@Paige: checking it out now, thank you. :3

@00: Yes, I'm hoping I can train myself to wake up naturally again. Most of the time when I wake up, it's very sporadic.

I did attempt it last night, and oh god, it was not a pleasant experience. Woke up just fine, stayed up for ten minutes (doesn't take me long at all to wake up), tried to go back to sleep. . . Two hours later, still awake. Kept flip flopping over, trying to relax, and eventually I got it to work. . . But I did notice something interesting. I would have snippets of dreams, I would think, but a second later I would get yanked out of them - my brain kept getting all distracted. So based on the first night, I think I'll have to give this some effort!
