Late Afternoon Nap

6:02 p.m.
I had another late nap this afternoon as I said I would yesterday.  I started it at 3:30 and woke up an hour later.  Like yesterday I had a little more difficulty falling asleep but I did rest better than when I was on the couch a day ago.  We will have to see tonight if the later sleep period keeps me awake longer.  If it does then I will definitely make 3:00 or 3:30 my normal time.

I was able to get a full morning of work in and was fairly lazy this afternoon.  I remember my older brother saying how some of the editors at his university news paper get six hours of sleep a night.  When I heard this I was at first discouraged because they were functioning with only an hour more than I am.  I then thought about their caffeine and coffee consumption.  I don’t drink any coffee and have very little in the way of caffeine.  This sleep cycle is also healthier I believe so my mind was put at ease.

Consistency, Finally

6:16 a.m.
Good morning everyone.  If you were wondering if I stayed up until 1:00 last and got out of bed this morning on time, the answer would be yes.  Two days in a row now I have stayed right on schedule.  Last night though I went to bed ten minutes early because I was very tired.  I was actually tired at about 9:00 p.m.  I am going to chalk that up to me not getting a full one hour sleep.  Overall though, I am pretty happy with the results.

Talking to my girlfriend yesterday she had said that she wanted to try the cycle and was actually planning on starting last night but I don’t think she did.  I encouraged her to do so since if my routine becomes boring and predictable, I can post her results from the beginning.  This would provide a cool contrast between two peoples experiences especially since she is much more forgetfull and laid back about her routines.  Either way, I’ll give you a heads up.  Unless you want to hear her results sooner just comment or tweet me that that’s the case and I’ll get on it.
