So, I haven’t posted for the last week since I haven’t made much progress as of yet.  In fact I’ve been falling into a bit of regression, not that I want to quit already, but it’s not the easiest thing to keep to this schedule when I wake up tired in the middle of the night and the bed is comfortable.  As you can imagine, I’ve done some oversleeping, but it wasn’t completely accidental.  I was hoping to catch up on some sleep to perhaps reduce the sleep deprivation effects I have.  Really, that only includes some bags under my eyes and some night-time tiredness.

Anyway, last night and the night previous I slept through the night… or at least kept going back to sleep when I woke up till it was time to get up.  I’ve still been taking my naps and have actually been sleeping during those daytime naps I was having a problem with before.  The nap I have the hardest time falling asleep during recently is my 9:30 PM nap for some reason.  This isn’t too surprising to me though, considering even on monophasic sleep I’m more of an evening person and have always felt a boost in energy as the evening comes.  Even if I had hardly any sleep the night before and was tired all day I was OK in the evening.

But anyway, the extra sleep I’ve gotten hasn’t left me feeling better.  In fact, I’ve felt overslept and a bit malaise without a lot of energy these last two days.  Sunday, I’d had about 8 hours of sleep, after my afternoon naps I felt better, but I couldn’t fall asleep in the later evening.  Yesterday I’d had another 8 hours or so again, but was feeling similar and was tired at my morning naptime at work, but again felt better once I took my naps.  So after not being able to sleep during my 9:30 evening nap again I figured it was time to get back on the ball and stick to my schedule.  Tonight’s been alright, but I feel like those last two nights have been kind of like hitting the reset button.

Anyway, it’s time for another nap, and then I’m headed to work, so we’ll see how it goes.  I’ll try to update a bit sooner next time since it helps a bit with motivating me to keep going… not that I want to quit, but again, some nights it seems very reasonable to lay back down in bed.
