Yesterday morning was a very focused, productive day. I established the daily foundation of writing and jogging. I also met up with a couple local entrepreneurs that are doing some great things, and will hopefully help boost the Southern California Startup brand.
Here’s the thing, though: I didn’t get enough sleep. I got about five hours of sleep. In the past, I once attempted an experiment of sleeping only five hours; however, that lasted about a week. I ended up crashing on a Saturday night and ended up sleeping from 8pm to 12pm the next day. Not very productive. I’ve found that I need about seven to eight hours of sleep to be at my best. My wife needs eight to nine hours.
Anyways, this lack of sleep didn’t really hit me until around 11am. Combined with this, I had a banging headache. And no, it wasn’t a hangover. My theory is this headache and groggy feeling also came from the fact that I had quite a sizeable dinner yesterday.
My thesis for when writing the chapter on the concept of “sleep” and its effects on focus will center on experimenting with different sleep cycles and meal times.
