10:42 PM good night
I had a good day. I did not need a nap. I had a difficult but short time when right after lunch I started feeling sleepy while passively attending a webinar over ZOOM, but later, as soon as I switched to being actively involved in my work, that temporary sleepiness went away. And it was not particular bad, either. Just could not help closing my eyes a few times during the webinar.
I was moderately productive and managed to fit in a whole evening of exercise, sauna and stream room in the evening.
Last time, I had a very vivid and very difficult dream. Everyone was against me, including people who normally loved me. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I had to convince myself that it had been a dream and that I was not obligated to continue with that dream.
but in the morning, I had an unusually high sleep score on Oura – 82 – and lately I was in the 60s mostly. Oura asked me to tag what happened yesterday that might have helped the unusually high score. I tagged a hot shower, sauna and steam room. Oura responded by saying that users who tag steam room see a 2% increase in REM. Well, we will see if I continuously dream more after staying in the steam room.
