Night sleep: 11:25pm to 5:25am.
Nap: 2:50pm to 4pm.

Honestly, I'm a little baffled right now. I didn't think I would be taking such long naps. I only expected to take half an hour to 45 minute naps, and only ten minutes, when I don't have time. It's twenty minutes after my nap and I feel kind of like I overslept. I really hope to reduce those over time to half an hour, since not having free time, when my son takes a nap, defeats part of the purpose of waking up early. I could always try sleeping for five hours at night.

Positive aspects: I read some experiences of some biphasic sleepers, who had trouble falling asleep during a nap. That is like the last problem I would ever have LOL I fall asleep immediately and sleep deeply.

I felt so much more energy today, and even though there is still a hint of sleepiness, I can tell that somehow there is more energy for me to work with. Yay!

Habits: Goodbye coffee! I didn't drink it, nor did I really feel tempted to. I did substitute for decaf green tea, but more for my enjoyment, than for caffeine. Seems like I am trying to make up with more sugar intake. I had some fruit juices, fruit spread on my toast, and a muffin for lunch. At least it was a vegan muffin! But it was not all that healthy ha ha It was completely while flour. Maybe I can work on my eating habits, once I master my sleep a little better. In fact, I'm off to make a list of other 30-day trials!
