Polyphasic Sleep Experiment - Day 3

Monday Dec 24, 2018

Day 3.... seems to be the hardest so far. As tired as I am, I struggle to fall asleep. For some reason my mind starts thinking and it's hard for my body to get comfortable. I feel like it takes me 5-10 min to get to sleep, and when the 1/2 hour alarm rings, I feel like I just started dreaming. It also doesn't help that Todor's new place is cold AF; I found myself shivering several times last night.

Speaking of last night, we overslept by an hour and half during the Midnight nap (as mentioned yesterday). But when we did manage to get up at 2am, we unloaded everything from the truck. (Side note about the truck. Yesterday we went back around 9pm to load the rest of Todor's things. It took us 2 and half hours to load, and we were both tired and grumpy most of the time.) I was very very happy the unloading process took much quicker.

At 4am we went back to bed and overslept again (lol). This time we woke up at 6am (lololol). But our "excuse" was that we were so physically tired from moving that we needed the extra sleep. Indeed both of us are sore.

Todor drove the truck back to Uhaul and I followed him in my car. I find myself in almost a zen/zoned out state driving. Good thing there weren't many cars on the road. My reaction time and attention probably aren't at their peak right now.

Now we're back at my place, ostentensibl because I need to be here for my next AirBB guest. But also I just wanted to be somewhere where it's warm and comfortable, and quiet. At his new place there are 3 other roommates but it's a very open living arrangement (meaning, people are mostly in the common areas and only retire to the bedroom to sleep). As much as I'm an extravert, I've also have my limit of people interactions. And in my current brain dead state, I needed the quiet to recharge.

One last note. I feel like we're constantly sleeping but at the same time I'm constantly tired and groggy. It feels like the worst of both worlds in a way! I hope this gets better... At some point I want to incorporate workouts and rides back into my life. How's that gonna work?
