Day 10 - Woke up and went back to sleep...still did the other parts of the trial.

Day 11 - I did it. I woke up at 6:00am and stayed awake and did the other parts of the trial. Looks like going to bed when I was sleepy was the difference.

I've really been underestimating waking up early. In my life I don't think I've ever slept past 10:00am. When I was working at a job and going to school I would wake up at 6:00am BUT when I woke up for those things I never felt fully rested and had to really force myself to get up. I didn't realize how different that situation is from waking up at 6:00am feeling well rested and alert simply because you want to.
