Loss of consh: the other side of the coin
Friday was a good day. I met a couple of friends in Philly for dim sum. The weather was beautiful. I drove with the windows down with Jimmy Buffett blasting. It was a good day. On my drive home, as I thought about how best to work a nap into my schedule, it suddenly dawned on me that I’d have about 30 minutes between getting home and a call I had scheduled: I’d found the perfect window.
Here was the setup:
Lying on Moon Pod with separate footrest
Lying on acupressure pad and acupressure pillow — Hen turned me on to these, hoping he’ll write more about them soon
Apple Watch on custom “Nap” focus setting
By this point, I had 25 minutes until my call. I took some deep breaths and relaxed. Five minutes passed, and I decided to remove the acupressure pad and pillow. After another five, I decided to move to the bed, where I curled up with my body pillow. After a few minutes lying on my right side, I flipped to my left.
That’s usually when I fall asleep — but this time, it didn’t happen. I didn’t lose consh — at least I don’t think so. At best, I may have had a few Dalí-esque moments of light loss of consh, but this was a mostly conscious adventure.
And you know what? It was awesome — just what I needed.
More to come on this.
