After you have been awake for 2 days, do some yoga (or just stretching or other activites, that makes you feel your body…), take a bath and go to bed early and happy.

Insomnia will be no problem now… 6 years ago

It is a well known fact, that deprivation of sleep causes a euphoric high. And this is so true. It’s the best cure against depression (if you do it sporadically). Ask your therapist!

The main obstacle for it though is the qualms, if you need to go to work without having slept 8 hours.
There are no other disadvantages I could detect so far, apart from memory loss…
Just kidding!
But it’s true, that I find it a bit harder than usual to remember things. But never mind.

To be on the safe side, I would recommend not to drive a car on the second day. Take the bus! 6 years ago

Why fulfill my dreams? Why not just live happily ever after? Why bother about some stupid 43 things?

It has no purpose…
It’s just a natural desire.

Why not follow the call of nature?
Is it addiction?
or is it devotion.

This is what makes the difference: If you doubt or dare.
If you doubt, that you’re doing something good, you will call it addiction and loose yourself in worries.
If you dare to make your own music, you will call it devotion and do what you always wanted to do at last.
Simple as that.

Don’t worry, if you doubt! it only makes it worse…

Just come back home into the middle of this very moment, into the middle of your restless heart, the middle of god if you want, the middle of the universe as you know it, and you know you know it.

Amen and Namaste!

Fact is: I cant sleep at night.

I now have two options:
(A) quarrel with my zest for action and my energy, take pills and despair or
(B) Make use of it and stop worrying.

Because I’m smart, I choose B of course.
Come on! It’s no sin not to go to bed on time, is it? I’m grown up! I can look after myself, and I have to, cause nobody else does.

I don’t want to go to bed! I need no drugs, I just have this mania, this delight and euphoria. Let’s face it: I feel happy staying awake all night.

Shamans used to stay awake for long periods of time. It was their way to reach higher states of consciousness. Why may they have wanted to do that? Obviously, they strived to fulfill their dreams, like we all do.
To fulfill a dream takes us to a higher level of consciousness.
That’s why we love to do it.
That’s why sacrificing one night of sleep a week for my own dreams will be an enriching discipline. 6 years ago
