Day 4

Day 4 - Sunday

Mornings are a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I have a bunch of free time to catch up on work, watch tv, and play video games. On the other, my morning time is usually dead, with me struggling to stay awake until around 8:30. That part is difficult, and I'm trying to figure out a natural way of staying awake early in the morning. One of the biggest problems is that my mornings are spent sitting and working on my laptop.

Again, I gained lots of energy as the morning progressed, and I eventually had great naps at 12:10 and 6:30. Naps have been a godsend, making me slightly tired afterward, but then I have had energy all day.

Nighttime is not a problem. I stay up easily until my bedtime, and then fall asleep easily. Unfortunately, energy during the night is gained at the expense of feeling horrible in the early morning.

I have noticed an increase in the quality of my naps. I fall asleep within a couple of minutes of hitting the pillow. I sleep deeply through the 20 minutes, and they seem effective in keeping my energy level high throughout the day.

Overall: I am surprised by my progress. 4.5 hours sleep per night is unheard of for me, halving the time that I usually get to sleep. However, besides the morning, I am functioning on par or better than I usually do. Naps are easy to maintain with a College schedule, and I am hoping I can fully adapt soon.

To work on: establishing a good morning routine, being more awake in the mornings, earlier breakfast (maybe will solve the first two)
