Hope it works for you, I love the notion of it! Jai Ma! My friend Para wrote (posted with his permission:

I don't work full-time, I am on SSDI and can't work and keep my monthly check if I make more than $940.00 a month, before taxes. I can relate to your concern about caffeine. I am addicted to it. I really started to like coffee when I was in high school. I developed a strong liking for iced coffee, in particular. I have a friend of mine, Tom McCarry, who lives in California and who is a raw foodist. He has introduced me to that way of living. I have incorporated more raw foods in my diet and would like to be cleaner. I am also starting to drink decaf and herbal teas. I am inspired by what you say about your employment goals. I hope you can find a legitimate home-based business that would let you have all the time to do the things you want to do. I hope to see you at the next Integral Philly meetup. Great blog, I agree with much of it. I have to make some compromises about sources of income and my priorities. I will try to make some trips to trellis house, if I have the time, and can get there by public transportation. Anyway, hope to hear from you soon. Suzanne Smith Dear Marc:

As your wife, how could I argue with your desire to create more time, when you want to do it so that you can be happier, more available to me, and an even better provider than you already are for me and our two daughters? I think the interesting part of the experiment is to see how your focus develops after the adjustment period. It is all well and good to have 21 hours a day, but what will you do with it? Will I like having the whole bed to myself for most of the night? Will you be able to nap anywhere (like my children did) or will you need a dark and silent room every four hours and what will this do to our social lives? For more on this and other issues as they appear, see my blog Wife of an UberSleeper. It is certainly an ambitious plan.
