I can haz sleep?

[pyrephox]

I have been very tired. Not sleeping well, but I'm not sure why. I suspect I'm sleeping, but just not.../well/. I must be tossing and turning or something; I don't remember any major wakeful periods, but I wake up feeling unrested. Dreams are, of course, exceptionally vivid, which might be helping. (Had a dream last night about bastinado, and this decadent, evil couple doing political schemes.)

Hard to focus on much of anything today...which is actually helping me get work done, since I can't summon up the mental energy to slack off and work on Legends of Elgia, instead.

That's pretty much what I've been doing. I'll sleep the night through but wake up feeling like shit. I usually feel better during the day with some caffeine or something in my system, but then I'm run down by 4 o'clock again. I don't know what or why this has become a problem, since I'm getting a full eight hours. I'm thinking of trying to cut down to seven hours, maybe the full eight is too much for me (or 10 - 6 as a sleeping schedule disagrees with my body).

It could also be that you're asleep but not hitting the REM cycle, or your bed just isn't right for you anymore.

Oh, I hit REM, no problem. Actually, I suspect that I might be spending too /much/ time in REM, and not enough in deep sleep, if the clarity and feel of my dreams are anything to go by.
