I used to stay up all night many times, some of the most beautiful experiences, lying on the grass, looking at the stars and seeing the sky turn more blue.. Then the sun rises, walk downtown, listening to a podcast and lining up for coffee..

They were magical times, lots of metaphysical enlightening thoughts. But now I sleep EVERY night + Set an alarm EVERY morning (For years), to wake up , and not sleep in..

If I stay up too long (24 hours), my heart doesn't like..

Meth addicts for example, they will stay up for 4 days (And at 5-6 days awake, the risk of "sudden death" is much more likely).

Take care of your heart/cardiovascular system, your brain, mental health, circadian rhythm etc.. Blood pressure and heart rate go down during sleep, REM sleep happens and deep sleep... You have MUCH time (During the day), to do all of the great things.. Naps are good too, just relax. cuz yknow;

As hunter gatherers, imagine.. we'd hunt the antelope.. and collect the roots, berries, etc.., then just lie there, under a tree (Sun beaming down), talking about stories... Where's the mental illness then.. And when sleeping at night? Some people would be awake.. And would wake everyone else up (When there's predators!).

Then dancing etc.. "He has the God in him/her" bumdadadadadumdadada, excitement. That's where the dopamine was, and activation of the serotonin receptors...

Don't laugh or cringe.. We have come from these insane, confused people. They built pyramids and small civilizations, mathematics involved eventually stuff like that (From looking at those stars....). It's great.
Thanks for this!
