Had to run into hospital just about nap time! So no nap, got home and before I knew it, it was 8pm and I was pretty tired without a nap.
Didn't want to have such a late nap again since I didn't think that worked so well a few days ago (would've been 8-9:30pm nap, then 1115pm to 345am night sleep with only 1:45 between....last time, I overslept my nap and think it may have been because I was too tired that late for my "second morning
).
Went to bed at 830pm to read a bit, thinking I'd read til 915 or so, then get to sleep for 6 hours/4Cycles, my usual 24 hour total. Didn't set alarm and woke up at 4:43am like clockwork at 7:30 hrs/ 5 Cycles!
So, did I need an hour more sleep/24 hours because I missed my nap? Hmmm.....
One thing that seems most convincing, regular, etc. is the natural adherence to 90 minute cycles. It seems that as long as I don't allow myself to drift off again, I will naturally awaken at the end of some 90 minute cycle or 5 to 10 minutes before. And as long as I get up, I find that I very quickly--within minutes of seeing light--totally wake up with good energy, that's really neat.
(I'm heading to the 21 day mark and then I'll consolidate the essence of that 21 day experience
for a shorter review...and continue to add to that....not that anyone's been complaining abt bandwidth or anything
