issues like what to do about your sleep patterns if you're a shift worker. We talked about how EMF damages your ability to have a deep restful sleep with lots of REM. We talked about why it's more important to focus on when you sleep vs how much sleep you get. We discussed the low blue light glasses I wear to help reduce the amount of blue light that gets emitted from computer screens, cell phones and iPad type devices. You can also get them from Amazon as well. After we spoke with Dr. Richard Hansler As an anecdotal story I wear them every night for several hours and I seem to sleep really well as a result. I'm a big fan of them. We don't produce as much melatonin when the spectrum of blue light enters our eyes for some reason. We also discussed the type of clothing we should wear when we go to bed. Did you know that women who wear bras (not the ones from Ohganix) when they're sleeping significantly increase their risk of breast cancer? It's pretty amazing that bras are so harmful to our health and we don't even know it. We also talked about polyphasic sleep cycles and why it's probably not that healthy for you.

It All Goes Back in the Box 16And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ 18“Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ 21“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:16-21)   We are a people in a hurry   We suffer from a disease called “hurry” sickness. We are rushaholics     The Confession   If you have this disease, you are Polyphasic (multitasking)   I invite you to join the slow group     The Calamity   People often spend their life pursuing things that don’t really matter   So Jesus tells the story of a busy man with a lifetime opportunity   Then he dies.   Jesus summaries his life in one word: fool   He was so busy building his own kingdom he had no time for God     Two Corrections   One: Life will settle down; we’ll get time for the things that are important   Two: Someday enough will be enough   The way we become rich is to slow down and focus on Him     The Contest   After playing a game for a while, “it all goes back in the box.”   While we want to leave it out as a memorial to what we’ve accomplished,       it is a reminder that it’s time to go home   We understand, “It all goes back in the box” means “game over; it is time to go        home”   It means “It’s not really yours. It doesn’t belong to you.”   The man in Jesus’ story learned to play the game; he played it well.   But he forgot the game eventually ends   So...what is worth giving your life to?     The Casket    “If life boils down to one significant thing, it is movement. To live is to keep moving. Unfortunately, this means that for the rest of our lives we will be looking for boxes. When you’re moving, your whole world is boxes; that is all you think of; boxes. Where are the boxes? You wander down the street, go in and out of stores, wondering “Are there any boxes here?” You could be at a funeral, everyone around you is mourning and crying and you are looking at the casket: “That’s a nice box.” Does anyone know where that guy got that box?” That is what death is. It is the last move of your life. The hearse is like the van, the pallbearers are your close friends; the only ones you can trust with a move that big. And that casket is that great box you have been looking for your whole life. (Jerry Seinfield)   All this rushing and accumulating is simply a form of denial   There is a simple two-word question we tend to avoid: “Then what?”   Jesus reminds us life passes quickly. And then, it all goes back in the box   If your soul was demanded of you today and God used a single word to summarize your life, what might it be? _______________   As you reflect on this past week, allow his gift to fill your heart   As you look forward to the New Year, remember the person in Jesus story   As you think about this story, remember the only thing that doesn't go back in the box is your soul!

