This log will track the actual experiment with emphasis how well I make use of the time to accomplish some long term goals I never have enough time to meet.

I usually get tired driving, but having the naps and I guess being used to napping helps. And if I did get tired, after the nap was fine (didn't completely abandon coffee though).

Didn't quite get up on time again, slept an extra hour. Was real painful for the first half hour after getting up. Just kinda tired now, it'll be interesting to see how I feel after my first nap this morning.

At least I'm doing something useful. I spend so much time considering how far away 4 oclock is (that's the time we do our main 3 hr sleep) that I don't anything useful, which makes more available time useless. I've started making a list of things to work, always a good step. Trying to break things down into small bits that I can easily accomplish.

A bit groggy but not too bad. Starting to think this can work. Might adjust my hours a bit tonight by moving the main (3hr) sleep block from 4-7 upto 3-6. Gets pretty lonely around 3 or 4 in the morning.
Have several things I would like to accomplish:
o Improve my guitar skill (been kinda stuck a certain level for some time now, maybe I can finally push through to the next level).

I've mostly made it through the first 5 days of the sleep program. I slept in a couple of times plus missed some naps. Other than that I've been able to stay up and get the extra hours in without too many ill effects.
My biggest problem is lack of motiviation to actually accomplish the thingsStreuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15665457757174658289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544641.post-771163632002-05-29T14:34:00.000-07:002002-05-30T10:22:42.000-07:00Had my first nap at 2:10, woken up 3 minutes early by Karl
Made it through the first night. We met at the diner at 2 just to make sure we all stayed awake.
Got up at 7, feeling a bit groggy (basically end of first full day) but not too bad yet, guess tomorrow will be worseStreuthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15665457757174658289noreply@blogger.com
