Up to this point, my naps have not been providing me with much restful sleep, which is why I had an extremely difficult time waking up this morning. I’ve been good about getting out of bed quickly (to make sure I don’t snooze) but it took a 20 minute shower before I felt like moving around. The good thing is that I haven’t really felt very tired during the days while at work, so I have remained productive.
Also interesting to note, I woke up being fairly awake around 5:50 am. That would be a total of 3 hrs and 20 minutes. If that is the accurate end of my second cycle, that will be good to know for when I switch to a shorter core sleep.
Took my midday at 1:15 pm - again, I didn’t think I slept, but I feel just fine now, so I suppose it did something. We’ll see how it goes later today.
My afternoon nap was more of the same - I took it a little early, and still didn’t seem to fall totally asleep. Because of this, I extended the time a bit and woke up much groggier than I would have liked.
We went to play racquetball today at 9:00 pm (should have been 8, but stupid google adwords shut down on us, right after Bob Barr was interviewed on FoxNews - infuriating!). Alarmingly, in the first game, my coordination was extremely off; I was miss-judging where the ball was and totally missed the ball on a number of swings. However, after I was down 11-1 to Brian, I got back into a rhythm and continued to play very well the rest of the hour. I don’t know if I can attribute it to sleep deprivation as I have felt fine for the most part so it probably was due to not having played for a week.
12:57 - Another mediocre nap, but I feel alright. We’ll see how I do tomorrow!
