Yesterday, we started working on creating and using a 'Life Mastery' type of system based on my "Sleep Mastery" system that created when I was exploring poly-phasic sleep a couple years ago.
This reflective, observation-based system will help us build strong and healthy routines into our lives and once we 'perfect' the system, we plan to share this structure with the world.. perhaps by selling notebooks made of these sheets as a kind of training manual/journal to help people optimize their lives by connecting to their circadian rhythms, reflecting on the effects that foods and other substances have on our bodies and our energy during the day, and how to optimize healing at night.

The sleep on the night of (1/23-1/24) was a solid 11hours, but (1/24-1/25) was a little bit different. We went to sleep at 11:30pm and were able to sleep until 1:30am when Michael had a waking/creative energy that he wanted to pursue for a bit. Instead of telling him, no and to go back to sleep, I decided to see where this would go, so I explored some creative ideas with him and we naturally got tired again by 3am. That meant that we slept for a little over one sleep cycle (90-mins) and then were awake for exactly 1 sleep cycle before goinng back to sleep at 3am. When we went back to sleep at 3am, we were able to sleep until 6am, when Michael woke again with another creative spurt. We pursued these ideas until 7:30am (completing one sleep/wake cycle) and decided to go back to sleep again at 7:30am. Just when we were floating into a pleasant sleep, Michael's phone vibrated from a notification and woke both of us up. This was very aggravating, but we were able to go back to sleep again until 9:45am.
In total, we were able to sleep just under 7 hours that night.
For me, I did not feel as rested as I did when I woke from a solid 11hours of sleep, but decided to manage this by taking a 20-minute power nap after dinner. This served me well. I would normally try to take this type of nap (or if I felt like I needed it, I would take a 90-minute nap (1-cycle)) sometime between 1-3pm, but we were busy having a visit from our friend Meg today. Meg came over around 4:30pm and spent time with us and cooked us a delicious lamb yogurt curry with naan. It pretty much saved our lives. At the tail end of dinner, Michael's neurologist friend Misha came to visit bearing two gallons of crystal geyser spring water as gifts/tributes for healing. This was great because we were running out of water. It was pretty much right after dinner that I took my nap, but Michael was busy catching up with Misha, so he couldn't take a nap.
Later, our friend Greg came to visit and we talked more about our vision to create this documentary about the power of healing with community and love & compassion. With this documentary, we would like to eventually fund the creation of a healing center located in Taos, NM. For now, we are working on creating a 'gofundme' fund drive to make it so Michael doesn't have to go back to his job. Honestly, I think it would be dangerous for him to go back to work in his current form. He is vibrant and beaming. He is passionate, still young, and willing to spearhead the deepest challenges of our time with me and with any others who would like to come together and make a change for this world for the sake of future generations.
He is truly a modern philosopher, minus the alcohol and with the addition of an intense drive to find a practical outlets and applications for his world vision and philosophy.
I quit my job in March of 2014 and have been on this journey with him for 2-3 years, working freelance part-time for people that I believe in (which still doesn't cover my expenses), so we plan to jointly start this funding campaign and I ask of you to help us heal society.
We are willing to take the responsibility to take on the world's deepest issues of money, power, food, water, and healing and working toward a better integrated and collaborative and inclusive world. Our goal is to create a place where those in need of help that are not well served by the system can go to be healed. We also plan for this center to double as a place where people who want to get in touch with their natural rhythms can go to train and optimize their lives by connecting to their circadian rhythms, reflecting on the effects that foods and other substances have on our bodies and our energy during the day, and how to optimize healing at night. This is a place for the outcast and a place for the elite top-performer. We are all inclusive.
Please watch for our gofundme campaign which will come here in the very near future.
Much Love,
Yeon-Hee
