Well, my biphasic sleep has run into a new issue, what to do if I wake up in the middle of a nap. I usually just extend my nap by about 30 minutes, but that introduces another problem. It makes me wake up later with my night nap, and usually late enough that I yet again can't justify getting up early and just sleep until I HAVE to get up. That's how the last few days have gone, with the exception of yesterday.
Yesterday night was a full luner eclipse, so I was all rallied up and didn't want to go to sleep 20 minutes later. Hopefully tonight I can get myself up in the morning.
A note about the eclipse, we could actually see the reddish tint very well at all due to how bright it was outside from things being all covered with snow (gotta love NE Ohio's lake effect snow :D) It also definitely wasn't city lights since we're pretty much in the boondocks. You could see individual shadows and tree branches for goodness sake, and it was 10:30pm! (note, it was brighter than a full-moon summer night) I'll see if I can get a picture tonight, though the snow is currently melting so I'll probably have to wait until it snows again (which, knowing NE Ohio, won't be long).
Oh! I forgot to mention in my last, there was thundersnow! It was at around 12:20am EST Feb. 10. And before the thunder, there was lightning! Now it only happened once, but oh man I wasn't gonna sleep well that night, completely threw me for a loop. The next day was practically a blizzard. XD (we even got school off that Monday due to -20ish degrees F wind chill)
My Colemak layout skills are coming along pretty well. I'm already up to 25wpm, but my accuracy still needs a decent amount of work.
And then there my alarm I use for biphasic sleep to wake me up... For the last several days I've either slept through it or my alarm isn't going off (which it says it did). Though, what's REALLY odd is for the last two days, I've woken up about 12 minutes after the alarm supposedly starts. (the alarm lasts for 15 minutes before turning itself off). So today I told my mom what time my alarm goes off at and to listen through my bedroom door if it is indeed going off and I'm just sleeping through it. But go figure, I end up waking to the alarm going off normally at the time I've set it at. What the crap. *sigh* I guess I'll just keep having my mom check if my alarm is going off, and if I keep waking up fine then I'll probably stop asking her to then. For safety though, I set a second alarm a minute after the normal one goes off, but at 1.5x the loudness.
...and my mom randomly decided that she was too hungry to wait until dad came home and made dinner now. So I need to end this post.
