I may have had problems because I moved all my sleep times up in order to try and let me get tired before my first 90 minute sleep that I had problems. The day went fine other then being a little tired all day.
90 Minute Nap
Went fine only I moved it to midnight instead of 11:30. I was tired upon waking but I managed to make it until my moved up to 4am 20 minute nap.
20 Minute Nap
Complete failure. Slept through my alarm and woke up when I was suppoed to wake up from my three hour at 11am. A 7 hour sleep in what was suppoed to only be a 20 minute one. I have been having a lot of problems with the 20 minute nap. It is not helping me but seems to be hindering me by it's lenth. I am thinking about changing the time to another 90 minute nap. Will try it tonight.
180 Minute Nap
It merged witht the 20 minute one. I cancilled my math class for today as I slept until I was suppoed to in class.
So what was in my wallet that needed to be talked about? Nothing, lol! I got worked up for nothing. She just wanted to know how to get it back to me. Time to check Joey's blogs to see how he is doing.
It actruly worked after my 3 hour yesterday. I was energetic, more so then I had been in a long time, I wized through all the math I was have tremendous amounts of trouble doing just days ago and understood my new math work without any trouble speeding through it with very little use of my much used calculator. I felt amazing and I did NOT get sleepy as 11 came closer. Unfortunately that's where the good stops.
90 Minute Nap
Work: I got out late again and had just enough time to put my grocery's away before I was due to start my nap. The nap was all together a disaster and my friends were no help whats so ever but they don't know that so shh. I went to bed giving myself plenty of time to fall asleep but have found that perhaps I should wait awhile after work to take this nap as I was still high on adrenalin the last two hours of massive speed cleaning gives me.
After work I am and was last night reared and ready to go. Needless to say it took a LONG time to fall asleep and even then I couldn't have been asleep for more then ten minutes when my phone which is also my alarm clock rang. It was really weird and it disoriented me for a moment because it was: A. Not my ring, B. very soft and C. My phone was on vibrate and should not have rung in the first place. But it did and I was awake again so I picked it up. It was my good friend Laura. And I was serious about the good friend part. She needed to come over a few so I said okay and decided I was not meant for this nap. Looking at the clock I was told it was just twenty minutes until I had to get up anyways. The 90 minute nap was a complete failure and needs to be worked on during the days I work.
20 Minute Nap
I decided that since I have the day off I could lay in bed until I fell asleep and gave myself plenty of time on my alarm to do it. I also decided that since I did not get my 90 minute I would do my naps in the Math class schedule which I think will be a perment occerance as I can't stay awake long enough to still be awake at 6am for my 20. As I set my alarm I noticed the voice mail picture was up so I went ahead and pushed the call button and another good friend of mine who really does not live close came on the machine.
On a recent adventure with her I accidentally forgot my wallet at her house. We have been discussing ways to get it back to me and I have been doing a lot of odd jobs for my friends around here to earn eating money with out my card to use to buy food. When she came on the machine it was normal then she tells me that I need to call her so that we can discuss what she found in my wallet. WHAT THE HELL?!? I don't really care she went through my wallet/planner, but what could she have found that would need to be talked about??? I am completely freaked out and was right as I was supposed to take my second nap as well. Crap. It took forever to make my mind shut down and fall asleep for what turned out to be a little less then 20 minutes.
180 Minute Nap
I had little to no trouble falling asleep for this one though I had to stop my mind from wondering to my wallet several times before I got there. Being it was the middle of the night I could not really just call and ask. I woke up at the time I was supposed to but was so tired I quickly hit snooze and fell asleep for an extra 30 minutes before dragging myself out of bed and coming out here to do this. I am so tired at the moment, perhaps another quick 90 minute nap should be planned just for today in an attempt to make it through the day. In the mean time I have a friend to call. I got her machine, but her ring was encouraging! “Every thing's going to be alright, rockabye.” I will post the answer in my next posting.
Well I did it! Got my first nap done and have to admit I am exhausted. It has to be normal for the beginning. Your body had been sleeping for a lot of hours straight for a long time and you up and try to change it, you can't expect it to feel outgoing when it's beginning you to please if you know what's good for you, go back to bed!
