NLP Practitioners be aware for yourself and your clients how important a good night’s sleep is. It is great that through New Code processes we can probably get a few more choices for how to resolve this for yourself or for others. If your client is trying to perform optimally, than any signs that indicate a lack of good sleeping patterns should also be addressed.
Lack of sleep ‘linked to early death’ from the BBC.
Insomnia
Not too little sleep, yet not too much, the experts advise
Excerpt…
Getting less than six hours sleep a night can lead to an early grave, UK and Italian researchers have warned. They said people regularly having such little sleep were 12% more likely to die over a 25-year period than those who got an “ideal” six to eight hours. They also found an association between sleeping for more than nine hours and early death, although that much sleep may merely be a marker of ill health.
Sleep journal reports the findings, based on 1.5m people in 16 studies.

New Code NLP is so much about patterns. Look for strange behaviours in people, patterns of relating, walking, dodging, greeting…
Noticing the larger patterns
So much to be said when we mentally speed up people we are modelling and this gives you a long-distance hint into what you can notice.
Ants metaphor
The study of human behaviour can be usefully likened to the way we study ants. Why do we notice that ants stop and communicate or swap something as they travel with each of the ants they pass? If you can see this movie where people look like ants, and that the work we do with NLP as a metaphor for trying to understand the behaviour of people (ants) and how they interact, relate, rock, sway, move, move faster/slower.
Life Edit
Also as another metaphor, maybe when you are replaying movies of your own day, your own representation of the day – maybe remembering this sequence may help you fast forward through your own day.

Relevance to New Code NLP and NLP – Processing of unconscious and conscious awareness – evidence of the unconscious awareness is prior to conscious processing… …unconscious representation of a visual object is processed for around one tenth of a second before it enters conscious awareness…

A novel temporal illusion, in which the cause of an event is perceived to occur after the event itself, provides some insight into the brain mechanisms underlying conscious perception. The illusion, described in the journal Current Biology by a team of researchers from France, suggests that the unconscious representation of a visual object is processed for around one tenth of a second before it enters conscious awareness.
Chien-Te Wu and his colleagues at the Brain and Cognition Research Centre in Toulouse used a visual phenomenon called motion-induced blindness, in which a constantly rotating background causes prominent and motionless visual stimuli to disappear and reappear, as demonstrated in the video below. Fixate on the flashing green spot in the centre, and you’ll notice that the surrounding yellow spots begin to disappear and reappear after about ten seconds. Then replay the clip and focus on any of the yellow spots; you’ll see that it is a visual disappearance illusion. Exactly how it works is unclear; according to one hypothesis it is due to the properties of neurons in area V1 of the visual cortex.

The researchers first used a variation of these stimuli to test the occurence and duration of the motion-induced blindness effect. In these pre-test trials, seven participants were presented with a static yellow ring on a rotating background, and asked to report when the ring disappeared from and reappeared to conscious awareness, by respectively pressing and releasing a button. read more…
