UPDATE 1 -- Last night was a bit of an experiment for me. I'm typically one to get a good night's rest: seven or eight hours minimum, in one big chunk of time. Last night I split my time up: I napped from 7:30pm to 9:00pm, then scooted off to the bars by 10:30pm. I arrived home around 2:00am, and was asleep for the night by 2:15am (my rough guess).
How did getting less than five hours of sleep in one chunk affect me today?
I was a lot more tired for the first half of my day, which is, quite frankly, a miserable feeling... saggy eyes, weak muscles, and constant hunger.
What did this do for my perception of time? Did my day yesterday seem longer? Was the fatigued feeling I had today worth the extra hours out?
The short answers: in perception, my day didn't seem much longer, especially since I lost the time I was napping between seven and nine. And as for the crappy, yucky feeling in my body all morning long... well, tonight I'm getting nine hours of sleep to make up for it.
Next up for study? Video games and perceived time.
