With the recent rise in health trends, I have been trying my best to get myself on to more natural methods of doing my favorite things. The first thing to go was my plastic sponge. I switched to a wooden scrubber, and it has honestly changed my life. The decrease of microplastics has not only benefitted the environment, but also made my liver livelier. So, I’ve slowly been going through my daily habits and switching them for more sustainable options, both for the world and for my body. 

The hardest habit to switch though? My time traveling. Blacking out using certain brain chemistry-altering medications has just been the most surefire way I’ve tried to time travel several hours into the future. So far, I’ve already tried a few alternative methods because, according to my doctor, my liver “can’t take much more of this,” and I think one has finally stuck.

The first alternative I tried was dissociation. This worked pretty well, but I was a little bored since I could still hear all my thoughts. Not ideal. This method was also unable to do medium (several hours at a time) distance time travel. I was either only traveling a couple hours, or I was traveling a couple months. It was quite inconvenient.

The second method I tried was doomscrolling. I don’t know if this was more or less healthy than blacking out, but I guess it was better for my liver. This method works really well for a lot of people, and I definitely see the appeal. I didn’t have to think at all, and time just flew by. Honestly, I might’ve stuck with this one if I hadn’t found this last method. 

This last method is revolutionary. Absolutely blew my mind when a friend recommended it to me as a way to achieve medium-distance time travel with no health risks (in the present or future) and even health benefits if you can believe it! I tried it, and I was instantly hooked. Even faster than getting hooked on opium. Sleep is absolutely the way to go. I completely switched over from blacking out to sleep once I tried it. It’s so calming and leaves me feeling refreshed several hours into the future, and it also doesn’t have the side effect of teleportation!

I would absolutely recommend sleep for those trying to embrace more natural and healthy methods of time travel!
