Today's post is a double header for days 5 and 6. We ended up not writing yesterday's blog entry due to an exciting movie event of Star Trek: First Contact followed by a Star Trek Series 1 episode: Naked Time during the wee hours of the morning.
My sore throat disappeared, leading me to believe it was related to the SCUBA practice more than anything. Health for both of us seems fairly strong. Our alertness during the day is still great followed by a groggy time in the early mornings. Though I think the total groggy time is decreasing.
We had some oversleeping problems in the past few days but not for more than an extra 30 min or so. Once I forgot to switch my alarm from PM to AM. Another time, I set the alarm for the wrong hour. I wonder if these careless mistakes are due to decreased mental function. I have also noticed I am more forgetful and struggle with words more than usual. We are still optimistic despite these setbacks. I think it will have little impact on our overall goals but may push back the timescale to fully adjust to a 30 min sleep cycle.
On Saturday we had a nice writing session at a smoothie shop for a few hours. Sunday we decided to work at the CfA all day to catch up on research. I only had one other lucid dream, but most of my naps contain dreams now. I hope I will be able to control them with modest frequency before the end of the experiment.
Summary:
Energy Levels: Again pretty good in the day. The nights are getting better as well, though slowly.
Health: No problems so far. *crosses fingers*
Daily Functioning: I notice I am more forgetful and struggle to find words sometime.
Academic Performance: Good, though I think I get more frustrated than normal when something doesn't work.
Social Performance: No change.
Maggles concurs with the above.