Our guest for this week is Jamie Wheal, an expert on peak performance, the co-founder and executive director of the Flow Genome Project and co-author of “Stealing Fire”.Jamie’s background is an amalgamation of expeditionary education, wilderness medicine, and surf rescue. He has over a decade of experience advising high-growth companies on strategy, execution, and leadership. His client list is a who’s who of top corporate executives including the owners of NFL, NBA, MLB, and Premier League teams, executives of Google, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, Cisco. Jamie has also worked with the U.S. Naval War College and Special Operations Command and advised the athletes of Red Bull on the topic of peak performance.In 2015, he co-founded the Flow Genome Project and he is leading an international team of world’s renowned scientists, athletes and artists with a goal of mapping the genome of peak performance state also known as Flow. Their vision is rooted in “taking a rigorous, multidisciplinary and supremely practical approach to the science and research of peak-performance.” As self-described “flow hackers” the end goal of the Flow Genom Project is to use this research to help more people level up in their actual lives.Along with Steven Kotler, Jamie co-authored the global bestseller titled “Stealing Fire: Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live”. In it, they explore the many ways how the world’s most successful people use altered states in order to unlock peak performance.Connect with Jamie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-wheal-887212a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamiewhealpage/Website: https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/Altered States vs NOSCsIn order to further clarify the topic of Jamie’s studies, we start off our conversation by making a clear distinction between altered states of conscious and NOSCs which stands for ‘Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness’. This is a much more appropriate and precise term originally coined by Dr. Stan Grof. These states are one of the topics in Jamie’s book ‘Stealing Fire’ and they can be meditative, contemplative, states brought on by smart technology, psychedelic, sexual, athletic, kinetic or artistic. “Basically all the positive non-ordinary states you can think of that seem to share an awful lot underneath the hood of the mechanism of action. What’s happening in our bodies and brains to get us there.” - Jamie WhealMonophasic vs Polyphasic CultureWe dive further and deeper into the exploration of these non-ordinary states and Jamie makes yet another key distinction which helps us understand this problematic from a historical perspective. On the point of recognizing and appreciating different states of consciousness, we differentiate between monophasic and polyphasic culture. Polyphasic culture accepts different channels of consciousness, while later, during the age of enlightenment in the 18th century, mainstream ideas shifted towards the monophasic culture, focusing exclusively on the basic sensory input, an approach that gave birth to the idea of the rational self-aware waking self. Jamie points out that this shift has left a significant mark on our society and he argues that there’s a good chance this idea of being closed off to different channels of consciousness is causing all sorts of contemporary “diseases of despair”, which include anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc. He sees the solution in determining and accepting a post-conventional polyphasic culture in order to utilize these non-ordinary states of consciousness in order to both maximize our peak performance and “bring our collective project forward”.Ways of Reaching Peak Performances “You take breathing, respiration, movement, music, sexuality and then skillful use of substances and you can combine them and stack them in ways that can provide really profound peak experiences.” - Jamie WhealJamie proceeds to explore each of these methods of evoking non-ordinary states of consciousness how it can help you achieve peak performance. From controlled breathing to patterns of skilfull movement to listening to compelling music to harnessing the neurochemistry of the conscious sexuality all in the service of accelerated human development. He proceeds to explore a vast amount of intriguing cases and studies regarding the potentials of sexuality in particular, one being the comparison between the resemblance in the ways MDMA and orgasm affect our brain chemistry and neurophysiology. The way he envisions the purpose of these practices is essentially a reset of the nervous system in order to preserve and improve mental and physical health.“Can we actually defrag on a regular basis so that we stay current so that we stay resilient and we can actually face life with as much as resourcefulness as possible?” - Jamie WhealGroup Flow (i.e. Communitas)We step away from the individual and focus more on the collective in this part of our conversation. Jamie elaborates on the relationship between peak performance and the potential for healing or getting a release. To put in another way, we discuss the relationship between ecstasis and catharsis. However, these experiences are often not occurring in isolation. We rather seek to share our experiences and through communitas or “group flow” we connect. We bond in order to create “a reservoir of trust” as Jamie puts it, “which allows us to do hard things together.”Discipline of EnoughnessWhen we discuss the potential habits of people that are taking us in the wrong direction, Jamie has a collection of creative terms at his disposal. Yet, behind the ideas such as “hungry ghosts,” the true issue lies and we’ll need to deal with in the years to come. We need to fight off the role we have been conditionalized into which is the role of the hyper-individualized consumer purged by the need for instant gratification. But we need to do so in a way that allows us to regain our humanity and not to lose grasp of it completely in the transition.“We have to practice ‘discipline of enoughness’ and we have to seek the actual nutrients that we need like love, connection, belonging, contribution creativity… Good, old-fashioned, human stuff.” - Jamie WhealJamie’s Message of Inspired EvolutionThis podcast is an amazing opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and reexamine what we value as a society. Jamie’s expertise is vast and diverse yet probably the most impressive thing is the practical, “call to action” vibe of his message of Inspired Evolution, which he portrays by also leading the way. It is most certainly true that without proper action, any form of enlightenment is rendered pointless. That is why I wholeheartedly support Jamie when he is saying that:“The best antidote to anxiety and existential wondering right now is, go help somebody less fortunate than you.” - Jamie Wheal See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This interview with noted researcher, author, and veteran lucid dreamer Ryan Hurd covers a wide range of fascinating material. We discuss the “archeology of consciousness,” and what Ryan refers to as the Paleolithic Mind. We talk about polyphasic cultures that honor dreams, and the limitations of our monophasic view that colonizes and dismisses states of consciousness it can't fully experience. The conversation then turns to some of the shadow sides of lucid dreaming, Ryan's expertise with lucid nightmares, and how to work with fear – seeing it as a good sign. “We have to go to the underworld to enter the upper-world.” We talk about sexuality and dreams, using the “safe sex” of lucid dreams to transform the heat of passion into the warmth of compassion, and how to work with this connecting energy in what Buddhists call “the realm of desire.” Ryan's intelligence, scholarship, and passion for lucid dreaming is clearly evident in this rich romp.We then turn to his book on sleep paralysis, and explore the nocebo effect, “ghost rape,” REM Behavioral Sleep Disorder, and how this paralysis is connected to visitations – both nefarious and angelic – as well as alien abduction. We talk about the promising future of lucid dreaming, as well as the concerns. Ryan then shares his view on all the electronic gadgets, apps, and drug supplements (including the results from his recent study on galantamine) that are designed to enhance lucid dreaming. Are there any “magic bullets” on the horizon? We close with a discussion about his go-to methods for inducing lucidity, and how to work with discouragement. Ryan's rigorous but open-minded approach to lucid dreaming, fueled by deep personal experience, makes him uniquely qualified to address the wide scope of nocturnal practice.

