I said I wouldn't take a nap today, but as it happens I started to get kind of sleepy around 18:30 tonight, so I decided I might as well just take my nap and get started. I went to bed a little after 6:30 PM, and it wasn't long before I drifted off. I woke up after 7:30, but I lain there until nearly 8:00.

So I'm off to a start.

I still don't know if 6 hours sleep per 24 will be enough. Coming from a monophasic background, I find I need at least 7.5 hours to feel good during the day, and that's a minimum. Although like I said in my previous post, I usually get more than that. I'm skeptical about being able to perform at peak capacity on 6 hours of sleep per day, especially since I'm a Physics and Applied Mathematics double major and sleep is critical in being able to succeed in those fields. Well, I guess I'll find out. At the very worst, I'll end up bumping my core sleep to 6 hours instead of 4.5, for a total of 7.5 hours/day if 6 hours proves too short.

Anyway, now I just need to stay up until 02:00, and get up at 06:30 tomorrow morning for day 1.

Day 0: Nap: 18:30-19:50.
