I stopped doing it for a while and it got like I lost the ability to do it for a little bit.

But then, you know, a few years ago when I was trying to was doing my my polyphasic sleep bullshit, I'll be like, OK, I got to I got to force myself to take this 45 minute nap.

I only have 45 minutes to sleep.

I got to get sleep.

So I would start to do that again.

I'll be like, I wonder if I can still do that.

And it was really weak.

right it was weak at first but the more i did it the more i practiced it the more i got better at it so it's one of those weird things where i think actually you can get better at that one because then eventually that evolved into something else i talked to you guys about which is where i was like trying to find these meditations what i would do is i was like i would imagine myself sitting in a chair i could feel my arm lift and there was this wooden bowl of like wooden spheres right so i'd pick up a ball and i'd put it in another bowl and i'd be counting as i did and i could feel the tactile like

Less about the wood, but more about my position in my trying to separate my clearly laying down body and me moving an imaginary arm.

And it was it was the stronger that that connection got, the quicker I was able to just like slip into sleep.

Weirdly enough, I don't know why.

Yeah.

And because I think it's like you're stepping out of your physical form into your mind, which is where you are when you sleep.

So it's kind of health set.

Right.

And it's something you can get better at.

I do think that it weirdly is the more you practice that one, you can improve that.

Maybe you can improve the other ones, but I don't know.

There are scientific studies that actually have shown that this that that shadowboxing improves boxers performance, that if you're doing martial arts, there's certain athletes that if they visualize the thing that they're trying to do, their performance does increase.

Like the science study that I saw was set up in a way where it's like you had a control group of people that were actually practicing and you had a control group of people that weren't doing anything, no preparation.
