I am shortly into week 4 of my restricted sleep programne. I am going on holiday in two weeks and not sure of sleeping arrangements. Do I suspend my sleep diary for two weeks by simply restrcting my sleep window to what I was on the week before or something else.
Hello Martin!
Unfortunately, these are very personal decisions you have to make. It’s like asking if you’re on a diet, and there’s going to be a party a couple of weeks from now, should you attend or not?
Actually, you should question why you should even bother asking the question. What are you really afraid of? Because sleep that’s gone when attending the event shall never come back? It becomes then, why do you need to protect sleep so much? How has this been allowed to take up so much space and time in your life that it affects every thing you do or every decision you make?
I don’t know how you’ll end up choosing, but one thing is for certain. Sleep is still sleep. You will still get it in some form regardless of what you end up doing.
Yes, Martin. Ask why always. Are you born just to sleep? Or are you suppose to enjoy what life has to offer? Ask those deep philosophical questions. The quest for answer will undoubtedly lead to something insightful. It might lead to one of those “aha” moments when you finally see through the confusion and chaos.
Everyone’s lives has to end at some point. At that time, how do you want to remember yours? Do you want to remember how badly you slept all the time and how hard you struggled to fight your insomnia, or would you rather remember the wonderful things you did, the good times you had and the memorable memories you’ve accumulated? Ironically, at that point, aren’t you about to enter a deep rest where you’ll be having unlimited time for sleep already so why worry about not getting enough now!
