Biphasic Sleep, Days 8 and 9
(Just realized that I forgot to post Day 8's log yesterday.) More sleeping incidents: yesterday, I woke up at 5am, but went back to bed later for several hours. Today, practically the same thing happened again.
I'm think I'm going to rearrange my schedule to place my nap in the morning (as Ati suggested in her post this morning)--my schedule will permit it easily and it would probably be much more compatible with what my body seems to want to do. Since alertness hasn't been a problem after 1pm on any particular day, moving my afternoon nap forward by a few hours shouldn't cause any trouble later in the day. I'm also thinking since I rarely can get myself to bed by 12:30am, I'll shift an hour and a half from my core sleep to my nap, putting them both at three hours.
So my thought is that starting tomorrow I'll have core sleep from 2am to 5am and then my nap from 9am to 12pm. For both, I'll include a half hour of reading-in-bed time beforehand (from 1:30am to 2am and from 8:30am to 9am) to allow me to wind down so that I can fall asleep as close to the target time as possible.
