Being Nocturnal

Lately I’ve become monophasic only to realize that I’m unable to go to bed before 5:00 am. The result is that I’m almost entirely nocturnal. Yesterday I woke up at 5:00pm after having gone to bed at 7 am and the sun had already set. It was a little disorienting but fun. Unfortunately my classes tomorrow morning are in fact during the day so I’m going to have to switch to a more feasible schedule

It was a fun thing to do over a weekend though, and over-sleeping these last few days has been pretty relaxing. There’s something about being awake when everyone else is asleep that feels a bit surreal. Everything is dead quiet, like the entire world is on pause and I have all that time to myself. I had forgotten how awesome that is… maybe I should take up everyman again. I could probably use the time this week.

While I was never really successful in my adaptation to uberman, the really neat thing is that I’ve trained myself to switch between different sleeping times really fast. I doubt that jet lag will ever be much of an issue again.

    For a few minutes last night, I thought I was you.

    But then I realized that I was just up really late at night and eating an orange…

    Looking forward to seeing you when I get back, man.
