    Paul, just want to say finding your UA-cam channel has lowkey been one of my best online finds of the year. Not only are you an airline pilot, but you’ve become an excellent storyteller. Both of which are exceedingly cool, but it’s the amount of heart, with a dose of vulnerability & optimism, that you do it with that, for me, makes it must see viewing. This is a long way about saying thanks for sharing a bit of your experience with us. All the best!

      @@nzmarty if you load up on caffeine all day you can basically avoid it. When you wake up there is still a lot of adenosine in your brain which makes you sleepy, if you have caffeine, which blocks adenosine receptors, that adenosine stays around and can build up until the caffeine decays. Then you get a shit load adenosine 5 hours later. I would say delayed gratification is probably better that getting coffee right away after waking up. But you could just have decaf coffee (or a non caffeinated hot beverage) and then normal coffee later. Or wake up a bit earlier and have a slow morning. That short time of sleepiness right after waking up is important too, ideally you should wake up and spend a few minutes in bed before becoming active.

    Being a pilot is so very rewarding and many who are working through their journey using mainly creativity and learning how to live as cheaply as possible. I started my journey when I was in my late 30s and am still doing my main career. Flight lessons are crazy expensive, solo time as a rental is also crazy expensive but its worth it. $200/hr for the plane, plus $60/hr for the CFI.
