Another amazing sleep with earplugs in. I was in bed at 11 and completely unconscious within minutes. Four straight days. The difference in my waking hours has been very noticeable.
I’ve also stopped drinking coffee. Forth straight day. I seem to be just fine. People warned me about headaches and other withdrawl. But so far I’ve experienced no symptoms, just that I fall asleep faster and stay asleep all night.
When I was in Hong Kong a couple weeks ago, a friend, one of my best friends, gave me a Jawbone Up. It tracks my steps, meals and sleeps. I only really use the sleep tracker. It will report how long it took you to fall asleep, and once asleep, how much of it was light versus deep. For the first week and half it was reporting 7-8hrs of sleep but only 1:50hr of deep sleep, on average. That’s part of why I decided to stop coffee for a while. Unfortunately, the band seems to be malfunctioning. Despite my amazing sleeps recently, the reports are consistently off, indicating just 1hr of total sleep, for example. I’m not sure what’s going on. Will try a restart when I remember.
In the main office. I have an unfortunate email to send– I have to push a major meeting back from Monday to at least week later, possibly more. It involves and Dean and a number of other people. But it has to be done. We’re simply not ready to have that check in. Vacation and other things have slowed it all down significantly. So we can only do what we can, and in this case that means pushing the meeting back.
I wonder if it weren’t for that looming project if I’d feel better at work overall.
But I really do seek significant change.

Tonight I have Sunken practice– that’s the band with Gio and my other friend. We’re playing every Thursday now, putting a demo together that will get us signed. Gio has it all worked out.
Tomorrow I have a date with someone I’m not allowed to talk about. Saturday I have Muay Thai sparring in the afternoon and a dinner at night. Sunday I see someone I’m not allowed to talk about. And then it all starts over.
Maybe all of that is why I need to change things up so radically. It’s not sustainable, and yet if I do less I get bored and lost.
Out for now, Monkeys. Later.
