Nine hours of sleep, woke refreshed, time flowing like childhood again.

Khan Black Stage 1 on rest days: slept 9 hours on nights of days one and two — must be energetic repair happening. Woke fully refreshed with zero grogginess despite the long sleep. Immediately into exercise, cold shower, breathing, and meditation. Energy and mood good all day. Mind in constant state of asking "how can I improve my life?" — the way young, high-energy men think when they're not wasting sexual energy. Brief flickers of irritation dissolve quickly back to calm and patience. Not feeling sorry for myself at all. Not hungry during intermittent fasting. And time goes by fast in a good way — the way it did in childhood when you're having a genuinely good day. That perception is back.
