Staying up til 8 is just so much more trivial when you only sleep 6 hours a night

So far what I’m attributing to downstream effects of the anxiety zeroing, where I went from having an anxiety disorder to not processing anxiety at all:

  • I can’t feel guilt, shame, loss, regret, worry, or terror, and trauma rolls right off me
  • I don’t feel in any worse mood as I get tired, and only sleep 6 hours a night
  • It’s much easier falling asleep, I can do it despite much more light, noise, awareness of consequential activity to follow waking, or of an alarm due to wake me at some specific point
  • I can go any length of time without communication with others without our relationship being affected by feeling abandoned
  • I have no snacking impulse – previously I would eat between meals much more often in what wasn’t experienced as sensation-seeking grazing but reaction to actual hunger I no longer feel
