Day 10,

12am: slept for 20, then 20 more!

4am: got right to sleep
8am: again went to sleep quickly

12pm: a little late getting into the sack but all goes well
4pm: didn’t think I would fall out but went right to sleep

8pm: struggled to get up – going to sleep very quickly now – my goal is to fall asleep in less than 1 minute – struggling to stay up until midnight – don’t want to screw it up again – my workout is at 2am -

Day 9: Back at it

so I took a few days off of blogging and, well that ain't right.
Generally I am sticking to it but there was a 12 hour and an 8 hour nap in there - yeah, in three days that could almost be mistaken for regular sleep! But I have been training my brain to get to sleep more quickly and I am getting some REM in the short naps. Thought I really had it goin' on there and then negotiated just a little more sleep. Wham!

12am: just grabbin’ a few extra winks
4am: slept straight thru
8am: woke up groggy
12pm: actually got some REM
4pm: same, still not falling asleep quick enough
8pm: couldn’t fall asleep in first 20, so reset for another 20 – went well

In the beginning

Day 5, June 6, 2008
I have been inexorably drifting towards this new schedule and it looks like it is in place now –

12am: 20 mins

4am: 20 mins
8am: 55 mins

12pm: 20 mins – excused myself while Glenn was here –at office – thought I would be too anxious to fall asleep but it worked out
4pm: 20 mins – excused myself while at Bruce’s house – everyone was supportive
8pm: 20 mins

Day 4, June 5, 2008
Had two 1-hour phone calls – last one very upsetting – wheels came off and I slept all afternoon -

Day 3, June 4, 2008
12am: slept for an hour

2am: went to the gym
5:17am: slept until 8am – too long!
12am: nice 20 minute meditation
4pm: restless meditation and then dropped off – bonus – woke up at half hour without alarm!

8pm: skipped
12pm: wow – I was going to allow myself an hour’s sleep and I woke myself up after 22 mins of sleep!

Day 2, June 3, 2008
2am: stretched first, meditated, just starting to drift off when alarm went off! Cognitive a little off – bad typos – couldn’t figure out how to spell cognitive!
6am: decided to allow myself an hour and ended up sleeping until 8:23! Damn, I am such a bed-lover! I am sticking with this, though
10am: skipped
2pm: laid down for 20 – no sleep
7:30pm: laid down for 90 minutes – might have slept for 20
10pm: skipped
feel very good, cognition is good and excellent energy – maybe I am bi-phasic – still all good

Day 1, June 2, 2008

6am: NA
11:30am: Nice little bit of meditation, no sleep
