And speaking of sleep, I'm totally confused about the REM cycle. I remember once long ago, Matt (home Matt) taught me that the REM cycle lasts 8 hours, and the height of REM sleep is toward the end of the cycle, so if you're not going to get a full night's sleep, it's better to wake up after four than it is to wake up after six ( Read more... )

So I'm done importing all the CDs in my benno into iTunes. The maximum capacity of the Benno is about 180 CDs. Mine is not full to capacity, but I'd say that over the course of the past two weeks, I've imported about 150 CDs, bringing my total songs to 3011, which, played end to end, would be 8.3 days of music, and take up 11 gigabytes of space ( Read more... )

I woke up at 2am with a parched throat and tried to ignore it and go back to sleep but ultimately I decided I needed to get up and drink some water. I felt bug bites on my arm that I hadn't noticed before. When I got to the kitchen and turned on the light, I saw four large bug bites on my right arm in the shape of an arc. That worried me a ( Read more... )

Well I guess I freaked out a little at work today. Fortunately nobody noticed because I freaked out into my livejournal, so I guess I freaked in ( Read more... )

39. The voices!There's usually a lot of noise going on in my head before I go to sleep. It only starts up after my eyes have been closed for a while, but I'm still very much awake. Sometimes it'll be music and other times it'll be a lot of voices and yet other times it'll just be nondescript noise. It always starts gradually, so gradually that I ( Read more... )

I rang up Robin Williams at work. Don't ask me what he bought; I don't remember. He was very soft-spoken and polite. I asked him for his email address and he declined. He asked me where the nearest ATM was, and I told him ( Read more... )

Have you ever actually felt yourself nodding off to sleep? Probably not unless you were jolted awake at that crucial point. Last night I was peacefully fading, a moment I probably wouldn't have remembered had it not been interrupted by a horrible creaking sound coming from my window ( Read more... )

Well, not quite hibernation, but I did sleep for about 17 hours. Yesterday, I woke up at 4:30am to go to work, after about 90 minutes of sleep. After work, I stopped by M@ & Tracy's to see their new puppy. ADORABLE. So adorable I fell asleep on Tracy's bed. When I woke up (like 15 minutes later), I decided I should continue the sleep in my own ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had to wake up at 5:30am, so naturally I went to bed at around 2am the night before. Then I spent the day at work, went to Laura's to help her pack, and went to Naomi's to celebrate Cassie's birthday play Monopoly ( Read more... )
