Last night, I successfully went to bed around my target time (2:30am) and was able to fall asleep relatively quickly. I do not recall waking up at all during the night, and I actually woke up naturally a few minutes before my alarm went off. I am guessing this means one of my cycles had just ended and I received an optimal amount of sleep. Even with my excitement at the possibilities of the schedule and my desire to succeed at it, I was still extremely tired for the first 10 minutes of the morning and had an immense desire to lie back down to sleep in. I am definitely looking forward to my first nap.
By the time the midday nap came around, I was a little drowsy, but skeptical of whether or not I would be able to actually fall asleep. Additionally, since I hadn’t made any office-wide announcements I was a little anxious about seeming strange/crazy to my co-workers, thus making it a little difficult to wind down. Unfortunately, I was only able to doze for about 15 min before general activity and other noises woke me up. Hopefully I will be able to have a good nap this evening.
Well, bad news again, I was only able to half doze/daydream in my second and third nap. For the latter, since I was waiting on some people before I could do more work, I let myself “snooze” for an extra 20 min or so, but never really fell asleep. Well good luck to me for tomorrow.
