Sleep is the Best Meditation

Sleep is the best meditation.
Dalai Lama

7/13 – work on eating earlier and allocating more time for sleep; sleep quality is more important than quantity, but right now, I need more quantity to work on the quality
7/14 – moving daily (operational) tracking to the Hacking Ultra Calendar; will continue to track strategy and tactics here
7/19 – the recent changes that I’m making to nutrition, frequency and content, are changing my metabolism and putting my body and mind through various changes, processing stored toxins, repairing damage, etc. I feel the need for more quantity and quality of sleep. My sleep quality has varied considerably night to night. My sleep quantity has been limited due to competing responsibilities. There have been a few nights when I stayed in bed ~2 hours longer than planned because my body clearly demanded it.
For the coming few days, I am making a concerted effort to increase my quantity of sleep. The goal is to work 10 hours of time in bed into my schedule each day.
7/19 – according to chronoquiz.com, I am a Dolphin chronotype; given the transitory state that I’m in, I will re-test in ~90 days (10/19/2022)
7/20 – last night’s sleep was the best in a number of days. I made myself available for sleep at 11pm, but it was closer to 1 am when I fell asleep. My alarm woke me up at 7am, but then, I went back to sleep until 930. In addition to working out the how/when of sleep my body/mind needs on an on-going basis, my body is going through a lot of changes currently, which I assume is placing an increased workload on my sleep.
Chronotype seems to be a complex phenotype, based on a number of genotype factors. I will continue to learn about my assessed chronotype “Dolphin”, without trying to make significant changes based on that information. I assume this knowledge will assist in reflecting on my experience, and I will re-test for my chronotype in 90 days.
7/27 – sleep interrupted by digestive issues; suspect gluten from night before last; eventually got quality sleep at the expense of my chiropractic appointment; made it into a productive work day
8/1 – tracking moved to Garmin Connect
