20 minutes is too long. You can get similar benefits by performing a few minutes of depth jumps to shock the central nervous system.

I agree - don't talk a walk, it's an unnecessary hit on your productivity. But, depth jumps require you to get up, which again seems unnecessary to me if you can just taser the CNS directly to wake it up.

Because this is HN, I don't know if this is sarcasm or not.

Like an actual taser?

To get primed for the day, my protocol involves 3 cycles through a cold plunge (28 degree salinated water) and a sauna. On the third cold plunge I use the taser to boost the CNS.

Would not recommend this unless you’ve studied the Wim Hof method and have medical supervision.

Really not sure if this is satire.

I’ve tried this method at a spa, it’s pretty effective. I’ve looked into getting a Japanese style soaking tub for my spare bathroom so I could also fit a sauna and just do it at home, but it’s still not enough space. I would user a lower voltage taser probably if I was doing it myself.

I would not recommend mixing electricity with salt water.

No, that would require moving your arm, which seems unnecessary. A figurative one will have to suffice \s

It’s not just about that. You get time to process things in that 20 minutes.
