Polynapping in Vancouver
"The rest and the spell of sleep in the middle of the day refresh the human frame far more than a long night. We were not made by Nature to work, or even play, from eight o’clock in the morning till midnight. We throw a strain upon our system which is unfair and improvident. For every purpose of business or pleasure, mental or physical, we ought to break our days and our marches into two."

First REM Experience
I think I just hit REM on my last nap.
It’s weird to think it was that quick, and seems kind of unreal, but it seems like all the parameters were there:
- I set my alarm clock for 1:10PM
- I started my nap around 12:50PM
- I woke up at 12:59PM and before even checking out my alarm clock, I was already telling myself: “Oh shit, I just missed the alarm, I’ve been sleeping for 5 hours”.
- I checked the alarm clock and pretty much remembered some dream.
I feel like I’ve slept an entire night and that I’m already living Friday :)
It probably won’t happen again before tomorrow I guess, given that I am “well” rested now.
All right, back to work!
