I am catching up with posting online my articles.
Now - once I finished my experiment with sleeping as little as possible - I am more relaxed about it. And thus I had a night when I slept about 8 hours and couple of nights when I slept 6-7 hours but in general I do not cross the 6 hours mark.
But then I also had few nights when I slept less than 4 hours. Or I sleep for 2-3 hours around midnight, then I get up and do something around the house and I go back to sleep in the morning hours around 6 am.
And you know what ?
Every time I sleep less than 4 hours or when I "jump" out of the generally accepted as "healthy normal" pattern of sleeping continuously for 6-8 hours night and breaking it into 2-3 blocks, I feel incredible satisfaction and joy.
Once I slept only 2 hours and then the following night I had to "pay for it" as I was tired and I needed to sleep for 8 hours but still I felt this great satisfaction of breaking the normal pattern of sleep.
Last night I had an interesting experience. I was asleep but at the same time I was aware that I was asleep. I had some not real sensation or perceptions ( dream-like ) because I felt as if somebody was pulling my legs and trying to say something. I was not sure what was happening and thus I "forced" myself to come out of sleep and see what is going on. Immediately the sensations of me being pulled by my legs disappeared. And so I regret a little bit that I woke up instead of observing what is going on further. This was the first time in my life when I was so aware that I am asleep. Maybe it was just another illusion of my mind like the other "normal" dreams. But it does not matter. I have not got anything practical out of it so I do not really need to think about it anymore.
