Bed

And I thought that Tim's approach would be useful for the stimulus audience because there is a lot of overlap in the intensity, in the sleep deprivation, in the distraction, in the cognitive fragmentation that you experience in the type of work you do and in what he and his fellow soldiers were experiencing.

And the way I connected with Tim is through an app he developed called Breathwork in Bed, which focuses on the first five and last five minutes of the day.

And I have actually changed some of my own habits since this conversation, especially in how I begin my day.

And at the very end of the show, I'm going to walk through what I'm doing differently.

Okay.

I'd like to get granular into what this looks like.

And I would imagine that your app, Breathwork in Bed, helps guide you through all of these things in the morning.

For you, if you're guiding yourself and going to take those breaths, what's the pattern of those breaths and how long are you doing that?

If you're up really early in the morning or you're someone who or maybe you're on like the East Coast or something like that, the moon being in Capricorn, you know, making a trine to Mars, it just happens too early where I doubt it's really much of anything.

So maybe you go to bed on Sunday night a little bit cranky or irritated or something like that.

Or maybe you wake up a little cranky and irritated at first.

That's very much the moon.

But there is like the moon in Pisces like wants to relax or be more open and but this is also a waxing moon.

So the moon is building up to this full moon phase and the moon in Pisces might just be manic or a little bit all over the place and trying to do too much.

And so I think Wednesday night, it's like, before you go a little crazy, just go to bed.

which brings us to Thursday, which on Thursday, the moon will then actually square Uranus first thing in the morning, and then it's going to be trining Venus for the rest of the day.

Of course, it contains all the latest devices, self-warming blankets, and here's a brand new feature.

Beds.

which make themselves.

Now, if you'll just step this way through the library, we can see the latest in talking book recorders, self-building fireplace, self-cleaning robot dust disposal.

yeah oh dude yeah yeah so i'm

like all these stickers in here Oh, Beds says he's got some Beds build slabs coming.

Yeah.

Absolutely, I'll trade you for rat parts.

For example, alcohol.

You might find that you actually go to bed perfectly fine even if you have a glass of wine of sleep.

That doesn't mean that that alcohol is not impacting your sleep quality because if we're not measuring this directly through tools, uh, now famously, like the Oura Ring and, um- Your iWatch.

You actually might not even know that certain habits are impacting your sleep.

So having that glass of wine at night for sure will make your sleep quality worse.

Stress, so having racing thoughts may be impacting your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Bright lights before bed.

This could be your phone or an overhead light.

On the bed I sleep.

Yes.

Lectus is the bed.

Dormio is the action.

Together they work well.

Това е легло.

This means this is a bed.

Легло.

Sounds cozy.

It is very important.
