Anybody ever try this? I seem to remember someone in OOT saying they were going to test it out.

I'm think I may make a go of it myself after my exams. The prospect of having 22 hours in a day is very appealing for me. There's so many things I want to do and there's no way I'll be able to do them all when I go to uni in September without being anti-social and locking myself in a room all day.

I'm not sure if I'd want to do it long term though, especially since I have no idea how it might affect my health. It'd work out as an extra week of time awake every month though...

It's always sounded appealing, but:

Not sure when I could set away the time to practice for it.

I don't think I have the discipline to do it. 20 minutes a pop, 6 times a day right?

Yep, every 4 hours. I'd never be able to do it at school, but when I go to university my day won't be as rigid.

You'd better not tell lolo about this.

I read the article, and started thinking about trying his schedule. I then realised this would never work with my current drinking habit. Waking up hung over is bad enough, being awake and gradualy getting hung over would be even worse.

I did this for about 5 months last year. Most of the time I felt great. Any other questions?

How would this work with a fulltime job?

this cannot possibly be good for you.

I have no idea. I was a college student then. It didn't interfere with my drinking, though. When I wanted to drink, I would wake up from a nap, have some whiskey, and then sober up a bit before the next naptime, so I could sleep restfully.

Drinking in college was kind of like a full-time job, so I feel I have answered your question.

How come you stopped? Did your daily schedule require it?

I'd be afraid of doing it for longer than 6-8 months, purely because I don't know what would happen after that in regards to health.

What about exercising - did you do any strenuous exercise and did your body function normally?

Oh yeah, and how long did it take for you to adjust?
