Another late night and no REM sleep. The hourly view, pictured above, sometimes shows interesting patterns, but I have not yet figured out what – if anything, they mean.
I have a suspicion, for example, that the first fifteen minutes of relative silence could be due to sleep paralysis. But I was not conscious at the time, so this calls for further investigation.

If you have a netbook with a camera you could use the open source app “motion” http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome to track when you move. You can adjust the sensitivity and if you even have a little bit of ambient light you should be able to pickup motion. That way if you aren’t moving, it won’t record any video, and if you are then you can analyze what you’re reading from the device vs what you see on the camera when you do move. I came across your blog yesterday and I have to say I’m interested in getting one of these devices myself.
I like the idea and will code a plugin for Lucid Scribe that will plot the amount of change between frames. Thank you.
A hypothesis about the sleep paralysis: The body moves through the 4 (5) distinct sleep stages at night. Since you’ve been coding fiercely over the past few days, it is possible that your body tries to catch up on some sleep phases that it has been missing over the past few days…
A hypothesis about the wave pattern: could this be caused by your filter implementation?
