Ever wonder about the crazy stories behind England's past? Me too! This channel is where I'm attempting to untangle the heroes, myths, and family trees, focusing a lot on Beowulf. Warriors, monsters, good vs. evil – it's all in that Old English poem. As I dig into the poem's history and themes, we'll also be peeking at Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse culture, language, and mythology. Let's explore these ancient worlds together!
This is My Mid-Life Crisis.
So this is where I start testing out some things to see how they work and how far I can manipulate them to work better for me. First Sleep: I used to sleep semi-normal, in bed by 23:00, waking up at 05:00. 6 hours has been my normal for over a decade now. But I want to see if I can get MORE awake time. Sleep less but train my body to get better quality sleep. Right now the aim is 5h 10m’s of sleep in a 24 hour period with Polyphasic sleep.
