First nap where I actually hit REM sleep?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I dreamt I was meeting Tera again, no Chibi though. :( (I was sad about that) I’d managed to get off the plane and hadn’t gotten lost. Yay~ But I think I was wandering around looking for Tera, and there he was! I recognised you by the hat.

Didn get much further than that though as alarm woke me up.

It was a bit shakey though, I sort of knew I was dreaming. At least in the first bit, where there was also a bit of a dream where I was watching the puppies playflight, because they’re downstairs barking.

I think I mightve dreamt more than that but dreams shift around a bit and I dun remember. Something about kids and bikes and mcdonalds maybe and there was another bit where I was sitting here and messing with my little bottle of lavender oil but I spilt it and it reacted with something on the desk and turned into acid and started eating away at shit, and I’d got it on my hands and in my mouth. God knows what that was about.

Alarm woke me up just as we met and I woke up instantly, but feeling very groggy. 15 mins later the drowsyness is starting to fade a little.

Polyphasic Alarm Clock

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

This is the alarm clock I made to wake me up after a nap, I always sleep in the same room as my computer, so it works well. It’s written with Autohotkey, which you can download at the link.

The script itself is available here ( DOWNLOAD )

You have to edit in your own music file, at the moment, for me, it plays this.

When you press the hotkey (Defaults to alt-gr) A message box pops up asking you if you’d like to set the alarm, if you click yes, another message box appears telling you the time the alarm will go off. By default, it goes off after 30 minutes, as long as you leave the messagebox open, as it goes off it also locks the computer until you type in your login password, making it difficult to switch off in your sleep.

4 days in

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

4 days in, and this is what my chart looks like. The grey lines are planned naps and the very light blue are a halfway point for naps.

Today I changed my schedule from 12/4/8/12/4/8, to 11/3/7/11/3/7, it seems like a more convenient number, for some reason. Doesn’t look as pretty on the chart though.
