I went to bed at 4am last night and woke up at 7am. I almost decided to go right back to sleep, but I forced myself to stay awake. I am thinking like normally. I haven't noticed my reactions to be slower or paused, and I haven't found myself staring into nothingness as many polyphasic first-week zombies do. But the zombie state may come later as the effects of getting less sleep build up. The increased hunger already kicked in full force. I ate more than enough around 7:10am, but when 10am rolled around, my stomach felt as empty as this morning. I have been rather productive for only having three hours of sleep, working on some projects, getting forms and paperwork in order, even looking up potential class and certification options.
But, I am tired. I don't have a headache, but I do feel that pressure that could lead to a headache. It might be my hat is on too tight... And I have felt that slight exhaustion that encompasses your whole body, as if it were lying under your skin, constantly reminding you that sleep would be incredibly nice. I'll nap at 4:30-6:00pm tonight and see which way it tips me on the scale of sanity.
