Cheers,

Three weeks of intending and still no progress. Last night, after a week of getting no reality checks at all, I very strongly intended to get them - got two, and both woke me up immediately.

I also set an alarm and go WILD after 15 minutes of staying up - no success, since every time I felt myself falling down I got immediately excited, or my eyes started to spasm on their own which about doubled my heart rate (is this REM sleep without the sleep?) After giving up, I could not even fall asleep normally!

I still want to avoid the journaling stuff. Now I'm starting to think about giving up the whole thing and developing my generic self control (calmness) first. What do you think?

-SS (Mood 3)
