Hi September,

I get that way if I don't get quite enough sleep, but not if I have a fraction too much. 10 minutes can make a world of difference.

When you set the alarm, how much time do you allow for yourself to fall asleep? In my case, I set the alarm for 2 hours (for the nap), fall asleep within 10 minutes or so, then wake naturally before it goes off. The alarm is only there 'just in case'
