Thought Residue
New Cool Word: Cathemeral


Alison recently taught me a great new word for the strange ways I sleep. Apparently, I’m cathemeral. It’s a term used to describe the sleeping habits of animals that don’t follow any particular pattern, being neither nocturnal, nor diurnal, nor even crepuscular, but instead simply random in the times at which they sleep and are active.

Furthermore, lemurs are noted for being cathemeral, which has caused me to think that my spirit guide is probably a lemur.
