I am not dead! I just haven't posted anything for a few days because I really have had nothing really new to report on. My days are fully alert and the nights are getting a bit better but are still a little hard. I oversleep a little here and there but nothing too bad.
One new thing I must report on, as I said before I was going to be taking the ACT today. So last night I did something risky, I tried to stop the Uberman, big mistake. I figured that since I have overslept here and there on accident that I can easily purposefully oversleep. Nope. I just sat there, awake and fully alert, until 2 where then I fell asleep, only to wake up about 45 minutes later. So I turned to plan B. Plan B is a CD that my mother has had for years that I borrowed at the beginning of this experiment. It is supposedly supposed to put out Delta Waves and help you sleep better. The original plan was for me to use this as a way to go to sleep during my naps, but further reading made me change my mind because it seems like it was only going to keep me OUT of REM sleep. But since I was having trouble sleeping this night I might as well try it because I was going to be sleeping for several hours and wanted as deep as a sleep as possible. Well I don't know what Delta Waves do to a normal person but for me it didn't put me to sleep. Well kinda I sat there like before just alert as can be, but more relaxed I do have to say and I know I fell asleep a few times because I remember waking up a few times during the night. The big thing it did was give me these very relaxed day dream sort of dreams. I knew I was awake and I knew I was just laying there but I was very very relaxed and I knew I was in the process of falling asleep. It was like my imagination was running on overdrive. A hallucenation? I don't think so, I have experienced these before while not on Uberman and they are always right before I fall asleep (which I did more then once during the night). I woke up several times during the night for a brief second and then slip into a half dream for a minute and then wake up and see the time had changed a half hour to an hour or so. Defiantly strange.
Well Monday is the first day back at school. Hopefully I can keep this up.
