Polyphasic Sleeping: Day 4

Jun 09, 2010 02:15

Disaster strikes again, but at least I'm getting a little better. I actually woke up to my alarm for the 5am nap this time, except I remember feeling a little chilly, so I just pulled a warm robe/blanket around me and BAM... 7:45am. Again, there's room for improvement but my goal for the next 5am nap (which is coming up in the next 4 hours) is to ( Read more... )

You don't think seeing random images may be a tiny, tiny hallucination? :) I've read studies on REM deprivation, but I don't remember them well enough to tell if you can have it while awake. My first thought would be no, though.

Are you going to spend the weekend with Scott and Joel again? It seems like the teamwork could keep you on schedule in terms of getting up after naps.

I usually associate hallucinations with them being seemingly real, as in if I hadn't noticed I was sleep deprived I would have found it real and possibly odd. These images were just daydreaming images, vivid yes, but they didn't interact with my surroundings, therefore I'm not going to count it as one, but I can see why some people would.

I'd probably agree with you on the no REM while awake deal. I vaguely recall reading that REM occurs in deep sleep from hypnosis class. Go Sal Costa!

I'm unofficially sure that Joel stopped on Monday, but yes to answer your question I will be chillin' with Scott (and possibly Joel) this weekend. It really does make waking up easier, although I really enjoy all the solo activities I get to do at my house.
