My process of hibernation
happens when I am sick or
when I feel like I need a
lot of rest.

What I do is that I stay in
bed, and try to go back to
sleep. As long as I can go
back to sleep I do so. I
do that for a few days,
normally during vacation
like right now. Not that
I really take time off,
I still work during the
day, but my client expect
a bit less responsiveness
during time like Christmas.

Today I've slept until noon,
I went to be around 11pm, so
almost 13 hours of sleep.
That's not bad. I've had
days in the past where I
would sleep over 20 hours.
I was probably sick at that
time. Hibernation for me
is a cure all, it really
re-balance a lot of thing
in my body and my mind.
And it's easy to navigate,
as long as I can fall asleep
I do so, without judging or
thinking, sleep becomes the
most important need.

It's also a good time to
fast, so my metabolism doesn't
need to digest. I might still
drink coffee of tea for the
few hours I am up, but I
would also take some castor
oil to make sure my digestive
track is clean.
