It’s the weekend!  So time to wake up at 2am and get to work! 🙂 Yes, nobody said it would be easy.  Fortunately I got to see this beautiful dawn from my window:

However yesterday I overslept … which made me miss the last two naps.  What does that mean? It means … back to square one.  My body tried to come back to monophasic the previous day.  So I have to train it again.  The hardest part is the 4am – 7am.  I get sleepy every half an hour, drowsy … not finding it easy to focus.  Usually I then do dishes, laundry, get some eye drops, eat (fruit+cereal) or tidy the house.  This is what I need to get back on track and make the most of my successive naps.  (if you just arrived to the blog,  I’m currently following the Everyman-3 sleeping schedule):

 

That means, I sleep 3 hours at night, and then take 3 naps (each of 30mn).  Maybe I should call it the Everyman-3330.  So many threes call for a more descriptive name! Some people actually do Everyman-3325 (3h night + three 25mn naps) or even Everyman-4230 (4h night, two naps of 30mn).  Whatever the case, E3330 is my current schedule as shown in the chart.  After overcoming the early morning period it all went back to normal.  I slept 27mn of REM at 7am.  Then came breakfast, light sport at the swimming pool (40mn swim), and a nice lazy Saturday with movies and snacks included.  I thought I would fall into the naps straight away.  But 12:00 only gave me 19mn of sleep (3mn REM).  The 17:00 nap was similar with 16mn total (because I was awake for 10mn before meeting morpheus). I guess it’s the adapting back.  Hopefully tomorrow I’ll dive automatically into the naps.
