After drinking last night, I was able to wake up at 7:00 am, but felt hungover and couldn't convince myself to get out of bed (it didn't help that is was a Sunday). I wound up getting out of bed around 8:45 a.m. still feeling groggy and tired. Hopefully this ...
So apparently it was a bad idea to skip my evening nap last night. I wasn't tired when the time came around and since we started playing Drinking Jeopardy, I decided to just power through. The game was a blast, however by 1:00 a.m., I was exhausted. ...
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 ...

Well, I fell asleep quickly last night, and again woke up right before my alarm went off. My alarm was scheduled for 7:00 AM and I awoke, fairly refreshed at 6:53; it looks like 4.5 hours times my cycles just right. Hopefully it scales well and 3 hours ...
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 ...

My ultimate goal for this experiment is to find a sleeping schedule or strategy that will maximize the amount of functional waking time, while minimizing transitionary side-effects, and maintaining a flexible and practical schedule. I'm looking for a sleep method that will provide the most benefit with the least amount ...
