I am catching up with posting online my articles.
This is the continuation of the previous article:

EXPERIMENTING WITH THE SLEEP AGAIN - PART 25 - DAY 13
Last night I stayed awake at night and I went to bed only early in the morning after 5 am. I slept about 2.5 hours.
When I woke up with the alarm my first thought was "WTF are you doing Greg to yourself !?". I said it because I was tired but because I had early appointment with my client so I could not stay in bed longer. I had to get up and start getting ready.
The tiredness dissipated relatively quickly within few minutes and then I was glad that I slept very short and I got up out of bed despite feeling "tired".
And I also realised why I am doing this experiment. I realised why I am going against the logic and against the "sane" humanity thinks and regards as sane, normal and natural ( 8 hours sleep at night ).
Look... not always but quite often when I sleep little or nothing at all I feel some kind of internal joy. I could compare it to being enclosed in a prison and then desperately trying to get out of there. And so I dig up the tunnel. And even though everybody else thinks that this is insane what I am doing and then also everybody thinks that this is not possible I get from time to time to the point when I make a little hole in the wall and I see the sparkle of light shining through. And then I also come close to that hole and I get the sip of fresh air.
And this sip of fresh air and the sight of the sparkles of light gives me joy and hope that I am on the good way to become free. Yes... I feel tired from digging up the hole in the hard walls with bare hands. But it all does not matter because I know that what I am doing is not insane and getting out of the prison is something possible. It is just a matter of continue digging up.
But then comes the hard reality. The tunnel collapses and the debris cover up the hole through which I got see the sparkle of light and I could get the sip of fresh air.
So what do I refer to as the hard reality ?
Well... as I said last night I slept 2.5 hours and I stayed awake all day. Towards the end of the day I felt tired and somebody told me that my face and eyes look very tired ( thinking that I went clubbing last night ) and so when I got home I decided to lie down on the bed to get the 17 min sleeping break. Unfortunately I did not get up after the alarm went off and I stayed longer in bed. And so I woke up 5 hours later at 2.45 am. Now I feel very tired and I have the "hangover" symptoms - a bit of headache and tires eyes.
So this was my Day 14 of my experiment.
