Power napping is an effective, well-documented method to increase wakefulness during the day. If you have to get by on very little sleep, learning to power nap can be an invaluable tool to stay awake and remain alert during the day. Extreme power napping (also known as polyphasic sleep or Uberman's Sleep Schedule) involves getting most or all of your sleep from power naps without the need for chemicals such as caffeine. Many successful extreme nappers thrive on a total of two hours of sleep pe …

This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon. Hiking is not only exercise, it's also a great chance to socialize in pleasant surroundings. All hikes will finish with dinner at an affordable restaurant willing to do separate checks. Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if the hike is at least 4 miles long and an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path is recommended.  Rou …

We meet at the Sony Plaza at 550 Madison (between 55th and 56th) every first Saturday of the month at 2pm. We talk about why our best logic, experience, physics, (yes, even quantum mechanics) psychology and neuroscience all point to the inescapable conclusion that human beings DO NOT have a free will; we have a predetermined, causal will. What makes free will impossible?  Logically, because everything happens for a reason, and every reason has a prior reason.  Experientially, the simple fact tha …

As a guy who goes out all the time, its tough to find other gay and lesbian people whose social life is like me: 1) hangs out only in straight clubs/events; 2) friends are straight; 3) big sports fan; 4) can appreciate the opposite gender and find them beautiful w/o having to sleep with them; and 5) not out as gay. The difference with the other meetups is that I am happy with my lifestyle and really don't want to change it up (yet). So I figured, start a meet up group and see if there are others …

"The streets are clear, the sidewalks are empty, a million lights open the way to a world concealed by the light of day. Shooting at night has been a joy for me. I'd love to do more of it, and I'd love to share the experience with others who share my appreciation for the night (and my sleep schedule). The aim of this group is to organize get-togethers where we can explore at night and use photography to document the city at rest. We'll shoot using tripods, flashes, or whatever ambient light we c …

Meditation -With a little help, anyone can meditate. When people hear about meditation, they almost always say that they either never tried it, or that they were not able to do it. Someone may have told you that thoughts were supposed to go away, but when you closed your eyes, more thoughts than ever came up. Williamsburg Meditates (WM) Mind is a terrible thing to waste! In a modern world and urban society, we are constantly exposed to an ocean of experiences.  Our common tendency is to begin i …

Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory..

New York, the city that never sleeps. An Ivory Tower. A cesspool. Both Babylon and Bohemia. Home to those who call themselves Sabbat. Denizens of the night, they cry to defy the tyrannous stars and slake their thirst upon those who would see them kneel. Still, they stand at a precipice of inevitability. Can the children of Caine stay united in their holy war, or will they fall upon themselves once more? Only time will tell, and the end of days grows closer with each passing night... Kings of Ne …
