Bad sleep will weaken your aura

(Running Emperor and Wanted)

This week people were very open and talkative with me, more than usual.

Old workplace colleagues, with whom i had a rather worn out relationship, all of a sudden took a rekindled interest in my life, hobbies, opinion.

All the time in the most varied conversations i was able to ask intimate, out of place questions and get away with it. I proposed the most capricious topics and people played along amused.
Some persons looked for me to explain things in detail about specific topics like i was an expert or authority in the field when this wasn’t the case at all.

All of this, and more, happened while i was sleeping 4 hours a day during 6 days.

Well, you can’t play with your body and pay no price.

Today i felt exhausted, lacking charisma and playfulness. I can’t outgame sustained lack of sleep.

People continued to be open and talkative but i was off. I killed the vibe of some interactions that had i felt more energetic would’d been a lot of fun.

There’s no need to say i will fix this issue soon

I’ve optimized my sleep to prioritize deep sleep over total sleep, and over total REM too. This is yesterday… I got more total sleep last night but the deep portion was almost exactly the same.

Impressive, I hardly get over 1 hour of deep sleep on my Oura. What did you do to specifically improve deep sleep over REM and total?

A supplement stack that includes 1,000mg of GABA, 2300mg of various forms of magnesium (though as, I think it was @anon84605638 pointed out, I’m only actually metabolizing a fraction of that) as well as 250mg of l-theanine, and 3mg of melatonin before bed. I will be adjusting the melatonin dosing soon though.

I’ve also got some hypnotic sleep triggers that favor deep sleep, and I use earplugs and a sleep mask to minimize sensory inputs… necessary as our 1 year old still sleeps in our room, and sometimes makes noises during the night.

Other than that, I generally (though not always) avoid screens for an hour or so before bed, and we have relatively dim low-blue LED lighting in our home.

I need at least 8 hours sleep to replenish my energy levels as i am running custom emperor and wanted. Have you tried taking GABA a few hours before you sleep ?

Thank you! I’ve tried most of that things (+ blue light blocking glasses from 6 pm) at some point, but not your specific combination at once. I will shamelessly copy your stack and see if it moves my deep sleep.

It’s my understanding that dietary GABA barely crosses the blood-brain barrier.

It may be better to supplement with lithium (5-20 mg) or taurine to increase GABA levels.

Definitely possible; though I’ve omitted it from my stack before as a test and did notice a difference in my sleep quality so I added it back in. Even if t’s just a placebo response for me, my stack works for me and is cheap enough that I don’t mind using it :wink:

Your brain will always focus on stress (processing emotions) during sleep then the deep sleep
for physical healing. You want to get more deep sleep handle your emotions during the day. Meditate, EFT, Releasing, etc. It needs to prioritize for your survival. Having a total mental breakdown isn’t good for survival.

I would also try and sleep during the hours of 10-2 at night as those hours are doubled. If you sleep 10-2 it’s like you slept 8 hours. If a night person try and sleep 10-2 during the day for same effect.

Also try and start a yoga nidra practice a good 30 minutes is like 4 hours sleep.

I got it from Kim Anami, either from her Sexual Mastery for Men Salon or one of the bonuses she provided with it.

I can’t share her material but found an article that discusses this timeframe but can’t seem to be able to post links, maybe because my post count is too low to prevent spam? I’ll paste a little excerpt. I haven’t read the book discussed below. Does look interesting though.

"
There are a number of things that can do to optimize your sleep quality, and one of the most important is getting to bed at the right time.

“It’s been shown that human beings get the most beneficial hormonal secretions and recovery by sleeping during the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.” – Shawn Stevenson, Sleep Smarter.

It is between the hours of 10pm and 2am that you get the most rejuvenating effects of sleep because you’re aligning your sleep time with your body’s natural hormone secretions. The beneficial hormones secreted during this time include melatonin and human growth hormone (HGH), among others.

On top of wanting to feel more energized when you wake up, you may also care about slowing the aging process (or rather, preventing accelerated aging) – if so, then you need to sleep during the time when you are getting the best dose of HGH, the “youth” hormone.

One of the other reasons it is optimal to sleep by 10pm is because we get a “second wind” of energy around 10pm when our body goes through a transformation.

“The purpose of this transformation is to increase internal metabolic energy to repair, strengthen, and rejuvenate your body. Heightened production of antioxidant hormones happens at this time to help protect your DNA from damage, improve your brain function, and more.” – Shawn Stevenson, Sleep Smarter."
