Nap3

9:19 AM

This could be a bad sign. I already overslept (by quite a bit). I was supposed to wake up at 7:00, and I did. I turned my iTouch alarm off, turned my phone alarm off, and hen promptly hopped back onto my bed & decided to "snooze" for a few minutes. 8:45 and I realized that my snooze had turned against me, gone against my will for only a slightly longer nap. Well, at least it was only the 3rd nap. It's not like this is devastating; I had slipups early on during my last attempt, and this time I doubt they'll be as bad b/c I have experience. I think I should catalog my psychological states for most naps (this won't be a very objective study). It'll be on a 5pt scale
  (1=low/negligibe   5=high/very noticeable)
Here it goes:
Psychological States ( 1=low --> 5=high)

Feeling of "Tiredness"	1
Hunger	3
Clarity of thoughts	4
Willingness to exercise	3
Willingness to write	4
Memory recall ability	4
Awareness of surroundings	5
Feelings of anxiety	2
Calmness	4
Frequency of odd thoughts	1
Errors of mind/typing	1
Schedule Adherence	3
Productivity	2

I believe that ought to suffice as my psych.-state estimator, even though it's likely to be seen as a very biased indicator over time. I'll try to have it in in each post.
