Tip for trying floor sleeping (from my 2 years): Start with yoga mat, keep bed nearby.
Zero risk, all learning. That's how I began.
What's stopping your next experiment?
#FloorSleepingThis floor sleeping is Experiment #1 in my series – documented, tested, kept.
Real results, no hype. More experiments ahead.
What should I dive into next?
- Living without a chair or couch (floor sitting full-time)?
- Starting contemporary/modern jazz dance at 40?
- Quitting smoking after 15+ years?

The Alcohol Experiment: What Happened When I Stopped Drinking for 15 Months
I stopped drinking alcohol on January 1, 2024. What followed became a 15-month experiment that changed how I see alcohol and its hidden…
11/ That view lingered: alcohol as a sacrifice for social ease, not reward, leading to small changes like clearing glasses from the kitchen.
10/ After fifteen months, a curious drink with a friend brought back the fatigue, but now it framed as a cost, trading clarity for a moment.
9/ A year on, sober at the same gathering, the evening’s progression felt predictable – louder voices, looser talk – from the outside.
8/ Behavior settled without the exaggeration alcohol brought; arguments faded, embarrassment the next day became rare.
7/ Over months, weekends changed – no dissolved mornings, more time for writing, reading, or gym sessions instead of recovery.
6/ Friction appeared too: stepping away from drinks meant stepping back from some social patterns, accepting a quieter circle.
5/ One evening with friends sober felt like a small shift – conversations stayed calm, and the next day arrived clear, without the usual fog.
