I wanted to see how long I can stay out of the CR today. It’s noon. Personal record I think.

You beat the record today. Is that how it’s gonna be? Every day you wait 1 hour longer before you give in? Eventually, you’ll be cured.

I heard of someone who did something similar. During the 40 years that he spent working, he only was able to sleep 6 hours a night. So, when he retired at 65 he decided that he would start sleeping an extra hour every night – so 7 hours a night – and that he would increase his sleeptime by one hour per night every year on his birthday. So he did just that, slept 7 hours a night for a year, then 8 hours a night the next year, and so on. When he turned 82, he died in his sleep.
