Even though I said unscheduled sleep wasn't going to happen yesterday, I did.. BUT! I did figure out some things thats going to help me from here on out.  I've heard of people taking extra naps and I wasn't sure if that was something I would want to try or not just because of the extra naps needed. I'm going to be sticking to my 6 nap schedule, with extra naps at 2:40am, and if needed at 6:40am.  The reason is an extra nap at the times that are difficult for me to stay awake will help me get through those dark/zombie hours until it's daytime.  I will still be tired, but I shouldn't be as tired so it seems like it would work out pretty well.  I was dozing after this nap so I decided to hop in the shower.. got out at about 2:17am and just didn't know what to do with the time.. I keep forgetting to do important things like plan what to do after my naps so I have to get that goin.. need a set schedule.  If I can get through tonite without the unscheduled sleep then I'll be able to have Bad Company 2 in the middle of the nite since it will be the weekend so that should help me out some..I tried bein active last nite and it didn't work out too well.. I was going to draw, but I fell asleep before I could find my pencil ;(

4:40am

I slept right through this nap.. woke up with tons of alarms goin off.. I think I'm used to the sound of my alarm that goes off every 15 mins.. need to change that sound

8:40am
I laid down for this nap but wasnt able to fall asleep.. so  i got up about 5 minutes before 9am and made some food

What I usually do for naps is I'll set the timer on my Iphone to 20 minutes, and then I'll enable alarms that go off at 1:00pm, 1:02pm, 1:04pm, 1:06pm, 1:07pm.. but this nap I didn't do the 20 minute timer since I was lazy and instead of 1:00pm, 1:02pm, 1:04pm, 1:06pm, 1:07pm I set it for :00am, 1:02am, 1:04am, 1:06am, 1:07am.. so when I pressed the power button on my Iphone to see what time it was I was happy to see it was only 1:04pm and not somethin like 4:00pm.. I think I'm adjusted or pretty much adjusted as far as my sleeping times/pattern.  I just have to deal with that unscheduled sleep at nite which I'll figure out soon
