help-circle








  • I didn’t do it on purpose. It just happened. I guess living out in the sticks does help: it’s not like we don’t have electricity or internet out here, but the first neighbor is 3 miles away, the town is 5 miles, and we have real starry nights here. So it’s quite easy to turn off the light and experience a, quiet peaceful night at the hours at which sleep should be happening naturally.

    I fall asleep around 8 or 9 pm and I wake up around midnight or 1am, watch something quiet and peaceful so I learn something interesting without falling fully awake - and more importantly without waking up the missus - then I simply fall back asleep until 5 am.

    I live above the arctic circle, so when it’s winter, I usually sleep longer. And when it’s summer and it’s daytime all night long, of course I sleep less. But on average, I sleep 2 x 4 hours per night. I feel just as refreshed as when I slept 1 x 8 hours. But perhaps feel less “disconnected”, if that makes any sense.
