Its past five a.m. and I am awake.

I laid down for bed just after 11 p.m.
I woke up around one a.m.
I stared at the ceiling til 2 a.m.
I read a book and listened to the radio til 3 a.m.
I laid back down and stared at the ceiling again til 3:30 a.m.
I drove around til 4:30 a.m.
I am still awake.

Ever have that night, where insomnia kicks in. You're tired, but not. You're awake but not. Its a long night. Good news is I finished my book. Time to pick up another one (actually I have a book I started but put down for some leisure reading instead of informative text).

I've been getting the idea lately that my sleep patterns are a little off. A normal sleep cycle looks something like this.


Now compare that with this graph of my sleep. I got this from an app on my iPhone. Apparently by measuring your sleep movement it can tell how deep of sleep you are in. While not 100% accurate, I'm pretty sure it paints a decent picture. This is from Sunday night, and is a typical graph for my sleep.



See. Its bizarre. Apparently by the time I reach my first REM most people have had two full cycles. Whatever. Point is I am awake. And not asleep. Like awake right now. Which by all means sucks.
