I shouldn't have gotten very good sleep last night. I was sleeping in a bed that wasn't mine, there was a dog that barked at raccoons outside the window sleeping on the bed, and two cats constantly fighting. I should have slept like crap, and I was in fact aware of all that was going on when there was a sudden noise, but I slept fine. I woke up feeling fine, I even got up and did all of my chores.
So, how did I do it?
I just...kind of went to "0". My entire body didn't move, all my muscles stayed relaxed, I kept my breathing at a sleeping pace, and I made my brain go dead. This is how I often get myself to sleep. The difference? Whenever the dog barked, or the cats fight, I would let my brain wake up and ask "What was that?" and I would answer, but I wouldn't move anything. I kept the rest of my body completely relaxed, not moving, and I didn't let my brain do anything that would require effort. I woke up over 12 hours ago, with not very good sleep, and I'm only just getting tired. I'm hoping I can do this again, because if I can, I might be able to get a whole lot more sleep.
