Day 6 - Feeling a bit sleepy
I'm feeling a bit sleepy at this point. I could just be paying the price for my under-10-minute-nap earlier though. I feel like I've been awake too long working on a project.
My 4:30am nap is coming up in about an hour and a half and I'm a bit nervous. Of all my naps this has been the hardest to do correctly, probably because when I was a monophasic sleeper this was the only time of the night I was almost certain to be asleep. Most days I didn't get up until after 7am.
The 4:30am nap also has the distinction of being one of the most important post-adaptation naps, since I plan to start work at 5am. This will allow me to get home in time to give my wife a break in the afternoon and also allow her to do stuff without the kids.
Maybe I've built up too much around this one nap in my head, but I'm determined to conquer it tonight. I've even modified Placebo's excellent MP3 to add a very Very VERY obnoxious alarm about 1 minute after the gentle rooster crow. It's something I don't think anyone is capable of sleeping through (though I've managed to sleep through quite a bit in the past).
Immediately after I wake up I'll be hopping on the elliptical machine (now conveniently located right next to the bed) for 20 minutes to get the blood pumping. Finally, I plan to go for a walk if needed to get me through to the 8:30 nap.
Of course it'd be great if I wake up before the alarm and don't need to do any of this... Oops, now I'm dreaming while I'm awake again :-)
