I long had sleep problems most of my life. Like 10 or 12 hours and I would not be rested. During tours with the Army overseas, a couple hours here and there. It was a nightmare waking up like an asshole every single day. It created a core component of the person I am. But after my 33rd birthday, I started forcing myself to nap for 90 minutes after work, and 5 hours during the night. It's not everyman or uberman, but it has been a miraculous change for me. Just a straight up miracle. I should mention too that I also hit the gym pretty hard six days a week, and so I don't think going any closer to every/uberman would be possible.


That's the siesta schedule, I think. It's pretty successful, but when I try it, I get a lot of pushback from my family about being available right after work...
