It has been brought a couple times, when talking to friends, why I am attempting to sleep so little. When first confronted with this question, I thought it was an odd question to have, since the answer is so obvious to me; 'to get more stuff done'. I am a little different than most however, probably because I am perusing activities that I actually enjoy through much of the day, and since there is a lot that I want to create, explore, and attempt, it makes sense to try and gain more time to do those things. Most people don't have the drive to create, they don't have things that they want to do or accomplish, at least not to the level of doing whatever it takes to actually do those things. Oddly enough, I hold back on elaborating too much, basically I just end it at 'need more time'. For some reason, I get the feeling that being overly ambitious is a bad trait to have, at least when viewed through the eyes of others.
I awoke this morning a little tired, but I was able to get up at my scheduled time. I'm a notorious snooze-hitter in the mornings, so I feel it's a success when I can hit the alarm clock once, lay in bed for five minutes to wake up (without falling back asleep!), and then getting up to go about my day. I felt mostly fine for much of the day, perhaps a slight hazy feeling, and a just barely perceptible headache. I was quite tired by the time for my nap, so I fell right asleep with no issues. After the nap, I felt pretty good, but did experience some moments of 'quite tiredness'. Kept working, pushed through, and now as I write this before going to bed for the night, I am feeling quite good. Once again, I want to keep working on things, but I must get my sleep!
