day 29
July 8, 2006
I awoke early this morning from the core without an alarm, but decided to go back to bed. I didn’t check the time, but guess it was within the 3 to 4.5hr time-frame of this experiment in which my core-sleep is 4.5 hours, but I’ll allow myself to get up from a core sleep anytime after three hous.
Score, 2/5, meaning that twice since I started this mini-experiment five days ago, I awoke without the need for an alarm. In both cases I decided to go back to bed. I’ve wondered why. Partly I know I’ll soon be busy enough, and want to enjoy the last few minutes of peaceful bedrest.
Uncharacteristically, none of my naps (7am, 11am, 3pm, and 7pm) were deep and high-quality, but rather more of meditation-sessions, almost like at the beginning of the entire experiment. I suspect I’ll sleep well tonight.
