This last week has been filled with some poor sleep and major sleep rebound, where Thursday and Friday night I received about four hours of sleep (partially due to the bitter cold of my dorm and the constant noise across the hall, even at three in the morning), and I had a lovely sleep rebound session Sunday where I slept twelve wonderful hours. I woke up expecting to feel refreshed and rejuvenated, but to my shock and horror I felt pretty horrible. I had this "fog" all day and I couldn't really concentrate properly. Besides discovering the joys of sleep rebound I also proved one of our articles we read correct. This article highlights the point to "not over do the naps" and to keep them to twenty minutes only. Although at the moment you wake up the twenty minutes do not seem like enough, after walking around for a few minutes I felt great. I wasn't groggy or tired anymore. I guess less really is more! I haven't had any dreams to record in my lovely book I bought to conduct my own little research project, but I'm excited to start recording and analyzing them when they come!
