Day 16 - Can't Remember Much

12:40am

I was very tired before this nap so I was waiting for it to come around and when it did I went right to sleep.. had a dream and felt really refreshed when I woke up.. I decided to play some Singularity to wake up but it actually didn't help too much.. that game isnt as face paced as battlefield and I don't have to focus as much.. so I found myself actually sleeping during the time I was playing.  If i can remember to take a shower after THIS nap everythin should go fine.. If I'm able to watch a movie after takin a shower and make it to 4:40am playing any game shouldn't be a problem just as long as I get that shower in

4:40am

alot of the time before this nap and after is a blur until about 6am.. I know I was up because I remember bits and pieces of the nite but I don't remember what i was doing.. l took the nap and everythin went fine.. I even had some dreams but when I woke up at my desk I didn't move my pillow :\ so I put my head back down at 5 and was semi awake for a while... I don't remember being awake, but I have some messages that I sent after 5am so I know I was.. I ended up wakin up and bein alert around 6am.. not sure of what happened and thought I slept from 1:30am to 6am but luckily for me I was able to remember more of whta happened as the day went on.

8:40am

Been thinkin about what happened earlier today and been wondering if I'm going to start over completely or keep trying.. I see many people that have 2 attempts to get uberman to work and I'm wondering if I'm one of those people.. I feel like I'm very close and that the problem with fallin asleep is somethin I can get over as long as I stick to a plan of showering and activities to do when I feel like I'm close to that bad palce where I can just fall asleep any second.. I was thinking about skipping this nap because of the problems I've had but decided to just lay down and when I did I wasnt able to sleep like I thought I wouldn't be able to be but I did get some nice rest on a couch.

12:40pm

I was pretty sure aobut starting over but after I took this nap it seems I was able to think alot clearer so I thought about what I was going to do and I think I'm just going to stick it out for 1-2 more days and then see how it goes.. I don't see why I should stop now.. if I did get tons and tons of sleep last nite that would help with my sleep deprivation right? I usually feel so much better after I sleep more tha I'm suppose to but of course its not somethin that I want to happen when I'm adjusting..I was thinking about ways to figure out what happened last nite and luckily with RescueTime I was able to see some activity instead of bein idle for hours and hours.. there was a time when I was idle for 2 hours straight, but with raptr.com I was able to see that I was actually playing Singularity for an hour and 20 minutes of the 2 hours that my computer was Idle. so 40 minute sleep aroudn 3-4ish if i DID goto sleep and another 40ish a little after 5.. doesnt sound too bad.. not worth stopping over.. I'll monitor my actions better though and I'm setting up some more timers/reminders to let me know when its time to do somethin


4:40pm
I think I might try sleeping most of my daytime naps on the couch and then night time naps in my chair.. maybe that will help me balance this out better than I have been lately.. I don't have anythin else to really say about this nap other than I haven't gotten any REM sleep yet.. so I'm pretty tired when I wake up


8:40pm
Still no REM sleep! ahh! Hopefully I'll get it the next nap since I'm not feelin refreshed and alert at the moment.. I'm pretty tired now so hopefully I wont fall asleep.  I been looking for some type of Idle Alarm for OSX.. just something that sets off an alarm when a computer is idle for X amount of time.. would actually help out alot with this difficult phase of adjustin