Dr. Benjamin Smarr returns for a deeper dive into sleep physiology, wearable technology, social jet lag, and the missed opportunities in health innovation.   “If people have been doing rotating shift work, the longer that they've not been doing it, the more all these bad effects tend to go away...which is amazing and wonderful. That's for adults. That's not for developing kids. But even so, I think saying I'm pregnant so I can never fly is probably overblown. I think it's more an issue of the chronic daily insults where you just don't get time to recover.” Dr. Benjamin Smarr   Who is Dr. Benjamin Smarr?   Dr. Benjamin Smarr studies the temporal structures that biological systems make as they move through time. An NIH research fellow at UC Berkeley, his work focuses on understanding how physiological dynamics like sleep, circadian rhythms, and ovulatory cycles are shaped by the brain, and how disturbances to those cycles gives rise to disease. Dr. Smarr is also an advocate for scientific outreach, and routinely gives public lectures and visits K-12 classrooms to help promote the idea that by understanding the biology that guides us, we can live more empowered lives.   Highlights on Sleep   [4:59] The importance of sleep cycles [6:36] Is any sleep stage more important than another?

This was probably the most challenging episode to make ever. It goes into much detail about an alternate sleeping schedule called Polyphasic sleep. Human sleeping patterns used to be very different when compared to modern times. Did you know the monophasic 8-hour sleeping schedule is actually not natural to us? Well, there's much more interesting things to learn about sleep in this episode.

Around a third of the population have trouble maintaining sleep throughout the night. While nighttime awakenings are distressing for most sufferers, there is some evidence from our recent past that suggests this period of wakefulness occurring between two separate sleep periods was the norm. Throughout history, there have been numerous accounts of segmented sleep, with a common reference to "first" and "second" sleep.

