    For some reason, I was anxious before this nap, and that feeling hasn't really alleviated even after I did nap. There's just no real sense of calming. I wish there was, but I have a feeling that it's because of the book series that I've been reading this weekend. Haha, oh wouldn't it be a hoot for those very few of you who are actually reading this if I wrote what I was really thinking. Alas, some risks simply cannot be taken. Just be glad that you get to read those previous 2 sentences. I seriously thought about deleting them and just leaving it all very vague. Consider the tantalizing mystery as my treat to those faithful readers. Who knows, maybe 1 of you will actually figure out a bit of the mystery. But, haha, honestly I doubt it. PSA time:  :)

    Maybe it's all slipping away… but I won't let it. I'm stronger, better even than some things. I just wish I could… find that whim I'm looking for.

    Ended up waking about 15minutes into the nap, because a friend of my room-mate came by. It's weird, I've always been a semi-deep sleeper, but during these naps I'm a fairly light sleeper. It's hard to explain, but I hope it keeps up. PSA:

    Waking up initially still feels difficult, but once I'm up, I notice a significant change in energy level. I like almost always feeling like it's the beginning of a great new day, as opposed to hoping for the end of the day so I can get some rest.

    Naps are somewhat starting to run together, which is disappointing. I hope everything begins to pan out a little bit better. This isn't bad, it's just not the "exhilarating" that most ppl talk about. Maybe I'm just not there yet. I do know that I'm going to stop rambling about this nap, and just do the PSA:

    I sort of love this nap time haha. I'm normally at my computer, and I get to see the very beginnings of dawn before going to nap. Lol, I just realized, that makes it sound like I'm some kind of vampire wow… I couldn't really blame people for thinking that kind of thing about this experiment and the psych./physical effects that it has on us "test subjects" haha. It's still just barely light outside, and it is really nice.  PSA:

    This nap was much more restful than the 12:30pm-1am nap (nap1), primarily because it had quieted down outside. I ended up sleeping for ~30mintues I think, because I went to bed a few minutes early. PSA:

    I took this nap after getting back from visiting with friends. I decided to leave a little early since I had a nap soon and, surprisingly, everybody understood or at least expressed understanding about my leaving. Perhaps I just have very good friends, but I'm very glad that I have them. Fall is coming to my town :) I can feel it!  PSA:

Today was the 7th day in the experiment. I know that should have signaled me to continue taking good notes for the sake of accurate research, but I just didn’t' feel like it. I did stay on schedule (mostly) but, I never really got to a point where I felt like writing about the day. I think I was just bored. Hell, I'm bored now, but I figured I had to write something. No PSA's, nothing else for today. Just a very lonely post of ~75words. Day8 will go back to "normal" postings.
