The End Of A Day, The Beginning Of Some Art

My work station, for now

12:31 a.m.
I’m not too tired although I fell the tiniest bit drowsy.  It’s so small that I even considered not sharing it but I did.  Because I care.  With this lack of tiredness that I have been experiencing I started another work of art.  I had meant to take a picture of it as I was priming the board but I forgot so below you can see my temporary work station (dining room table).  This work is about half done and so far I’ve spent half an hour on it.

Overall today has went well.  Church in the morning and my family went out for lunch and then I was fortunate enough to have a lazy afternoon and caught the CFL game between Calgary and Montreal.  I have felt pretty good today.

Tomorrow I think that I’ll start the real physically demanding work in the yard and outside so that will be interesting to see how my body reacts to running on little sleep while physically working a lot.  I hope I have some interesting results for once.

A Late Nap After A Late Morning

4:33 p.m.
I was very worried today because I realized around two thirty that I was not sleeping and had forgotten about the afternoon sleep cycle.  Initially I was even more frustrated as I had already messed up today but I think it become something positive.  I went to sleep at 3:00 and I fell asleep pretty fast.  I went to sleep quickly and this shows that I have practiced falling asleep enough that I can now make my body sleep much better than I could before.  This is very useful as I almost always had difficulty falling asleep. 

Happy Canada day!

 The other good thing that came out of this is the fact that I have utilized a rest period at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00.  Three different times for my afternoon nap and they were all done successfully. This is exciting because it means that this rest period is very flexible.  If you’re looking to try this biphasic cycle, don’t worry about needing a very strict schedule because you can actually change the time around daily. Granted, I haven’t strayed outside of the three hours but I don’t think much more than that would be an effective sleep schedule.  This is still good news either way.

Another Late Morning

7:56 a.m.
I slept in again today.  If it weren’t for sleeping in I would have no problems with my experiment.  However, as it is, I’m sleeping in about half the time.  This is getting to be very frustrating since it would make the project pointless if I continue to do so.  I hope that simply hitting the snooze button no matter how awake I am will do the trick.  I haven’t once used it so far because I didn’t feel like had a need for it.  I’m thinking much differently at this point.

Last night went well, I stayed up right until 1:00 p.m. and I watched my first episode of Mad Men.  It’s very well done but I’d recommend watching it in order and not jumping in wherever your older brother is.  I was glad to have stayed up that late even though I almost dozed off a couple times and was drowsy.

My typical breakfast, delicious

So as this post shows you, I’m doing the sleep cycle but it’s the details that I’m getting ahold of.  I don’t have anything wrong with me mentally or physically and I’ll stop telling you that after this because I haven’t felt off since the first couple days.
