Day2 (nap5)

3:07 PM

I didn't sleep through this nap, I just haven't updated as quickly as I could have (took a shower, had lunch, researched polyphase stuff). Ok, so this post is in reference to the 1:00pm-1:30nap. It went well. I ended up dozing off for at least a few minutes, because I barely remember seeing some kind of dream. At least that's the theory I'm running with. For those of you more experienced, don't worry, I have NO delusions of being anywhere near adapted. Having tried this once before, I know it will probably be ~1week before I see any noticeable signs of adaptation, and at least 2weeks before I begin being able to maintain everything at pre-poly levels. With that, I'll say that appetite is roughly the same as pre-poly (had 2 small salads & some bread for lunch). Also, I was able to keep up very easily with the news that I watched while eating. Granted, that's no great feat, but I would have been seriously worried if that had not been the case. So, without further ado, I shall present you with the PSA for this nap (Psych. State analysis).

I have managed to get a couple of school-related things done, but I still recognize that I'm procrastinating. I've got some grammar quiz (stupid biz communication class) tomorrow, that I have yet to even look at. Regardless, I can probably ace it. It's just unnerving to see that, even with all this "extra time," I still procrastinate. That's human nature for you I suppose.
*Let me know if you would like me to write about some specific benchmarks or other topics relating to the sleep schedule. I feel like I'm just rehashing the same topics here, primarily because it's easier than brainstorming better topics, but also because I have no feedback.