I was surprised at how easy it was to fall asleep in the first place, as it was a full 4 hours before I normally even get tired enough to go to sleep. But I closed my eyes and the next think I know that blasted alarm is ringing in my ears. All I can say is thank God it was not one of those chocked up horn alarms that is most common. Just hearing one of those on TV makes my skin itch. After so many years of having one it's like nails on a chalk board, and unless I am desperate I won't use one.
My schedule will be off quite a bit twice a week I realized upon waking as during what should normally be my 180 nap time is also the time I have a Math class. Ugg, so I have spent the last ten minutes trying to rework this sleep schedule so that I can get all of my sleep in before math then work. The result is all my sleep schedules will have to be a lot closer together. You are supposed to spread your 90 minute nap and your 20 minute nap six hours apart. But having to move my 180 0ne so that I am getting up an hour before math and not being able to budge my 90 minute one due to work, results in having to have my 20 minute nap only around three hours after my 90 minute one. Is this making any since to anyone but me? Here is my schedules.
On a NORMAL WORK DAY:
6am-6:20am = 20 Minute Nap 11am-2pm = 180 Minute Nap 3pm-11pm = Work 11:30pm-1am = 90 Minute Nap
On a MATH WORK DAY: 3am-3:20am = 20 Minute Nap 7am-10pm = 180 Minute Nap 11am-12:30pm = Math 3pm-11pm = Work 11:30pm-1am = 90 Minute Nap
That should make more since. I don't even know what I am going to do when my next AM or MID shift comes up. Then the entire schedule will have to change completely just for that day. LOL! Oh well, let's just see if I can stay awake in till 3 am as it is a Math day! Really this is probably a good thing as I don't think I would make it to 6am.
20 Minute Nap Day One
Okay so I honestly don't know if I fell asleep or just blinked. I'm afraid I did not feel well rested with this one either but once again it is only the first day. And doing the 20 minute so soon after the 90 minute one could also be a problem. That's why this is an experiment I suppose. I can only hope it get's better and that after my 3 hour nap I wake up refreshed enough to do math as I am having trouble with it as it is.
180 Minute Nap Day One
I did it!!! A full night with only 4 hours and 50 minutes of sleep! WAAHOO!! So how do I feel at the end of it? Surprisingly like would every morning upon waking up. But maybe, just slightly less tired. Weird. Now I suppose the question would be how will I do through out the day? Will a get tired faster as my impending bed time draws much, much closer to when I am at work? Or will this fresh bout of energy spring me through the day until 1130 tonight the time when the cycle starts all over. Furthermore, will I be able to stand trying to stay awake for the much longer amount of time as tomorrow is NOT a math day? Hmmm.... Well this is an experiment, let's see what happens!
Okay I am going to try it! Joey is a friend of mine and I am really want this to work. Watch the video to find out what it is all about. Anyways I am going to post my sleep journal here and on my myspace to track my progress. Want to do it too? Give it a try! Joey would like to know how you do since this is really his sleep system! Here I go!
Please note: you will want to get a full nights sleep the night before you start.
I think most would not have even noticed the date had The Omen not decided to play it for all it's worth. But they did and now the big talk is how today will be the day the devil will walk through the door. I think that if that was going to happen it would have happend in the on the date 6-6-6 Or on the date 6-6-1006. But humans are all still here so no those were not the end of the world days as people seem to fear. (NO Y2K PEOPLE!)
Still the same, it's better to becareful if your leaving the house today. The worl won't end but that wont stop people from acting like it will, in the middle of the road, on the side walk, in the stores... My mom has forbidden me to leave the apartment without the family today to be safe. We don't like the number 666, and try to avoid it as much as possible. SO I will be spending my scary day in the air port's most secure location as I train in the family business.
First however I have to get there, and that's the scary part. Stupid drunks.
It's now officaly hurricane season again. We bring it in with a floor watch. WATCH?? Try flooded! I got to the bottom of my apatment and a duck swam by! The parkinglot is at least half a foot under water, and I am sorronded by a giant swamp! Bring out my rain boots, poncho, and umbrella as I walk to work.
But I love storms! I really do! Well as long as it thunders! Just rain storms are boring. LOL! The clouds are awesome though.
I may have had problems because I moved all my sleep times up in order to try and let me get tired before my first 90 minute sleep that I had problems. The day went fine other then being a little tired all day.
