Bluesleeve July 10, 2012 July 10, 2012 The body has a pretty accurate internal clock. I don't know what exactly is happening there, but you can tell yourself to wake up at a certain time, too. Telling it myself didn't work for me, but I heard it was possible. When you have an irregular sleep pattern, such as being awake in the night and occasionally sleeping during the day, the internal clock is a bit inaccurate. This happened to me once, when Alyx was telling me the time, but was off for about 40 minutes. I'd say it was because I was sleeping for 4 hours, and then having a small nap of 2 hours in the afternoon. Several people have asked their Tulpas to wake them up at inhumane times (12pm, 3am etc.), and it did in fact work. What is a Tulpa? Blog Rainbow 'Alyx' Dash Pronto
Slushie July 10, 2012 July 10, 2012 Sure, but to the exact minute? Sounds like a fluke if anything. There's no way your sleeping body knows the exact time of the clock next to you. Astral project on my face, brother!

Phi July 10, 2012 July 10, 2012 Anyone have a valid (non-pseudoscientific) theory/explanation for how a tulpa wakes you up at a specific time? Although your body has a natural clock dependent on things like sun exposure, eating times, and chemical exchange, it's hardly reliable. Time is a relative thing created by humans, so I can't really see a way your subconscious would be able to somehow know the exact time you asked for and wake you up then. But I'm open to ideas. What do you mean 'hardly dependable'? When asked the time I'm almost always within 15 minutes of the correct answer. By asking your tulpa to wake up you at a certain time, you are putting more priority on that internal clock.
Captain Nemo July 10, 2012 July 10, 2012 Depending on when you go to sleep, you'll more naturally wake up at certain times because of your REM cycles. Each REM cycle lasts 90 minutes on average. If you fall asleep at 10:30, you're more likely to wake up on your own at 4:30, 6:00, 7:30, or 9:00. I think it'd be more convincing if you ask your tulpa to wake you up in the middle of an REM cycle, say, 8:15.
Thunder Flash July 13, 2012 Author July 13, 2012 I tried to see if kaliea could wake me up in the middle of a sleep cycle and it worked, she woke me up at 8:40 when i went to bed at 4 Tulpa - Kaliea Form: Human female Sentience: Possibly Stage - Visualization: Done Narration: Continuing Touch: Almost Done Smell: Yet to begin Imposition: Yet to begin
Guest Anonymous July 13, 2012 July 13, 2012 What do you mean 'hardly dependable'? When asked the time I'm almost always within 15 minutes of the correct answer. By asking your tulpa to wake up you at a certain time, you are putting more priority on that internal clock. As I said, it's entirely dependent on sun exposure, what time you eat, and the pattern of serotonin exchanges taking place in the synaptic cleft. Because of the sheer complexity of the brain, a human can have an entirely different pattern of serotonin exchanges, and still be completely healthy. It's probably the biggest variable in your internal clock. Sun exposure and eating patterns made plenty of sense before we were hunter-gatherers since it gave humans a general idea of when to return home so they don't get mauled and raped by night predators, but it's essentially useless in modern society. People stay in dark rooms most of the day. People skip meals and eat them at odd times. Some people (mainly Americans) eat nearly 24/7 and have just as fucked up of an internal clock. Another main variable in your internal clock is sleep. Our modern sleep pattern is simply flawed compared to our ancestors. We used to actually have two chunks of sleep in accordance with the body's REM cycle, which regulated their natural clock much better. As far back as the Romans and as recent as the late 1800's, everyone would wake up roughly half-way through their sleep and go out to parties, shop, do chores, etc. for an hour or two before going back to sleep. We got rid of our natural sleep cycle in exchange for the 8 hour cycle because it fit better with work hours. I can tell you from experience of trying polyphasic sleep that it completely fucks your internal clock up. I'd think it was roughly 2:00 am on a Saturday when it'd actually be 4:00pm on a Thursday. With all these variable in mind, plus all the variables we've yet to discover, it's flawed by it's very nature.
Lurker July 13, 2012 July 13, 2012 I think I'm going to try to have my tulpa wake me up in the middle of the night... just to hear her say, "Welcome to the Hotel California." In all seriousness though, I think I'll experiment with waking up in the middle of a REM cycle and/or during the night. But will it blend?
