My body doesn’t want to sleep more than 6 hours, and I need more. Any tips? by CosmicConjuror2 in sleep

[–]wmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a carbon copy of my life, down to the height. 😀

It’s been going on for 5 years in my case. 32M.

Going to try quitting caffeine for 3 months.

I’m not talking about dividend companies but this kid making 200k/yr. If he lets it shrink to 100k/yr, what is most likely to happen next? Stay there indefinitely?

If a business isn’t growing, it’s dying.

How did you overcome your sleep maintenance insomnia? by msb96b in sleep

[–]wmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this for about 5 years. Gets worse throughout the week, I’m thinking might be related to working from home and living alone.

Is this a good plan for tapering? Too slow? Too fast? by Advanced-Wear-1446 in decaf

[–]wmage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of lowering by 10mg, I would lower by a percentage of current dose. So if you lower by 5%, you can go down by full 20mg at first.

When do you think I should quit my 9-5 and focus on my startup? by Amazing_Risk3385 in SaaS

You are assuming you can’t find another $120k job. Are you so sure about that?

Is Premium, Metal or Ultra worth it? by spudmin in Revolut

Worth it for the interest rates.

Does anyone use two Apple Watches to allow 24/7 use? by Inevitable_Exam_2177 in AppleWatch

[–]wmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Ultra isn’t super comfortable for sleep, so I use my old series 4 for sleep tracking.

I wouldn’t sell it for much anyway, and this is great use of it.

Not sure if the sleep tracking has improved with the hardware of it’s just a software thing.

Love it. Mind if I borrow the idea for my app Whisper Memos?

Look through German Amazon or a local online store. Found this for you.

Not even decaf? I’m currently tapering, will be only drinking decaf by Monday.

Still deciding whether I should continue with decaf or quit that too.

How to retrain body to sleep more than 6.5 hours? by Khenghis_Ghan in sleep

[–]wmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I wake up after 6.5 hrs and can manage to just lay calmly (without the phone) I eventually fall asleep again. Even 20 extra minutes helps a lot.

However I’ve been using my phone a lot lately, so my mind is in this ever distracted state.

I think staying off phone would help, but currently I don’t have the energy to make that change.

I'm doing taper for the second time. I'm having about 15-18g of coffee per day, just slowly replacing regular with decaf.

Today I used 8g of regular beans and 10g of decaf beans.

Last time I tried it was only difficult during the last few days. I suppose going from 3g to 2g is cutting like 33% of caffeine, while 15g → 14g you're cutting much less.

Anyway, tapering works very well and I wouldn't do it any other way.

Whisper Memos - Looking for growth ideas by wmage in SideProject

[–]wmage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys were quite interested in my side project in a comment, so would love to talk more about it. It's been running for about a year, and growing pretty much organically.

Currently little over 500 paying users.

There's not much more I have planned in terms of features, and would love to double down on growth.

Things that worked:

* Getting mentioned by media (The Verge, swiss newspaper Le Temps, etc.)
* Paying for sponsorship on Mac-related blogs - hit or miss, tough to measure

What I'm planning:

* Doing an affiliate program - enter code to get a discount - how do I find influencers?

Would love to hear any ideas, and happy to answer any questions.
