Kingabubakr:
Thanks for the support. The lumosity comes with a free trial with 29 sessions after which you can purchase monthly credits. The reason why I rather get up after my 30 minutes even if I don’t fall asleep is because as soon as I start adjusting the alarm clock I get sleepier and fall into an endless loop of adjusting the alarm clock with 30 minutes every time it goes off.
Now I am now really starting to get tired. At the moment I am struggling just to keep my eyes open. I neglected to do the lumosity report or update the blog after my planned 18:00 session due to a sudden decision to watch Iron Man which also caused me to be an hour late for my 22:00 session. Even being an hour late didn’t affect me much; I think it may still be too early for the pattern to get hold yet.
The rain drops challenge was really challenging, it consists of having to do simple mathematical calculations but my brain just couldn’t keep up. I noticed that the scores mostly keep climbing, which is not due to better performance but rather because lumosity is increasing the level after a certain score reached. A better understanding would most probably be reached once I have more data and are able to graph it.

Attention (Bird Watching): 3048
Processing speed (Rain Drops): 1986
Processing speed (Speed Match): 7790
Cognitive Control (Color Match): 575

And finally; the end of day 1
