Day 5 - Shorter than 20 minute naps?

I think my 8:30 nap this evening was the first sub-20 minute nap I've had since I started the adaptation period and I feel great. The entire day I was fairly foggy but most of that fog seems to be gone now, and my test scores are up. On the other hand, I don't feel as good in other ways (I'm yawning periodically, and really looking forward to my next nap).

Of course this was a bit of an extreme. I think I was asleep for at most 7 minutes. But it still has me wondering if I shouldn't set the alarm back a few minutes to 18, or maybe even 17 minutes. I'm not going to tempt fate this evening, but I'll experiment with it a bit tomorrow and see what happens.

I didn't follow my night plan last yesterday because my first waking period was so good and my second was so bad. Tonight I'm determined to follow through. I have a 40 minute walk planned between 1am and 4am, and I'm going to do some cardio on our elliptical machine at 5am.

I've also decided to stop trying to be ultra-productive while I'm completing the transition. When I'm done with the transition period I'll have plenty of time to be productive. Until then my focus needs to be sticking to the schedule and doing things that keep my mind/body entertained.

Last post of day 5. I'm hoping day 6 will be the start of a more even feeling throughout the entire day.
