Ok, I have thought multiple times about jacking around with my sleep schedule. I have heard about many different ways that people have done so in the past. I found this link on Steve Pavlina’s blog about Polyphasic Sleep Experiments.
I have some projects I want to implement and get working on, and I think that freeing up the extra 30-40 hours per week will allow me to implement those changes. I am committing to it for 1 week, and at the end of the week, I will decide whether or not I will continue for another 7 days.
When I shake up a patterned part of my life, even something as erratic as my sleep schedule, it gives me a vision of a larger pattern of approaching my reality. For example, using the consumption of food as a metaphor to approach the consumption of sleep. How much do I need? In what ways do my earlier patterns work, and in what ways do they not work to increase the value and enjoyment of my life?
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter what you transcend, instead, transcendence.
So, tonight I begin a sleep pattern of 30 minutes, every four hours. I will sleep for 30 minutes at 2, 6, and 10, both AM and PM, and fill the waking portions with activities like enhancing my websites, doing experiments in my life, especially around achieving financial freedom and independence and doing more of what I love, all the time.
I have some doubts about the sleep experiment, since I really enjoy sleeping next to my lover, but I will still have my naps with her, and more time to enjoy her while awake and alert. Perhaps extended meditation times, yoga practice, and some other things that have begged for my attention and devotion…
More on this later, and tonight I hope to have some long-ago promised photos posted together in a late night post. More on the state of sleep pattern change as time passes.
Love, wildness, chaos, joy…

Hey there j!
I will go ahead with the BFF awards soon on my page. Thanks so much for that depiction of your memory of one of our first meetings. The other one that comes to mind was when I had a green cast on my right hand and wrist, and I stood talking with you and Aslin in the living room of David Jones’ house.
Thanks again for the BFF, you have already made my list too. Also, thanks for rekindling my love for searchenginefiction.wordpress.com
I have to earn myself a couple more followers to give this great award to.
Thanks for coming by, j…

G,
I remember the first time we met. But I actually remember talking to you as you stared intensely into the fire. That and communicating with you about music, books and everything we like to excite ourselves over.
That memory of sitting at the fire with you and Micah feels so vivid in my imagination that it’s almost real. Haunting for sure.
You staring into the fire with an intense expression, holding Psychopath’s Bible.
Micah laughing quietly at the fire he had pounded so hard earlier.
Myself drunk, stoned, tripping, elated with the magical campground and events surrounding it.
A truly magical campout that was! Never have I felt so alone and so together at the same time. A joyous celebration of life!
I awarded you the BFF. Check it out here: http://nowherelove.blogspot.com/2008/11/blogging-friends-forever.html#links
Much Love GD!
