I have overslept for the first time in the experiment.\u00a0 Yesterday my 17:00<\/strong> nap just didn’t succeed.\u00a0 I was so tired that I went to bed at 22:30<\/strong> and entered deep sleep in 10mn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I woke up at 2:45<\/strong> using the smart-wake<\/a>, and crawled out of bed.\u00a0 I usually make a decaf tea and wash my face … but my throat felt a bit sore, my muscles felt exceptionally tired so I decided to lay back and relax for a moment on the couch with a blanket.\u00a0 I’m not quite sure what I was thinking but you don’t have to be a genius to guess what happened next.\u00a0 \"sleepy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 I napped for almost 3h<\/strong>.\u00a0 This ended up disturbing my whole schedule, especially the two afternoon naps, which only added to about 10mn<\/strong> of light sleep and 10mn<\/strong> of REM.\u00a0 There was a feeling of defeat and failure.\u00a0 I was doing so well … and suddenly a missed nap derailed my whole endeavour.<\/p>\n

I have read on many<\/a> blogs<\/a> that a missed nap<\/a> throws you back to the beginning of the adaptation period, … so we’ll see how it goes tomorrow.\u00a0 Even though I feel defeat I must remember that it’s very common to miss naps, readjust … and that I should still have another week before starting to actually adapt (if it can truly happen).<\/p>\n

I was also invited to a party this evening … and felt OK.\u00a0 It was a definite conversation starter followed by eclectic responses:\u00a0 “I could never do that”, “I like my sleep too much”, “I actually sleep 4h\/day anyway”, “Whaaaat?”, etc \u00a0 .\u00a0 I didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol but after 10:30 my eyes felt very tired, … and my head was starting that oppressive feeling of unavoidable sleep.\u00a0 So we left, and were in bed at 23h00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
