Day 8 - Thursday
Today marks the official 1-week mark of adoption. Unfortunately, today was messy, really messy, and I'm pretty pissed off about it.
My afternoon nap went as planned, but after my alarm sounded, I decided to lie in bed for a little bit to try and lucid dream. Bad idea- I fell asleep for another 30 min. I'm considering that a 30-min oversleep. I almost missed the thanksgiving lunch at my school.
Evening nap: I was so excited to lucid dream that I tried to WILD. Bad idea- I didn't catch any REM sleep, instead teeter-tottering on the brink of dreaming, trying to stay conscious and dream at the same time. I got really close to WILD'ing, but in my mind it wasn't worth essentially skipping my nap.
Nighttime sleep: for some reason, my roommate had his friend come and visit while he was out seeing Harry Potter at the movies- all night long. Naturally, the friend didn't want to go to sleep. So I had to endure the friend noisily entering and leaving as he pleased. Not to mention my roommate getting back and waking me up at 3:45, entering and leaving three distinct times. After being woken the third time, I had trouble falling back asleep.
So this upset me so much, I allowed myself a 15-minute oversleep in the morning on Friday. I woke up from that naturally, and I have had less sleep than is optimal. That's why I'm angry- this whole day could set me up for fatigue in the coming days.
Strangely: When I woke up on Friday (the day after this post), I was wide awake. I think it has to do with how you always feel more awake the day after having little sleep. Or maybe I'm just starting to adapt to the schedule?
Either way, I know I'll pay for this day in fatigue for the upcoming days.
