Is Leo just the guy with the least brain fog?

[Butters]

If enlightenment is a dial, like Leo said, then is Leo just the guy with the least brain fog? 

Is this a good way to see it? If not, why not?

I think it’s mind blowing with his health problems that he doesn’t have brain fog

[Leo Gura]

No, this is a bad way to see it.

What does it feel like? Is it like a hangover?

I've never had a hangover so I wouldn't know.

It feels like your mind isn't clear, isn't working well, sluggish and stuck, skipping beats, slipping tracks.

A hangover is sleep deprivation because whatever substance you took the night before impaired your sleep and you couldn’t enter deeper stages of sleep so you wake up the next day with a headache or brain fog or both.

lol a hangover is not just sleep deprivation, I'd take zero sleep over some of my worst hangover's any day.

It also tends to be dehydration and nutrient depletion and exhaustion caused by the depleting/demanding requirements of substances. coupled with very poor recovery at night.

Yeah its a lot of compounding factors, plus ethanol itself is toxic so your directly poising yourself on top of all these other side effects.

No. Leo has modeled and implemented principles in his life that allow him to see the truth at the level he does.

A hangover is usually dehydration. You can still sleep for hrs and wake up with a hangover. You enter into deep sleep automatically after a certain about of time has elapse, unless you keep waking up before the REM stage begins.
