I actually tried to do that (to my best ability)
Lasted a few weeks, maybe two
I had more energy, mind became faster, but the voices became louder too and I wasn’t happy
Not like I am happy now, but then I was not only unhappy but also felt as if I need to do all this work and chores and my brain just doesn’t make enough dopamine that way idk
So you could never not fall asleep? Even after you just woke up?
it could take me a while, but yes
also…the only thing that makes me not able to fall asleep is knowing there’s no time left xD
if i had a lot of time to sleep yet, id sleep…but when i wake up half an hour before i should…yeah xD
I can induce it, yet somehow I also can stop it at any time, so like I know I can’t move, yet I know that I can turn it off
And I have no idea what sleep paralysis demon is and why people are so afraid
That makes me sleepy instantly
Even now I just thought to myself, just to experience - oh fuck I have to get up in half an hour
And now I feel my eyelids getting heavy
me either…lack of fear is why it doesnt come…you need to feel trapped and scared…and it is as if a prey hunts itself…nearby predators will think this is a free meal…and thats it
but you trapped yourself, not them
what i do feel is a very “dead” or apathetic state…i assume my body has absorbed all chemicals so i cant feel sht…it doesnt feel good…pretty sure some good affect then would make everyone astral travel without a problem
at least i think thats what induces the fear…the quiet zone
but thats why yoga nidra increases dopamine by 70% (if i remember right)…sleep paralysis isnt enough…you need to not be tired, and then you may be able to generate awareness, have will, etc (aka dopamine)…then you can control dreams or the exit
True, it’s the same for me as well. That first-time energy high just never happens again, and I assume things stopped working (although they probably haven’t, and just integrated in my system so I don’t feel the energy as foreign)
Effect
Sorry lol
So have you tried?
"Just interdepartmental memos,” Arthur explained when Harry queried the flying envelopes.
“We used to use owls, but the mess was unbelievable… droppings all over the desks…"
Just read this quote from wiki page on yoga nidra
Direct your attention into your forehead… Feel the forehead well… Go down a little to the right eye… Guide your attention into the eye… Experience the spheroidal shape of the eyeball… Try to feel it well, softly… directly, without using thought or a mental image…
That pissed my neurodiverse brain off for some reason, I’m not thinking about the shape of my eyeballs, damn it gives me an itch somewhere at the back of my throat
no because i mean emotion 
i want positive affect
nah…the dopamine prolly comes from the 72 point of focus things
but feeling the eyes and tongue is a lucid dream trick 
Effect
Affect is usually used as a verb, effect as a noun
idrc
i say it is affect
and im always right as per my own claim
genius is self-bestowed as much as foolishness is self-inflicted
Damn, and how do you do THAT
one point at a time
32 points go to the teeth
lmao no xD
i say that is an effort based thing…like learning all the freaking rivers in your country or whatever (we have a ton…i dont remember anything about them anymore…though i cheated on that exam so)
so…just make up your own body map and use it
