Today was an odd day. Let me lay out what happened.

5AM Nap: Wake up, feels like my brain is floating in liquid stupid. I can’t think of things I know I should be able to think of, and I feel very confused. (Two people I’ve spoken too say this happens to them as well and is normal, though.)

11AM Nap: I wake up, feel a bit odd (just a bit out of it mentally and physically). I get up and do some things I don’t really remember anymore, then walk down the stairs for my apartment and across back up to my father’s. I have to stop and back down a step once to catch myself since my leg is tingling and causes me to be thrown off balance. Take a shower, but it does nothing for it.

5PM Nap: Miss, then fall asleep from ~6:15-7:30. No odd symptoms.

11PM Nap: Same symptoms as 11AM. As of 1:20AM it is nothing more than a dizzy feeling.

Now, the bit with the 5PM nap leads me to believe that this may or may not have something to do with the brain adjusting sleep cycles to fit shorter naps, since a nap I took that was about the length of one cycle didn’t have any odd effects on me. This is just me thinking out loud, though. I’ll keep an eye on this and report back later.
