Why Hypnosis Is Better Than Caffeine


By William T Batten

I don't need to tell you that feeling tired is rough. It affects everything you are, including your judgement and willpower. In theory, going to bed early should be easy when you're exhausted. And yet, it's somehow easy to stay up to surf the web or binge-watch TV.

It's easy to trap yourself in a destructive cycle. Not all such cycles are extreme enough to ruin your life. Some are subtle enough to undermine everything just a little.

When you're tired, it's hard to work. It's even hard to relax. The little things, like grocery shopping, and the big things, like rethinking your life, become even more challenging. You can be so run down that it's hard to do anything. Or hard to do nothing.

So, what do you do when you need an energy hit? Most people reach for the world's most popular drug: caffeine. I'm not going to say that caffeine doesn't work. It obviously does. I'm not going to say that it's harmful. All stimulants allow you to wear your body and mind out - but short of chronic abuse, there's nothing wrong with it.

No, my complaint with caffeine is that it's inefficient.

Have you ever drunk coffee, only to feel sleepier afterwards? Or, and this is a common one, it takes you from being tired to being jittery and tired. That's assuming you haven't consumed so many energy drinks that your heart feels ready to explode.

When it works, great. But it's hard to get the dosage just right. Missing the sweet spot can be worse than powering through the fatigue.

Here's the thing with drugs, especially those that influence the brain: all they do is what the brain is already capable of. They don't introduce new features to the neural architecture. Instead, they push it towards a state that the brain could reach on its own.

Now, I'm not saying that this isn't useful. Forcing your brain from one state to another is sometimes literally lifesaving. My point is that antidepressants don't add happiness and caffeine doesn't add energy. They gum up the mental machinery and trip it towards a desirable state.

Yes, this is also true with hallucinogenic drugs. The brain can - and will hallucinate on its own. If you've ever felt your phone buzz while you're not wearing it, or thought a stranger was a friend at first glance, then you've hallucinated. And what are dreams if not vivid, detailed fantasies?

It's not necessarily easy. But there's nothing that caffeine - or any other drug - can do to your mind that it can't do to itself.

But there's one important difference. The brain regulates itself. If you have too much of a drug in your system, then it will keep affecting you until you break it down or expel it. And if you take too little, how will you know whether the dose is wrong or it hasn't peaked yet? You can't overdose on your own chemistry, though.

There's nothing stopping you from reaching for a chemical high. Caffeine is popular for a reason. That reason isn't that people are tired, though. It's that using your brain this way takes training and practice. It's easier to pour a brew than to explore your own mind.

You know what they say about the easy path, though.

I'm certainly not recommending that you stop taking medication. That's a conversation between you and your doctor. What I'm saying is that your brain already regulates your mood and energy every day. If you learn how to influence that mechanism directly, rather than through chemical assistance, your days will go a lot smoother.

How can you reach inside your own mind and explore its many mysteries? You have no shortage of options. Every faith and culture has its own practices, all of which boil down to meditation and self-hypnosis. Learn the levers of your conscious experience. Everything improves when you do.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
