Day 1 nap 1

2008-12-24 04:11

At some point I think I woke up and I "heard" my dad talking to me, but this is impossible because my dad lives in a different city. It is possible that I did not in fact wake up and that this was just a dream, the other option would be that this was a hallucination. In any case I do not remember what my dad was telling me. This was sort of a weird experience. Whether or not I actually woke up, I felt that I went back to sleep. I definitely dreamed in the later part of my sleep.

Somehow it feels as though I appreciate my sleep more than when I sleep monophasically. Anyways I feel pretty alert now, so I will attempt to get some useful work done.

For the purpose of this blog I will introduce an energy and awareness scale (E&A). 0 on this scale means unable to stay awake and 10 means normal on a monophasic sleep schedule. Right now I would say I feel between 9 and 11. E&A: 9-11. 11 on this scale means I feel better than average. This scale is very subjective, and this is why I put a range. The range indicates the approximate degree of uncertainty. 

Another thing that I noticed is that it feels like my arms and legs are shaking/vibrating. But if I put my arms stretched out in front of me, I can see that neither my hands nor my arms are shaking. So if there is any shaking it occurs inside my arms, and legs. It may also be that this is just a sensation and that there is nothing actually shaking. Maybe that this is similar to shivering, but it is definitely not shivering because shivering is visible, and this is not visible.
