in what can only be considered a twist of irony, i've discovered something that could be amazing. i might actually need -less- sleep to feel better.
last night i went out to hunz and after dropping pete/dash/brendan home and showering, i didn't end up getting to bed until 1am. and i slept brilliantly - all the way through. when my alarm went off at 8am i was shocked to wake to find that i felt amazing. previously seven hours sleep was enough to leave me feeling severely damaged but with wakeups that could've easily been reducing it to five. i realised not long after that the only other time i've slept all the way through since i started this experiment in trying to solve why i wake up so many times for water in the middle of the night was my last night at port douglas when i stayed up until 1am.
now that i've mostly sorted the water intake problem and the sleeping habits themselves, it's possible that actually being more tired when i go to bed by pushing out my wake time to 1am is actually making me tired enough that when whatever remaining thirst kicks in at night, i'm already in a deep enough sleep rhythm to sleep through it. who'd have thought?
after all this being tired and looking like shit, maybe i actually need less sleep. that would be bizarre, and totally awesome. extra hour of being awake = my life just increased by 1/24th.
