"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

For one example, sleep apnea can cause you to get little, if any quality sleep. This produces daytime exhaustion (and a propensity for napping) but an inability to get to sleep at night (your body's clock never resets properly).
I can get to sleep fine, sleep for however long, and still wake up feeling tired. It sucks.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Sleep apnea is a breathing problem and, if I'm not mistaken, not considered a form of insomnia.
no, but it's probably the leading cause of poor sleep quality.

as i understand it (i saw a doc awhile back when i was carrying more of me around), sleep apnea is:

a) very strongly correlated to neck-size (not sure whether or not this applies if your neck is rock solid muscle)

b) by definition present if you snore (caused by an full or partial obstruction, which is by definition apnea).

c) exacerbated by my drugs of choice, caffeine & alcohol

if somebody says they regularly go to sleep on time, seem to sleep straight through for at least 8 hours, and are never satisfied with that sleep, that says to me the quality is low, probably you're rarely reaching or staying in state of deep sleep, with some distraction, either internal or external rousing you from time to time.

Are you on a high carb diet?
Nah been on a TCD for a long while. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat; I have a permanent 'tiredness' throughout the day. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of sleep disorder as I know I wake up a lot during the night and sometimes don't remember doing it (I filmed myself sleeping :p ).

Actually I do have a very difficult time falling asleep, and I rarely stay asleep throughout the night. This is part of the reason that I can't sleep before 12, because I am so frustrated with the laying in bed for hours. I do get my best sleep when I have those extra 2-3 hours to just sit alone and think to myself. But if I could then I would like to go to bed before 12 and wake up before 9. I am thinking about trying one last time to get on that sleep schedule, and if I can't then I guess I'll just go with 2:30AM to 11:00AM.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

How did you do that? I dont wanna disturb myself and I dont know any camera that has nightvision, let alone a tape with 8 hours on it.

I have similar problems. 1-2 hour sleepy time when I wake up before Im fully awake. I can do everything, even take tests, but I still dont feel fully awake until about 2 hours after I wake up. During the first 30 minutes maybe, I sometimes feel sick and extremely tired. It goes away pretty quick though.

Also more hours doesn't really seem to help out. Sometimes it might even be worse. I have bags under my eyes which seem to be getting a little better.

The one thing that makes me doubt any sleep disorder is that I can NEVER EVER EVER fall asleep during the day. Even during the most boring bio movies, I can never fall asleep. The only time I can is if I go outta town, where it's a lot hotter than Im used to, and during the car ride back, i'll fall asleep after a whole day.
