I just did a big data analysis with Claude of the last four years of my health data.
Conclusions: Basically sleep doesn't affect anything. At all. This is probably because my sleep is in a very tight range (6-8 hours). This suggests I can probably chill out about my sleep needs, barring a major lifestyle change that would drastically improve some aspect of my sleep that I'm somehow blind to.

Man this made me really sad. I need to spend more time with my dad.

For context my PR is 1:12 from a few years ago. I'm hoping to do under 2:40 at Chicago in a few weeks, so this result was a little scary.
Good luck with your own half!

- Work: working on the figures for my paper.
- Fitness. Had a half marathon this past weekend and ran what I was hoping (1:19), but it did not feel as easy as I was hoping, as this was supposed to be a marathon-pace workout. Foot feels better but I'm still feeling a bit tired.
- Intellectual stuff: Two blog posts still, got another paid subscriber which was nice. Just finished Lenin for philosophy book club, and we are reading Peter Turchin next who should be super interesting.
- Finances: This should still be a net positive month, but I've still spent way too much. Need to sit down with the budget next week and figure out how I can do better. Spending so far: $2970.
- Dating. Met my girlfriend's sister at the race and hung out with her (the girlfriend) almost the entire day Saturday. It's difficult for us to meet up during the week, which has had the effect of making me more productive and more willing to do chores during the week so I have more time to spend with her over the weekend. Also have continued to be porn and masturbation free. Who knew it would be this easy all along.
- Tarot. Talked about meditation and my friend's job situation.
- Socializing: called my friend in Florida, went to run club friday morning, and saw both my friend Adam and my girlfriend at the race.
- Screen time: 1.2 hours.
- Meditation: 5 minutes 5x last week. Would like to make this more of a priority, although this week was significantly better.
Yup! It's such an info hazard that I'm still looking for ways to radically improve my sleep despite the fact that my sleep is clearly pretty good.
I will say Guzy's response to that book was just as bad however. It's probably not good to force yourself to sleep less than your body needs.
