Hi there,

Just a small update after many days without posting.

First, I continue being strict with my schedule. But unfortunatelly, excepting the events posted here before, I didn't get LDs. On my "sleep days" I wake up naturally at around 4.30am... maybe 5.30am... again at 6.30am... and I try to fall sleep before alarm hits at 7am. I just get some vivid regular dreams, some small awareness glimpses, but nothing special.

In any case, I noticed something in the last few days (maybe a week or a bit more). After lunch (which happens at 1.50PM after work), I sit at the sofa for a while, maybe 10 minutes, or even 20 if I got the time (I leave home at 2.40PM for work again).

The thing is that, as I sit there relaxed, in silence, with the sunlight entering the big (closed) window, I feel a strong urge for sleep. And I mean REALLY strong. If I let my eyes close a bit, the eyes start moving like crazy in all directions, vibrating. One day I set an alarm at 2.40 and tried to just relax and let me go. I'm not sure but I think I almost dreamt. I can feel myself go in as soon as 2 minutes.

I work on an office in front of the computer, and I don't feel specially tired... Not sure if it's the sleep deprivation, or the green tea I started having a couple of weeks back (as I reported on a previous post), but I want to try this on friday, that I don't work on afternoon, or even on saturday, and see what happens. Maybe that eye-vibrating means I'm ready for insta-REM??. The funny thing is that once I stand up from the sofa, I'm completely awake again. I just drive to the office and here I am... perfect.

Anyway, maybe CAT has nothing to do with this, who knows. About the method, not sure I should continue trying much more time, or maybe do another "reset" (7 days again at 5.30am) and try again... Once thing I would change is the time of going to bed. I'm not strict on that... it can be 10.15PM, or 11PM... (never later than that), but I guess it makes a difference.
