Night sleep: 12am to 4:45am
Nap 1: 11:40am to 12pm
Nap 2: 2:35pm to 3pm

Interesting, I have never taken two naps so close to each other, even really short ones. I have to say, I did feel more energetic after the first one, which might support MartinP's theory that 20 minutes is better than 25 and longer. It was slightly harder to get up this morning that yesterday. I'm not sure if it's because I went to bed later or woke up earlier...I really kind of tend to think the second one is the case.

Productivity: On the increase, since the first day, although I know that it will be even higher after a few days. It's pretty good energy for easy book reading. Meditation felt more like a nap this morning even though I was sitting up straight. I kept having to clear dream images out of my head.

Eating: It's all right. I still craved comfort foods. Had some fruit, mango and bananas, in the morning. Then, went to Taco Bell and got a cheesy bean burrito for lunch. I don't eat much dairy, and never have any in the house, but I still really like those burritos. Plus, if I am out and about, and have no time for something healthier, it's very tempting! So far I snacked on some prunes and walnuts before my second nap, and it's an hour later now. I'll be aiming to have a nice vegetarian dinner with a bunch of vegetables!

Thanks for following my progress!
