i woke up at 716 today

that was a little strange. about an hour early. did not sleep too well either, turmoil in the dreams and trouble staying in deep sleep. i was very aware that i was trying to sleep, and so it felt like i was in bed forever even though it was only ~3.5 hours. i ended up waking about an hour before my usual time, which i think is because i forced myself to bed to get sleep because i knew i was going to need it.

i wasn't tired at the usual time (beyond it actually) because i got two 15 min naps in the afternoon/evening and one long nap from 9-11 pm. haven't had a chance to nap at all the last couple days and i think it started taking a toll on me, especially with yesterday being so busy. i didn't get less busy, though - it was almost like i was overclocking my body. i was very hot at the end of the day, after being outside most of the day in a pretty stiff wind with only a thin dress shirt on. i did feel like i handled the conditions better than i have in the past, which was nice. i feel more caught up on sleep now than i did yesterday, so that's good.

the dreams, though... they are troublesome.
