Mattresses (esp tempurpedic/memory foam)

I sleep inclined, I went to the DIY store and bought some wood and attached it to my bed and now I sleep +25 cm higher with my head.

I also saw that David Wolfe prefers to sleep declined. Im going to try that too, maybe... I just need to lay upside down in my bed to achieve that now

I wouldnt say my sleep is alot better, it is however easier to get out of bed.. I still want to stay in bed, but if I need to get out I will wake up alot faster!

Okay, so I researched this a bit more... and what I found is incredible:

These are the effects of hormonal changes when changing your position. David Wolfe and some yoga experts claim that when you are upside down when doing a handstand. Your adrenal system kind of reverses and you will get very calm. It is also the ultimate way to realign your spine. So doing a few handstands everyday can be a very good thing to do.

Im definetely going to try this one out It is pretty damn cool. Too bad there is, as always, little research done.

Im not a big fan of david wolfe, but this is some damn interesting thing. I woke up, naturally, after only 5 hours of sleep, breathing very very light. Did the laundry and doing homework atm. Havent run in 3 days, did only some little breathing exercises. If this works, and keeps working, I'm going to beat 40 in no time

What changes did you do? did you sleep decline? do some handstands?

I slept declined, with my head laying 20 cm lower than my feet. I slept on my stomache. It works wonders for your back!

Let's wait and see if I get more tired today. I will test it out, sleeping declined for a while.

So far it is going great. I did a lot of reading all kinds of subjects. Not with a hyperfocus into one subject but I could do this and then go back to that and so forth. Normally this would have me very tired. Certainly at times like 4 o clock after I had 4.5 hours of sleep this night naturally. I am awake since 4 o clock and this little extra time seems such a big addition to my day. I would love it if it remains this way, that would mean I can have a lot more free time!!
