Übersleep 3: Breakthrough and Worry
Friday August 14th, 2009
BREAKTHROUGH! I had a dream in today’s 8am nap and then again (a different dream) in the 4pm nap! This means that my body has adapted and is ready to grant me some REM time even if I don’t sleep 90 minutes or more in one go. Its refusal to do so during the initial days is the main reason for being sleep-deprived. Now I am hoping for a swift recovery as I get more and more of the kind of sleep that I need.
Today however I have been feeling tired and out of sorts throughout the day. Not the zombie kind of tired like yesterday, but I also haven’t had any more lucid spells during which I could work or study. The naps leave me almost as tired as I am when starting them, when otherwise most of them would be refreshing. From what I understood, I don’t have another breakthrough target, what’s left to do is simply to let the Überman schedule become an ingrained habit, so I’m a bit worried about this strange state.

How much coffee (or similar stuff) are you gobbling down?
And as for your eyes… play blind while you are walking around the apartment? I used to do that when I was a kid, for some reason.

I never drink coffee. These days I also haven’t drunk tea or other drinks containing caffeine with the exception of 100ml of Pepsi on a few nights of adaptation. Never more than that and none of it last night…
