January 17, 2022:

I would like to learn to sleep so intensely and efficiently that I require only two or three hours nightly.

This is all about age. Where there are certainly more days behind than ahead, and I am acutely aware of projects unrealized, or contributions not-yet-made. Within the context of mature confidence in abilities and aptitudes, so that the wish nowadays is for time: for writing, for recording, for accomplishing potentials. And sleep feels unproductive.
