    How do I make myself not oversleep?

    I'm starting on Everyman again, because I have a couple weeks of spring break before I have to go back to school. So I can get over the initial sleep deprivation without compromising my classes.

    Anyways, how do I keep myself from oversleeping? My brain seems not to function on the mornings.

    This morning when my alarm went off, I had some clothes sitting on it so I could get dresses and go walk around the block, have some tea, etc. I sat there saying to myself, "Why would I ever want to go polyphasic? Would it be useful ever? I shouldn't even try this." And went right back to sleep. It was so weird, however. Kind of like I was in a clueless dream. I believed this without any uncertainty, while I failed to realize all of the advantages and reasons that I wanted to go polyphasic.

    So, does anybody have any ideas?

    I'm thinking that maybe I can write a note saying, "Stephen, remember why you originally wanted to go polyphasic. Think for a couple minutes, then put these clothes on and go for a walk." Since I'm as oblivious as I am in a dream in the morning, maybe I'll blindly follow that advice or become lucid in waking life.
