The Past 24 Hours…

went fairly well!  It’s now been 55 hours since I’ve had a full night’s rest, and I feel decent.  I’m still a bit sluggish, and I know if I laid down I would fall asleep, but I’ve been able to keep busy.  The key to this whole experiment is to not push yourself too hard.

I accidentally slept 2 hours for one of my naps, and last time around I would have beat myself up for it, but I know that I didn’t achieve REM because I had no dreams.  Due to a family emergency, I had to push back one of my naps for an hour, there was simply no getting around it.

Despite these “setbacks”  I’ve been feeling pretty good.  I’m sluggish when I wake up, but less so than last night.  Every nap seems to come easier and I’ve been able to get up on my own without much help at all.

I’ve continued to eat light after my naps, and rely on my friend to keep my up when I absolutely need it.  I feel that tonight won’t be very rough at all.  It will still be tough, but much more manageable.

I’m starting to dream during my naps, which is a huge plus.  I also have experienced time dilation for one of my naps as well!

Time Dilation

Time dilation occurs when you fall asleep for your nap, and wake up thinking that it’s a couple hours later.  You actually feel like you were asleep for 2, maybe even 3 hours.

This happened during one of my naps.  I woke up thinking that I had overslept, when I was actually right on time!  Pretty cool feeling, I must say.

Although it continues to add to my increasingly distorted view of time.  I feel like the past 2 1/2 days have run together.  I couldn’t figure out whether it had been 2 days since I started or just 1!  (I eventually pulled it together. )

I have some more thoughts to develop on this, which I will be expanding on tomorrow.  Actually, there are numerous odd things that have been happening during this trial that I’m planning on sharing, so stay tuned.

I have many other things on my to do list for tonight, so this update will be kept short, but I will be posting a meatier update tomorrow.  See you all then!

And for that Video I promised you…

The quality is a little spotty, it was dark.  As in 2 am dark.
