Following the discovery of the healing powers of fasting, healing
plants and healing springs, water, air, light and earth, the
system of natural sleep as laid forth by Stöckmann is one of the last
great discoveries in the realm of natural healing.
The commencement of a
revitalization process in the body accompanies the conversion to natural time. As confirmed by many reports, this can positively
influence a whole assortment of diseases common to civilization.
If consistency is observed, healing is usually accomplished in most
cases – even should natural sleep be discontinued at a later time!
Imagine: using this method, you only need 2 to 3 hours sleep a night - starting at 10pm! Your day starts around midnight / 1am, all the way to 10 pm - just think how much you could achieve/how much more of life you could enjoy!
Excerpt
"According to the views of most doctors and laymen, an adul t
person needs approximately eight hours of sleep although they admit
that individuality can exert a large influence on this. It is regarded as
advisable to go to bed at 10 pm and to get up in the morning at 6 or
7 a.m. Some think it does not matter when one goes to bed. In practice,
irregularity is the order of the day. Those who have worked hard
physically all day are happy to go to bed early, those who do not have
to work hard usually stay up longer. The question of the correct sleeping
time is one which has not been given the attention it deserves.
"Even if the methods for solving the problem differ from each
other: experiment is the decisive factor. Therefore, one must
continue experimenting until the natural law of sleep, and thus
the most effective nightly repose, has been determined.
"The experiences already gathered prove that the hours of sleep
before midnight are the most valuable. All those who work physically
hard tell us that the time of sleep before midnight is absolutely
necessary for them to maintain their strength. Particularly those
who live in rural districts are devout adherents of going to bed
early. Doctors are also proponents of early bedtimes for their patients
and the success of health resorts and sanatoriums is due, not
least, to the regulation of the night’s rest. As the famous doctor
Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland said in his world-renowned book
„Macrobiotics or the Art of Prolonging Human Life“ (published in
1797), two hours of sleep before midnight is of more value than
four hours of sleep during the day."
