Hello again.<\/p>\n

I’m still alive.\u00a0 Unlike some of you have suggested (Sergio!) my pineal gland<\/a> has not exploded, and I have not finally fallen asleep for 3 days :).\u00a0 I was just a little busy, that’s all.\u00a0 The processing of the sleep graphs is a lengthy and repetitive task which I’m still automating.\u00a0 But until then it’s quite time consuming. \u00a0 For now you can find all my sleep data on a public evernote notebook<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 The Elephant is the Evernote<\/a> logo (as in elephant memory), and evernote is a very useful note-taking, web-clipping application.\u00a0 I can push a button on my phone and upload my sleep charts to it, so pretty useful!\u00a0 From those charts I create these overviews (by hand with image editor gimp<\/a>):<\/p>\n

As you can see the days 13 and 14 were not ideal in terms of naps.\u00a0 It would either take me long to fall asleep (red tall bars) or I would get little REM (green bars).\u00a0 In spite of that I am feeling surprisingly well.\u00a0 However I wouldn’t say that my body handles the naps equally.\u00a0 There is still an inertia in my body telling me that the night is for sleeping and the day to be awake.\u00a0 However it’s starting to get confused.\u00a0 My 7am<\/strong> naps have usually been 80% REM, re-energising and easy to fall into.\u00a0 The last days have shown light sleep and 10 – 15mn<\/strong> of waiting.\u00a0\u00a0 The 12am<\/strong> and 5pm<\/strong> used to be a ladder: wake->light->deep.\u00a0 But weird patterns are showing up.\u00a0 This may be my body adapting.\u00a0 We’ll see the evolution in the next days.<\/p>\n

Here are my subjective annotations (the 1-10 scale can be found in this post<\/a>):<\/p>\n
