I overslept on my core sleep on day 5, probably due to my youngest getting up at 2am. I messed up my wakeup time on 2 naps on day 6, so I have been tweaking my phone alarms to make it easier to set the correct wakeup time (I haven’t been able to find my timer). Falling asleep for naps has gotten easier. Being awake late at night is slightly easier, but being awake in the early morning is tough. Today I had to stay up and moving, but that means that the house looks a lot better, I even decluttered my desk. The day has gone well and I’m enjoying the schedule - the sleep times are semi-important, but the length of each sleep period is the most important.

Week 1 Notes

• Core sleep needs to start on time (within 5 minutes).
• The time I take naps seems to be semi-flexible, but the length needs to be adhered to. Oversleeping a nap makes it difficult to fall asleep on the next nap.
• Actually waking up (core and naps) is rather easy. I’m not groggy unless I oversleep.
• My short term memory has suffered this week.
• Being a night owl and a morning bird has been great.
• Very late night and early morning are the most difficult times (the time you would normally be asleep). Daytime and evenings are normal, other than occasional tiredness.
