Today, on day 39<\/strong> of the experiment I’ve had to give up my\u00a0naps for the first time.<\/p>\n

\"missed<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m\u00a0travelling\u00a0to a conference in Denmark so the prospect of 3 naps per day looks slim. \u00a0I woke up early feeling\u00a0good and awake to get to the airport. \u00a0I took a 15mn<\/strong> nap on the flight (8am<\/strong>) but could not record it due to bluetooth restrictions. \u00a0It must have been light sleep as I don’t recall any dreaming and it was not very refreshing. \u00a0I had lots to do anyway, so I just worked hard until I made it to Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

Pro tip for budget travelers<\/span>: \u00a0SIM cards with unlimited internet and text messages for a week are usually much cheaper than roaming. \u00a0I spent about \u00a315GBP in a seven-11 and got calls, texts, unlimited internet for tethering (plugging your phone to your laptop to access the internet) for the whole week. \u00a0The SIM expires after 10 days, but by then I don’t need it anymore).<\/p>\n

But concerning sleep this was a pretty tough day.\"laundromat<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a great breakfast at\u00a0the laundromat<\/a>, did some programming, but when 1pm hit … I started feeling extremely tired. \u00a0I had to carry on: \u00a0 With (naive?<\/em>) optimism I had brought a sleeping bag and a mattress to sleep in the park … but it was raining! \u00a0I pushed through anyway (without coffee) and went for a walk. \u00a0More rain. \u00a0I tried to stay with some friends but they could not host me at that time. \u00a0So I spend the whole day wandering around the town from one caf\u00e9 to another (walking 11km<\/strong> in total). \u00a0 Finally, at 8pm<\/strong>\u00a0my friend Helena offered me a nap in her house (Thank you!! <3). \u00a0The new environment, noise and bad timing made it a very short nap, but it was a great relief. \u00a0Off again for dinner, travel … and finally hit the bed at 00:30<\/strong>. \u00a0Thank you Sophie for the hosting! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For the first time I can feel that I’ve adapted<\/strong>: \u00a0My body requested its naps very clearly around 7am, 1pm and 5pm. \u00a0So it has learned the routine of Everyman sleep. \u00a0It’s a shame that I might not be able to keep the schedule during the next week. \u00a0But I’ll try my best to maintain my naps.<\/p>\n
