Within the cyclical tests of your patience and the extent to which you can operate the vessel beyond sleep, one must be aware of how their vessel reacts. There is a word of caution to be had within these stints, that should one stay too long within them, the vessel will, once again, adapt. These tests are to feel new and different, and throughout one must be able to place where the baseline is. As the ability to do that lessens, that is the indicator of when to stop and reset before trying again. Sink too far into a test, and you’ll create a new baseline. This is where many can find themselves in a ‘rut’ or otherwise burnout. It is a test, less so a new lifestyle.

Use discernment.
