Dosage: 1 mg (1 pill)

1-29-2003

Background:

  • Took 1 pill at 10:30 PM.
  • Last night — slept from 2 – 8 AM, then from 4 – 6:30 PM.
  • Currently feel upbeat (i.e. not relaxed).

Questions:

  • How quickly do I go to sleep?
  • How aware am I tomorrow?
  • What, if any, are the ill effects?
  • Are effects lessened with overuse?

Notes:

  • Need to test control conditions.
  • Other drug interactions my alter results.
  • Planned sleep will begin at 11:15 PM.

Results and Conclusions:

Actual sleep began at 11:30 PM. I then awoke at 1 AM, 3 AM, 4:04 AM, and 9 AM. Due to the restlessness of my sleep patterns, I have decided to halt these experiments. I may be a dumbass, but I am not stupid…
