I have a psych appointment for next week, hooray!
I'm really kind of excited to talk to a professional about my whole deal. Probably way overdue for this.
Does Fitbit know that I have frozen in place trying to fall asleep, or does it think that's sound sleep?
I don't use Fitbit, but I'm curious about how my sleep app tells me I slept great for 8+ hours and I am so tired when I'm getting up.
My sleep app (Morpheuz, for the Pebble) has never once told me I've gotten a good night's sleep. I routinely spend 30% of the night "Awake?" according to how much the app thinks I move around.
Fitbit sez:
LAST NIGHT 4h 23min asleep
You were awake for 2 mins (1x) and restless for 88 mins (8x)
Yeah, I was so awake for so much longer than that, just trying to fall asleep, or that weird mid-sleep space of infinite plausibility--I got a fascinating half-lucid PBS drama about alt universe royals.
From way back:
Anyone use Espionage Cosmetics? It's a for nerd by nerd line.
I haver their Nailed It! polish strips in Burtonesque (go on, look surprised, I dare you), but I haven't tried any other products from them.
Another person who had hallucination from sleep deprivation
Poor-quality sleep over a stretch of time does very interesting things to my world. Like, floors looking like they're moving slightly, black sparkles at the edge of my vision, all sorts of fun stuff.
Yeah, Fitbit often has me asleep when I am awake and still. And, sadly, I still get very little sleep.
swear I felt someone get into bed with me, feel the weight as they settled in, etc, and I would be frozen, unable to move but knowing something awful was going to happen
This happened to me for the first time a couple of months ago. SO CREEPY.
My sister is asking me if hallucinations are in focus if you have shit eyesight and your glasses off. Like, do they drop resolution with reality?

Go you, with the mental heath self-care!

Sometimes it feels like a cat got in bed with me (when Tim is not also in bed). Since we keep them out of the bedroom, this is concerning. I usually check for a cat, and will go so far as to go out to the living room to see where the cats are. When I verify that it wasn't them, Tim concludes it was the ghost of his former cat Spike.
Sleep paralysis! It's awful. I used to have it all the time, but now it's only happens to me once in a while.
I'm one of the olds that has Netflix DVD service still.
I still have the DVD service, too! There are so many things I want to watch that aren't available for streaming that I've maxed out my queue. I've been letting DVDs sit for months at a time, though, so my current strategy to get more use out of my service is to do a Friends rewatch.
