Sleep is the most important aspect in order to maintain optimal cognitive function, in order to maintain our natural hormones, our perceived wellbeing, and our health. When I say most important aspect, I mean it. Proper sleep is EVERYTHING. Matthew Walker is a Neuroscientist who has made it his life mission to study sleep and to make Public Service Announcements regarding the importance of it. He's written a fantastic book and done a lot of podcasts. Joe Rogan's is a good one to check out.

"Humans need more than seven hours of sleep each night to maintain cognitive performance. After ten days of just seven hours of sleep, the brain is as dysfunctional as it would be after going without sleep for twenty-four hours. Three full nights of recovery sleep (i.e., more nights than a weekend) are insufficient to restore performance back to normal levels after a week of short sleeping. Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived."

“Humans are not sleeping the way nature intended. The number of sleep bouts, the duration of sleep, and when sleep occurs has all been comprehensively distorted by modernity.”

“Routinely sleeping less than six or seven hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer.”

“Caffeine has an average half-life of five to seven hours. Let’s say that you have a cup of coffee after your evening dinner, around 7:30 p.m. This means that by 1:30 a.m., 50 percent of that caffeine may still be active and circulating throughout your brain tissue. In other words, by 1:30 a.m., you’re only halfway to completing the job of cleansing your brain of the caffeine you drank after dinner.”

It's no wonder that society pushes and normalizes caffeine. Smoking cigarettes and weed. It's no wonder society pushes happy hour, normalizes drinking. Pushes unlimited entertainment so we spend most of our days and nights staring at a screen with lots of blue light (which prevents melatonin from forming) All these things reduce REM sleep. It's no wonder society pushes working long hours. It's no wonder society pushes stress. All these things reduce sleep quality. All these things that lead to a lesser quality of sleep reduce our IQ. Reduce our health. Reduce our motivation. Reduced sleep turns us into zombies. I'd argue the biggest difference between critical thinkers and sheep is who gets better sleep.

I've made it my mission to increase my quality of sleep over the past 3 years and since my sleep has improved my mood has improved. My intelligence has improved. My health has improved.

And most importantly, my anger at the world has gotten greater. My anger at the thought of us being controlled slaves has increased. My willingness to fight the corruption has increased. My willingness to spread facts and truth have increased. I feel like a super human when I get a consistent quality sleep. Key word, CONSISTENT.

Do not let (((them))) fuck with your sleep. Take your power back. Take your humanity back. Studies show that people who get less sleep are more likely to binge watch TV. Binge social media for hours. Essentially, a lack of quality sleep turns you into a drone where you don't want to think for yourself and instead want to consume information.

This is my quick post, but I may post another one with more links and sources and better formatting if this post gets enough interest. But ffs, do not underestimate the power sleep. And do not underestimate (((their))) knowledge of this. And do not underestimate the lengths they have went through to ensure society is under slept.
