I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.

You don't need motivation, you need self-control.

You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.

You don't need luck, you need preparation.

You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.

You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.

You have everything you need.

Agree?

Since you have mentioned matthew walker and have read his book, do you know he has misrepresented a lot of data in his book you can check it here https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/ what are your thoughts on it? I think coming to any conclusion based on his book is not correct.

Btw I'm not trying to find fault in your content or anything just giving a different opinion

I just went down a rabbit hole reading Guzey's post & responses to his post. I must admit, I'm doubtful about Matt Walker's data on sleep duration specially. Even though he addressed some of the concerns, he didn't talk about data manipulation, which is not cool.

And his statement on "the shorter your sleep, the shorter your lifespan" seems to be a correlation, not a causation.

I guess I might have been biased to believe Walker's research because I realized I personally do better on ~8 hours of sleep. But I'm not consistent with my sleep times (& duration at times too) which I wrote about and I think I feel fine for the most part except when I push my sleep time too late.

This makes me question some of the sleep data. But I still think that the protocols for improving sleep are effective for the most part. I am though a believer in people self-experimenting because health science is not a one size fits all model and we are too early in the studies to know a lot of the info or extrapolate from animal studies.

So people should discard what doesn't work for them and experiment!

Thanks again for pointing this out!
