Again I wake up right before my alarm (6:47 am)! Interesting.
Nap success! I woke up briefly after about 15 min of lying down, but I actually felt asleep for both segments of the session. I was tired before hand, but I also tried some strategies to help fall asleep including attempting to clear of busy thoughts and rocking my head side to side as I lay there to subdue the office distractions. I felt great afterwards - if the past few days is as bad as it gets, then this is a piece of cake!
So far I have been allotting myself 3×30 min naps and 4.5 hrs of sleep at night resulting in an estimated 6 cycles (3 naps and 3x 90 min core segments), one more than the required amount. This has been a nice transitional phase, but since it’s about time for a challenge. After a few more days, I plan to reduce my nap times down to 20-25 minutes and use a two-cycle core sleep period of 3 hours.

Yay, another successful nap! I went to sleep quickly and woke up after 15 min, but I’m still pretty sure I slept before and after the interruption. I figure if I suddenly can’t remember where I am, I probably fell asleep.

Looks like we will be playing the greatest drinking game ever, Drinking Jeopardy! I’m thinking of skipping my nap so I can keep playing, we’ll see how I feel.
