 Day 2, 5/12 Tuesday
Monday Dinner, 6:00pm - whole grain spaghetti and Italian sausage meatballs.
No drowsiness between nap and core sleep, which was an initial concern... will continue to monitor.
Core sleep - 10:45pm Monday night - 3:18am, 4.5hours. or so.
Did use alarm this time. I was drowsy from about 4-6am this morning. I had a little hard time falling asleep and I didn't get to my bed early either (was finishing up a movie till 10:20pm).
Possible causes for not sleeping right away:
1. I was watching tv right up until I was trying to fall asleep...I usually wind down by reading or crosswords
2. Ice cream with chocolate syrup at 8:30pm
3. Exercise by playing a softball game from 7-8pm
Exercise - 2.75mile jog beginning around 7:00am. Followed by oatmeal mixed from a protein shake with strawberries on top.
Lunch - more spaghetti and meatballs; pita with cream cheese, milk
Nap - 1:00ish - 3:18. It took me a bit to fall asleep again, so about 1.5 hours. No alarm. Strongly recommend a dark sheet. It seemed to help both get me to sleep and keep me asleep.
It's now 3:30pm. Feeling Great! Headache went away shortly after the extra water and apple yesterday. Definitely need more water with this schedule than before. At about a gallon already today, with 6.5hours left till I sleep again, and I didn't sweat nearly as hard as yesterday.
Total sleep in 24 hours: 6 hours.
Will try to get to sleep by 10 tonight, to get back to a 2:30am wake up. Also want to space out my lunch and nap a little bit. Maybe lunch at 11:15-11:30ish and nap at 1... will allow some digestion prior to trying to sleep.