Broad interpretation of artists, anyone who does creative or critical thinking work. 01:24 – There’s a surprising amount of drug-use in this book, lots of alcohol, and not sleeping. On the one hand this seemed undisciplined, but on the other these people did have very regular schedules. There was discipline to keep these activities in a well-worn groove. 01:53 – A hangover can make it easier to write – your brain can be more focused. In some ways it’s like the opposite of being caffeinated. 03:10 – The book has an interesting layout, there’s no attempt at narrative, each chapter is about a new person’s routine. 03:54 – Taleb keeps no routine, he doesn’t even use a calendar. 04:00 – Small gripe with books like this as these are idealized and narrativized versions of these rituals. None of them get drunk and yell at people on Twitter. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re only true 20-50% of the time. 04:55 – Problem with a lot of the lifestyle guru type people. They don’t do all of that stuff everyday. Except Jocko, he’s never overslept in the last 15 years. His morning routine seems to be the same wherever he is. 06:02 – Maintaining a normal schedule when you travel across time zones helps you adapt way faster. The minute you go back to your hotel you’ll crash, it’s game over! Jet lag is a strange tiredness, especially if you drink coffee, like you’re wired and drunk at the same time. 08:00 – Questioning whether you can save up a store of sleep for a rainy day. Apparently you can’t front load it, but when you get into debt you need to pay it back! 08:46 – Types of polyphasic sleep. Buckminster Fuller developed dymaxion sleep, he did it for two years and he’s the only one who’s ever been able to do it. 5-10% of the population legitimately need less sleep. Everyone else thinks they’re in that group but they’re not. 09:05 – When they tried one study on polyphasic sleep the subject just crashed and they could not wake him up. 11:43 – Is it quote or quotation? Don’t want to anger the grammar people! 11:55 – Download all of our episodes to find out whether one of our team is part of the alt-right. 12:58 – Auden was popping Benzedrine all the time. He regarded it as a “labor saving device,” a daily multivitamin. In the mental kitchen alongside alcohol, coffee and tobacco. 13:40 – Were these people great producers because of these habits or despite them? Question of whether the live-fast, die-young lifestyle enhances genius. 16:22 – Personal experiences and use of some drugs. Coffee for work and productivity, micro-dosing LSD for the same. Marijuana for an after wine session. Fear of getting hooked with tobacco vs alcohol. 18:34 – Ritalin/Aterol for effortless full-speed ahead concentration. 20:12 – Doctors overprescribe Aterol – 90% of people taking it don’t need it. It’s very hard to quit, people get frustrated at never hitting the same level of quality. In some ways similar to steroids. 22:26 – The Renaissance happened when people stopped drinking beer all day and switched to coffee. 22:36 – Drinking habits around the world. Beer used to be brewed as water wasn’t safe to drink. They would steep the same grains up to four times. In Asia they would drink tea all day, which is probably why they were historically more productive than Europe. 24:55 – In sushi bars in Tokyo they have a tap of green tea. In Germany they give you beer, Americans drink water and now they’re more productive because they’re hydrated. 25:53 – Tangent – Most people who are in America now, their ancestors were the risk-takers. The people who took the initiative to leave behind everything they knew. So culturally this is ingrained. 26:59 – People used booked calls to let family on the other side of the world know they were alive before Skype. 27:40 – The history of pokes on Facebook – they would let a non-friend see your profile for a few days without actually becoming your friend. 29:10 – A significant number of people featured in the book seemed to have OCD, they were trying to control chaos. Beethoven’s coffee had to have 60 beans a cup. Kant had an extremely orderly schedule. The clock tower in town stayed on time less passionately than Kant. 32:00 – Everyone has odd habits, especially artists who spend a lot of time in their heads. 32:21 – The general impression of Benjamin Franklin is “early to bed, early to rise” but he seemed to set his 13 virtues up as goals rather than things he’d achieved. Comparing Ben Franklin to Tim Ferriss. People disapprove of others not following their own advice to the letter. 35:53 – Controversy when one updates his opinions. 36:16 – It’s surprising how few hours people worked – the bulk of the creative work was 5-6 hours a day, max. Darwin was famous for having two 3 hour work blocks. It’s hard to do creative work for longer. But good for mental energy. 38:00 – Tangent. It’s hard to be spontaneous in New York. Phone calls are scheduled a week in advance.  Time management tips: set regular stand-ups, only book meetings at certain times. Color-code your calendar. 40:30 – Work environments are moving towards being more results orientated, moving away from people just sitting at their desks doing nothing. A relic of the production line. Schedule Tetris in large corporations. 43:26 – Hack. Schedule hour meetings for 40 minutes, or half hour meetings for 20 minutes. It forces people to condense. 44:58 – Data should make it easier for people to get paid based on productivity rather than time. For consulting jobs, it doesn’t make sense to charge based on time. Historically, time was the best way of measuring output and so this made sense. 47:43 – Education is also stuck in this time loop since it was originally influenced by factory organization. Most interesting ideas that end up leading somewhere come from play, from free time. 49:21 – After unsuccessfully trying for ten years in New York, Henry Miller had given up writing, when he finally wrote a novel in Paris it was published without editing, there’s sentences that just stop mid-way. Seeing from outside, it seems these creatives are able to follow a routine without anyone forcing them. 51:44 – Jordan Peterson says there’s no such thing as writer’s block. If you’re stuck it’s because you have run out of things to say, you need to unblock yourself. 53:10 – Sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, may make you feel much more energized. Sleeping in on the weekend it’s almost like changing time zones every five days. 56:41 – Giveaways are coming, sign up for the email list. 57:03 – To remember to do important things pin a piece of paper on a different piece of your clothing, a form of mnemonics. 58:15 – When you first wake up, that’s a different person. You have to find ways of tricking him into not hitting snooze. Routines and replacement can help you get past undesirable behavior. 59:04 – Sponsor time. Mushroom elixir from Four Sigmatic and bone broth from Kettle & Fire along with Perfecto Keto collagen. Use them to replace alcohol in the evening! 1:01:38 – Despite living in climate controlled environments, we still feel like it’s cold outside when it’s winter, even though it’s the same temperature where we are. 1:03:30 – Some people’s capacity for alcohol is so far beyond the average. If you’re regimented and disciplined you could physically drink a bottle of spirits a day. 1:07:15 – Sugar is like a mild form of cocaine. It’s a stimulant followed by a crash. Hormetic stressors are only “natural”. 1:09:20 – Psycho-active drugs don’t make your brain do things it can’t do, they mimic neural pathways. Maybe adaptation is down-regulating the amount of neurochemicals being released in response to the trigger. If you know, write in! 1:11:36 – Morning Working vs Night-time working theme. More of the creators were geared towards mornings but it wasn’t across the board. Evolutionarily, it doesn’t make sense for humans to want to work at night. 1:14:20 – Waking up hack. Trick yourself into getting up by telling yourself you can go back to bed in 30 minutes if you’re still tired. 1:14:45 – Wrap-up and sponsor time. Perfecto Keto is perfect for all your ketogenic diet needs. Exogenous coffee-flavored ketones. Their matcha MCT oil powder is highly recommended for focusing. You can use the MCT oil with a Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee or your hot chocolate, all 15% OFF through our sponsored link or use the coupon code mentioned.

