Lately I have been drawing a phase-space diagram over my day-rythm, and it was
schocking. Normally the 24-hour cycle is a very strong attractor. But in my
rythm it seems to be completely absent! I have periods of normal rythmic
behaviour, and then suddenly -bang- my rythm becomes totally chaotic. I do not
yet have sufficient data to draw a conclusion, but it seems "slightly"
disordered, maybe even governed by a a strange attractor! :)

My rythm. Completely havoc.
