Power Naps And Hacking Sleep

Tim — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 02:04:54 +0000

I just attempted to take a power nap. At first I tried to take a 15 minute one, but right when I was almost asleep my dog, Mindy, who was in my room, started barking! Ahh! Then I tried to go to sleep again for 20 minutes. I didn’t ever really fall asleep, well, I don’t think so. It was peaceful at least.

I did this because I am tired and I read about it at Life Hacker. The article referred to an article in Men’s Journal intitled ‘Snooze, You Win.’ The article said that there are five stages of sleep. By only sleeping only 20 minutes you stay in the light, but restful stage and arn’t groggy when you wake up.

I believe that this would work if I had followed the other rules for good power naps listed in the article. Such as napping in the morning or just after lunch and not drinking a sugared drink right before trying to nap. Another article just about sleep in general, including what sleep is, sleep patterns, how much sleep most people need of different ages. It’s called ‘Sleeping Well’ and it’s over at Royal College of Psychiatrists

Processors are so hot you could fry an egg on ‘em! link
By the way the title of this post is a palindrome that I came up with in ten seconds. I’m also tired, hense the ‘Toha’ instead of what I was thinking of: ‘Taho.’ Darn right, night dislexia! :)

The dominant species is women and they are doing experiments on men.

So, what have we learned tonight? Never let women do anything to you regarding appearance, for if you do you will be humiliated for the rest of the night or even longer, forever. Not to mention you may look like a girl and smell like one too. And another thing, you may find yourself feeling low and even used or possibly disgusted with yourself, for when you take out the hair thingies or take off the make-up you will be ignored for the rest of the night, even though the “playing with your hair” was the most memorable highlight to everyone at the party. Men, I plead with you, please, please, please don’t let girls turn you in to one of them with their cruel experiments.
