this feels odd. i have half-awoken, but not in the usual sense. my right side is awake, but my left arm, leg, buttock, and side of my back are just ... meat. well not quite -- my arm has proprioception and skin sensation; my leg lacks proprioception and doesn't feel light touch (but did feel perrine walk on it). it feels like ordinary sleep-paralysis just failed to releease that side of my body when my eyes opened. i'm sure that in a few minutes either my left side will wake or the rest of me will fall back asleep. i don't know why i woke up at all so soon after falling asleep in the first place, but i have been having trouble staying asleep long enough lately.

the human nervous system is a source of endless fascination.

[Edit: sometime before 07:45 my left side woke up, though it felt a little weak the first few minutes. I still haven't gotten enough sleep for the night. I'll try to go back to sleep normally soon, and see whether I can get a couple more hours of shuteye.]
