1 May<\/h2>\n

I did it again. I overslept.\u00a0The cause was a mixture of tiredness and fun. I was really enjoying\u00a0the fascinating dream I was in (at 3:05<\/strong>, time of the alarm, I was\u00a0towards the end of the REM phase). Unfortunately I can’t remember my\u00a0dream … but the people involved, and the fun or interesting things\u00a0happening did make me think … “I can’t let go of this one … let me\u00a0just enjoy one more minute of it and try to remember it.” Yep\u00a0… instead of “one more minute” I ended up with 3 full episodes of REM! \u00a0Since I got 2 extra hours<\/strong>, I’ll skip the 6h30<\/strong> nap (in an hour) and stay awake until\u00a0my mid-day one. This might help me reset my schedule back to nap\u00a0earlier as I had been drifting later and later for the last few days.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly after sleeping those 5:26<\/strong>, I was quite tired for most of the day and morning.\u00a0That’s more hours than I’ve slept all the previous days … but I almost feel like\u00a0those days when I used to oversleep 10h<\/strong> and then feel groggy and craving a nap all day.<\/p>\n

It seems like readapting today is going to be difficult. After only about half an hour awake I was already having difficulties. To help me cope I’ve added about 20 granules of coffee to my decaf-tea. This will have to be my last coffee intake after this “oversleeping” to come back as quickly as possible to the old Everyman-3 Schedule.<\/p>\n

During my 6am nap I snoozed 15mn to continue dreaming. But that only gave me 10mn of dreaming and then 5mn of light sleep which has made the waking up very difficult.<\/p>\n

\"sleep(2012\/05\/02, (3:00,5),(3:10,5.5),(3:20,6),(3:40,5.5), (3:55,6,”itchy eyes, tired”),(4:14,5, “nodding off, … need to get up”), (5:00,5,”tired”),(5:40,6,”some waking”),(5:53,”nodding off again”))<\/p>\n

The naps felt great today.\u00a0 Very refreshing and re-energizing.<\/p>\n

\nI hastingly set the alarm at 6:15 … for 7:45 … without thinking that I actually needed it for 6:45. The phone usually confirms … “your alarm will be in … 30mn” … but I wasn’t paying much attention so I gave myself an extra hour by mistake. It became a good hour of REM followed by some looong (possibly wasteful) light sleep!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think I need to get back to the discipline of waking up immediately.\u00a0 Snoozing often results in light sleep, over sleeping and drowsiness.\u00a0 I need to remember my motivation<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
