I'm thinking of trying the Uberman sleep schedule. Not starting right now, because my current schedule won't allow for it. But as soon as I can, I think I will. I got a good taste of its potential benefits this morning. Last night I was really bored and I couldn't go for a long walk because it was raining like a bitch (I tried but only made it around the block before I was too wet to continue comfortably). So I just realized that I was tired enough to go to sleep early, at about 8. Of course, I didn't stay asleep, waking up at 12. I tried going back to sleep, but I got up and did a few things several times, and pretty much ended up tossing around and thinking for as long as I could recall. At some point my alarm clock must've gone off because when I did finally awaken it had been turned off. At some point I finally slept. It must've been after 8, which is when my alarm would've gone off. I had this crazy dream.
I was at a concert of some band that I like. I think it might've been Weezer, which would make sense because I also recently read that they'll be in Japan in May. But I was the only damn person there, and I was right up in front of the stage and for some reason (totally unlike me) dancing. Then finally a whole bunch of other people showed up and started sitting down in their proper seats, but I called to them to come join me up in front of the stage and they did. One of those people was Kou, and I started talking to her. But then this short skinny guy with a shaved head [at first I thought it was Ken, but then he turned out to be white and be-mustached] showed up out of nowhere and started trying to bootydance with her. She elbowed him in the kidney and he crawled off. Then I spaced out for a bit and when I returned to reality Kou was gone. After looking for her a bit a phone just appeared out of nowhere in my hand and started ringing. I picked it up and it was this kindly old man who said Kou was with him. He said she was upset because I didn't do anything when she was being molested by that guy [though in reality I would have picked him up by his head an flung him a few miles before she'd even have noticed him]. She had cried, but felt better now, so this guy told me where he house was so I could come pick her up. But the whole thing turned out to be a setup. I was baited by the evil organization that was out to get me for some reason, and the old man's house was there hideout. I don't remember everything that happened in the hideout, except that at some point I turned into Jackie Chan, and then rescued Kou while escaping from their hideout by swining around on some construction equipment. Even after escaping that time, I knew the evil organization was out to get me, so I went to England to hide. Then it was all downhill. Kou apparently didn't go with me, as she didn't want to place herself in more danger. I was hiding out in the cellar of some old castle, and the ceiling dripped something I called "veal juice" and I collected it in jars. That part was screwy. Then I went to some store and bought a replica of some ancient Japanese dress for gosenokuen, or roughly $3.8 billion. I don't know why either... Then I rode sitting on a skateboard home to my castle. The way home went through some Japanese-British colony, and I spoke to some little Japanese kids. One of them was crawling along side me and I accidentally rode over one of its fingers with my skateboard. It looked like it was about to cry, and I tried to apologize, but then I woke up.
Despite the bizarre/crappy ending, I woke up feeling really refreshed. Considering how refreshed I felt my first thought was "Okay, how many hours of school have I missed?" but then it turned out to be only 8:30. So after just half an hour of sleep I felt better than a normal 8 hours sleep. That dream was pretty vivid, so it must've been half an hour of pure REM sleep. That feeling didn't last too long as I didn't get to take any subsequent half hour REM naps, but hopefully I'll just get to sleep normally tonight. Although lately the two people living in the apartment to my left, both of whom are rather unattractive have been doing rather ecchi-sounding things at night. Just the thought of it is really chigau, but it's hard to avoid when their bed is banging up against my wall -_-
