Day1 (nap2)

Nap2

3:16 AM

This is being written pre-nap2. I am reading the book "Ubersleep" by Puredoxyk. In it is some compelling theory that 20minute naps may be better than 30minute naps. For this reason, I will slightly modify my schedule soon. I will still adhere to 30minute periods of break time, but I will allocate 10 of those minutes to getting prepared to nap. So it'll be like this:

I have a 3:30am-4:00am nap.

I will get in bed (really on top of my comforter so I won't be tempted to sleep longer) @ 3:30am

I will have 10minutes to get to sleep in a relaxed manner

@ 3:40am, I have to hope that I am asleep, so that I will get 20minutes of sleep before the alarm  

      goes off @ 4:00am.

I will wake up @ 4:00am.

This is the end of the pre-nap2 post. A subsequent post-nap2 write-up will probably follow within the next 1/2 hour. This post was ended at 3:23am (just enough time to brush teeth) :)

Post-"nap": Crappy nap period. I don't know if I actually got to sleep, but it wasover way too soon. I guess that means I did get to sleep. Decided to try to get a couple extra minutes by adding 10minutes to alarm & that ended quickly too. Must mean that I am getting to sleep. Only feel slightly tired, but it was tough getting off of the bed.
