Dr. John A. King describes surviving October and November on one to two hours of sleep a night while juggling training, competition, business, and illness. The sleep deprivation made managing his health nearly impossible, but a few people helping with his web and book projects kept him going.
Chapters
I originally called this the Sucktober video, but it sort of went into November and it's sort of like Suckvember as well now. A lot of pressure, a lot of pressure with the training, a lot of mental pressure with the competition. The illness is proving to be a challenge to me. I'm not getting much sleep. October I probably got, I don't know, 1 or 2 hours a night most nights. I was hoping November would be a little better, but like last night, I got about 30 minutes, 4 or 5 times during the night, you know, broken. And it takes its toll. It reduces my ability to be able to manage the illness. Feeling a lot of pressure, the home pressure, the business pressure, the training pressure. You know, they're all pressures I put on myself, but, you know, I want the goal. I want this thing. But it's important for me, and it's just important to me. I gotta do it, you know, clocks always tick. But I got a few people that started to gather around me to help me with some of the web stuff and the book stuff, which I really appreciate. And yeah.
