I seem to be having about as much trouble as I was previously. I stayed asleep after my 10:00 am nap this morning. I have now beat my record for staying up though.
I have now managed to go 40 hours without a full nights rest. I think this will be a good thing to measure my future success against, so I will include it in my future posts, as sort of a guideline. I think the reason that I was able to stay up was that I was doing things with my friends. I missed most of my naps, and I think that is a mistake. But isn't the goal to deprive yourself of sleep? To the point that 2 hours a day is all you need? The naps are there to help you transition.
My biggest problem is getting back out of bed after the naps. I find myself picking up my phone and laying back down with it, to be woken up hours later by my next alarm. Some possible solutions to this, are to get up and immediately do some form of exercise, like push-ups or pull-ups, or to go for a walk. I could also have my ipod nearby when I am napping, and immediately put upbeat music in my ears, so even if I do lay back down, I won't be able to sleep. Also I could nap on the couch, instead of my bed.
Okay, this is the way I am going to state my progress from now on.
Hours on the schedule: 9
Previous Record: 40
