  • Self Inflicted Insomnia

    What have you been putting off doing? Why?

    I do not support, advocate or suggest anyone do this. It can be dangerous to your health but it is something I have always found to be productive if handled appropriately and insightful.

    I have been putting it off because I am too old to be doing that anymore.

    The toll it has on my body whenever I do it stings with fatigue.

    In my 20’s I was able to stay up for days at a time but I never did anything productive but experience the mind altering state of sleep deprivation.

    In my 30’s and up until now I have always made sure that depriving myself of sleep meant that I was committing myself to completing an important task.

    Lately I have not been able to do so, but I feel that if given the right circumstances and motivation that I can.

    Sometimes you need to drive yourself crazy to understand how to complete the journey.
