well it fell in a heap so far.
I had to catch up with a friend this weekend and our combined schedules left us only the time I had set asside for my nap free. I chose to catch up with my friend instead of napping and had a 6 hour core sleep on night 4.
Night 5 I lay down for my nap and was still awake after half an hour so I abandoned the exercise and had a 5 hour core sleep.
Night 6 I napped a little too successfully and slept right through.
Since then I have not been able to nap again.
Tonight will be night 8. Will try again and maybe take some additional steps to wind down before the nap.
I think this has been part of the problem. Nap times seem to have suddenly surprised me. I have been busy all evening and suddenly I'm in a rush to get to sleep.
