Day 80 (0)
I think I have figured out what was wrong with me. I didn't have enough sleep.
"Wow, Mystic, it took you so long to figure out? Are you stupid?" Well, actually maybe yes. But hear me out.
Ever since I started really focusing on my work around September that effort bore great fruit. I'm more productive but also motivated than ever. I have managed to develop habit of waking up early and working properly as not to leave any work for my spare time at home. But sleep I've lost in the morning I did not really gained in the evening. I do go to bed earlier, but not early enough, leaving me with around 6 hours of bed time.
Add to that 2 hours not evening nap and you get 8 hours, jackpot! Well, not exactly. And this is what took me so long to figure out.
First of all nap is much worse quality sleep than good night sleep. And second I do not get 6 hours of sleep at night, taking into account that more often than not do some meditation or contemplation before sleep I'd guess I get 5 hours or so, again something I didn't count. That overall leaves me at about equivalent of 6 hours of sleep, way too little.
The solution is simple - go to bed earlier. My problem was after a nap I'm not that sleepy, so it's hard to fall asleep. Therefore first order of business is to get rid of evening nap. No matter how tired after work and dinner I am, I must brave through it and save that sleepiness for actual night. Then I can get 8 hours of sleep and be happier, stronger and all that jazz.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
