Having no good or even decent ideas for an article, I decided to post what the past couple of days have been for me. However, since I have been too lazy/busy/thought it was somewhat pointless to keep an hour by hour log, I'll just share my general observations.
It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Its been 3 days and 2 nights since I last "normally" slept, and I don't feel that bad. The naps do the job of acting as replacements for sleep, but only sometimes. If the nap has dreams (REM sleep), then I wake up refreshed and ready to go. It feels like I had slept for much longer, say, 6 hours or so, and I feel good, like after a good night's sleep. This feeling usually wears off by the next nap time.
However, if there are no dreams, then I wake up groggy, sleepy, and life seems to suck. The feeling subsides after an hour of wake time, but its still not a very happy period. Still, its not that hard to function, and its just hard to stay awake at night.
However, there have been some side effects. Its a bit harder to focus on things since I am sleepier, and I have found that I forget things. Forgot that I had no lunch today (and then went and ate some since I WAS hungry), and also forgot to bring my cellphone when i left the house (which doesn't happen at all nowadays). I can still ride a bike, hang out with friends, but I don't know if my concentration will get worse or better.
Now, the best part. The time at night is awesome :) There is time to do anything you want without it interfering with hanging out with friends (your social life). I made the blog a little bit better, read some books, looked up things online that I needed to look up for a while, and played Star Sonata (did a lot of things there as well). Its pretty awesome, and all you asian kids out there, think of how much you'd be able to study?
