Day 3 - I Think

My 3:00am went well. I actually took it at about 2:30am.

I have been waiting til I am sure I am on my way to sleep before hitting the 25 minute timer. That way I make sure I get some sleep. I don't think it is necessary to cause total depravation to compress the sleep. I think if I just keep practicing the pattern several times a day it will start to become efficient. Sure, being more tired will help it come on sooner and sooner, but I think I'll give myself a chance to get at least a little sleep each session. This time it took about 20 - 25 minutes to really feel like I would sleep. I didn't finish the 25 minute time. I did sleep, but not deeply, and woke up about 5 minutes before. I figure that with the little slip offs before I ran the timer was probably enough. So total down time was about 40 minutes.

It's 4:00am, and I feel tired. For me tired is a feeling of tightness in my head, like I've dived underwater 20 feet and I feel the pressure on my head and sometimes my chest. I've never gone diving however.

Did I mention I have the munchies? I have a container of a bean dip from Lupe Tortillas that I am almost ready to go out and buy a bag of Doritos for. Sounds good for breakfast doesn't it? Only I am so tired I probably should not get near a vehicle. I may consider doing a ultradian cycle sleep this time because I do have to use a car this morning.

I plan to do another at around 5:00am.
