awake from mid-dream

I just slept 9 hours. From 22:30 to 7:30.

I awoke without an alarm but my eyes feel so tired, so heavy. I awoke from a dream where I couldn't get the car I was driving to slow down. I was on a freeway and wanted to exit, but it seemed like the cruise-control was stuck. I had just been to a Sears store and bought a $30 Illinois sweater for under $12. I don't know why I left in a car. I thought I went there on some kind of bike. The only thing I looked at in the store was the sweater and after buying it I realized that I was about to leave the store without my socks and shoes. I don't know why I was barefoot since I hadn't taken them off.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 18

yesterday to 5:05 sleep.

It seems I don't really want to go back to polyphasic sleep. I just slept 7 hours in a row and I don't feel any better waking up than when I was only sleeping 30 or less minutes at a time. It will probably take a half hour to an hour to fully wake up.

6:05 - I have now been awake for an hour, but not fully awake. I can feel something around my eyes, maybe puffiness. It's strange. When I don't have enough sleep, I feel like I need more sleep. When I do have enough sleep, I feel the same.

7:10 to 7:30 and 8:10 to 8:30 nap. I was lying down from 6:45 to 8:37.


21:55 to 22:35 nap.

I don't feel like doing this any more. I think I'll just go back to sleeping however long I feel like sleeping. It's nice to be awake for a long period of time without getting sleepy.

Total for today: 6.5 hrs

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 17

0:00 to 0:15 nap.

1:30 to 2:10 nap.

2:15 to 8:20 sleep. I have a few days off so I've decided to work my way back into polynapping gradually. Maybe it won't work. I don't know. I wasn't awake enough earlier, so I just wanted to sleep awhile. Anyway, I'm doing this polyphasic sleep as a skill that I can use to adjust from night shift to day shift work.

10:06 to 13:42 sleep. After doing some studying, I took a nap to consolidate the information in my brain. I thought it would be only a short nap. You know, just let myself naturally wake up. So far, I've slept over 10 hours today. I will try the same study technique again and see if I sleep for so long.

21:53 to next day.

Total sleep today: 12.75 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 16

from yesterday 23:15 to 5:30 sleep.

Worked all day.

21:45 to 22:14 nap on train going home.
I actually slept past my station and woke up two stations down at the end-terminal station. I had to wait a few minutes for the train to head back. That's the first time that's happened to me.

I will be returning to my short naps.

Total for today: 6 hours

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 15

12:30 to 12:50 nap. The dreams make you feel like you had been sleeping for a long time, not just 15 or 20 minutes.

3:00 to 3:42 nap. This time, I set no alarms. I just intended to sleep for however long was necessary.

5:30 to 8:30 sleep.
14:06 to 14:26 nap. Not sure about this one. I don't know if I slept or not.
17:15 to 17:40 nap.
21:25 to 21:45 nap.

22:50 to 23:10 nap.

Since I'll be working tomorrow, I've decided just to get a long period of sleep tonight.

23:15 to (see the next post)

Total for today: 6 hrs.
