🛏️ DOCTRINE XX — SLEEP & RECOVERY: MAINTENANCE OF MOTION

Core Law
Recovery is motion’s maintenance cycle.

Overview
Recovery isn’t retreat — it’s regulation.
The disciplined rest so they can remain in command. The Vector Male understands that exhaustion masquerades as dedication but functions as drift.

The Science of Motion
During deep sleep, the body repairs tissue, consolidates memory, and restores hormonal balance. Neglecting rest deteriorates decision-making and control — measurable drift.

The Vector Interpretation
Rest is motion inverted.

Stimulation without restoration burns engines.
Discipline includes downtime — structured, intentional, earned.

Application: Recovery in the Field

1. Schedule rest. Precision applies to pause, too.

2. Create sleep rituals. Consistency regulates circadian rhythm.

3. Eliminate digital stimulation before sleep. Guard the signal.

4. View recovery as readiness training.

The Drift Test
Ask: Am I resting to restore or to escape?

Directive
Recharge with intent.
A rested system sustains precision — fatigue breeds drift.
