Kitten why are you so productive! I've been procrastinating :/
Because I haven't had only 3 hours of sleep! I did spend half of yesterday in a fog with a bad headache...
I actually think 3 was the "perfect" number. It's weird how sleep works like that (for me). If I got another hour or an hour less, they'd be equally bad, whereas 3 hours left me as energetic as 8 or 9 hours, just for not as long
I think it comes down to sleep cycles. We go in and out of deeper levels of sleep, and if you wake up at the right time you feel more refreshed than if you are woken up from a deep sleep. The cycles are a few hours long, so a three hour sleep can mean you wake naturally at a good time, but an extra hour might mean you wake up half way through one.
