Its been really great being able to switch between 4.5 hrs and a couple naps to 6 hrs- no naps, t0 8 hrs monophasic.  Here are the past couple days with my nap schedule.  Additionally, regardless of which combo I choose, I usually never feel tired throughout the day.

One thing to note - when I have alot of things to do the next day, I am very motivated to get up after little sleep, while on days when there aren’t things extremely pressing to get done, I’m more likely to convince myself to sleep in instead.

  2. Hey! Did the initial pushup test yesterday, got 31. Did the first workout today with a max of 27 for my last set. Fun, quick, and easy! I think I’ve convinced my dad to do it too.