Ever wish you could spend less time sleeping but still feel alert, refreshed, and energized? In this episode, I discuss my experiment with polyphasic sleep. What is polyphasic sleep? Can it really deliver on the promise of less sleep, more waking hours, while still being well rested, refreshed, alert, and energized? How do you do it? What are some of the problems? What lessons did I learn from the experiment? I cover all of this and more in this latest episode of the My Life series, the series where I cover the tips and tricks I've learned while living my life.

Part 2 of Trav telling Los about his new Polyphasic sleep schedule I’ve been on this schedule for a month, here are some of my insights: Days are long again, like when I was a kid. Days are not really a thing, but you track time by events or phases. I got to work. I come home. I have family time. I have DevTips time. It’s not really night and day anymore. the sun is up sometimes, and it’s not other times. I loose track of the weekday really easily. You are adding to your lifetime. Not piling on years at the back, filled with medications and other issues. I’m living longer than most people today. I feel more connected to the earth, to the rhythms of nature more than the concerns of the humans around me. I feel different than everyone. Like I know something they don’t. Like I can see something beautiful that they just walk by. When my colleagues come into the office in the morning (its morning for them) I’ve been awake for 8 hours and have been making videos and stuff for a long time already. People are really accepting of my new schedule. It’s not really that hard. I take naps at work, which is probably the coolest thing ever. I’ve left meetings to nap. I’ve napped at other peoples offices. It’s not really that weird, and people are very understanding. I get a lot done. A lot. It’s not easy, and I’m not perfect. It’s cold these days and my bed is so warm and comfy. I’ve overslept a few times. Those days are hard, I feel like I’ve let self down, and there goes that days extra time. It’s easier to stay up late than wake up early. But I’m focusing on not throwing in the towel on the larger picture when I make small immediate mistakes.

Polyphasic Sleep What is your most valuable resource? How would your life change if you added 4 to 6 more waking hours to your day? What would you do? hours gained over time 16 hours becomes 20 per day That’s 28 hours a week 336 per year — 42 work days (month and 1/2) I call this new month “Slumbtember”

Dr. Dan discusses optimizing sleep. This is such an important aspect of optimal health and as many as 90% of people are chronically sleep deprived. Dr. Dan spends significant time with his clients in order to optimize sleep because he sees it as one of the foundations of optimal health. Topics discussed: What is optimal sleep and sleep deprivation Consequences of inadequate sleep Stages of sleep Sleep hygiene Supplementation for sleep Sleep biohacks
