In society today, it’s hard to not advance in any type of way without being aware of your surroundings and being able to respond rapidly. One must have his wit about him at all times. To be at your best, you have to sleep correctly. To say you need less sleep then a normal person, or not need to work out is absurd. Everyone needs sleep, and everyone needs physical activity. We’ll just talk about sleep today.
Circadian Rhythm
Pick a time you want to go to sleep and wake up every day. Say eleven PM. Sounds reasonable no? Now pick you wake up time. Let’s say Six AM. That time probably sounds horrible to most people. Yet that gives you seven hours of sleep. It’s been proven in studies that people who have six to seven hours of sleep actually live longer. That’s probably because they wake up early to do a monstrous run or workout. Now if you don’t normally do this, it’s best to force yourself to do it for a minimum of a few weeks to up to three months. Once you have this rhythm down, your body will naturally wake up and feel tired at these times. You might have a time already set, if you do, make sure it’s at least six hours.
Having trouble Falling
Some of us have insomnia, or have trouble falling asleep. There are different things people do to help fall asleep. They read a book, they drink wine, they take Ambien. Granted that these all work, there are some occasions where they give you less sleep for REM. You might be in bed for eight hours, but you could have received only a few hours only to awaken at the beginning of the night. There’s one thing we must remember about sleeping that most people fail to take into account. We’re outdated. When we’re stimulating our minds with television or being on the internet, or playing video games, our minds are on overdrive. Trying to sleep immediately after such a task will keep us awake for hours. Try and keep your brain activity to a minimum starting a few hours before you’re going to sleep
Awakening is Equal to Death
Waking up for most of us is our hardest task for the day. Having a circadian rhythm & clock should help solve this. If you are resetting your clock, you may have trouble waking up at an earlier time. The first thing I recommend is turning on lights and aiming them directly at your eyes for a few moments right when waking up. Even with your eyes closed, the sensation of light will tell the mind that it is morning and time to be awake.
Mental Wake Up
Your mind is also something that needs to be tuned in the morning. Having simple things like different scents like candles, or different types of shampoos will help wake up the mind through the senses of smell. For myself, I have an application on my phone that has me solving twenty to one hundred math problems. Right when I wake up, I look at the blinding light my phone gives off, do some math problems which causes me to be awake in less than five minutes. As much as my pillow argues, I have the sleep thing under control.

Yes sir. Most of us go out, most of us drink, and on a few occasions, we get out of hand. Trust me, I’ve been there before. This discussion will be over different ways for how you can judge your tolerance and how to upkeep your Gent personality without burning the world’s opinion of you to the ground. It’s actually quite simple if you think about it. The first key to it all is preemptive thoughts the daytime before your sessions starts, and how this simple equation works for you.
How Does One React to Each Drink
Tequila, Vodka, Bourbon, Wine and Sake will cause a different reaction. If I have too much Tequila I’ll end up head-butting someone that causes a ruff commotion with me. Vodka sets me straight and I’m able to keep count of what I’m having. Wine gives me a headache, and champagne does nothing but make me joyful. Bourbon and Whiskey will give me a ruff throat, deepening my vocal level if needed to assist in approaching women. I know this because I spend the night with each one of these types. Spending a night with a specific alcohol will teach you what it does for you. It will also teach you your tolerance level for each one. Please also keep in mind that there are two other things to take into account for each night you spend with them. Try to keep the next two parts of the equation equal for each night you spend with each alcohol so you are on a level playing ground for comparison. The first is food.
Eat Before the Kettle Arrives
Is it your office’s Holiday party today? Is it coming up? I had mine just a little while ago, and my office is known for an open bar and an enormous amount of tasks of drinks to consume. I was well prepared for myself by eating heavy before the day begins. Now one might make the assumption that eating heavy the day of drinking will cause bloating and not to look good in that new suit you bought. Yet I believe it to be better to be somewhat bloated than showing everyone what you had eaten for the day near the end of the night. A breakfast bagel, a sandwich for lunch and a small but somewhat heavy item (hot pocket) a few hours before the first Kettle One Greyhound is consumed is a perfect way to keep your tolerance high and prepared.
Workouts Cause Dehydration
We’re mostly water. If you don’t know that you need to Google or Wiki the human body and study up. Water is what we need to survive. If we don’t eat anything for the day, run a few miles and then have a single beer we’ll be infused with the “fun” it gives us much sooner. Make sure your food and your workouts are on a level playing ground. If you have not consumed alcohol for a week due to a workout regiment, you must realize how your body will react to the alcohol.
4 bagels + 7 Kettle-Greyhounds – 20 Min on the Treadmill = Perfection
That’s an example of an equation I know will set me find for the day. Like the way each person has a different skeletal structure, the equation will be different for each person as well. Until you choose to get to know each type of drink, and how you react to it, you may end up with an unpredictable night. I wish you the best of luck on this one, as it takes a few years of practice before you know you’re set straight.
