Last night I awoke just before my alarm of 45 minutes again, although I didn't actually realize I was awake and trying to get back to sleep until my alarm actually went off. So far my night nap is the only thing that's staying a constant. This morning my nap was 3.5hrs long, which is okay I suppose but then my afternoon nap which has just gone by was 1.5hrs long. I didn't mean this intentionally but I went to sleep slightly earlier at 2pm and so I couldn't sleep for 45 minutes. In future I'll just keep my nap closer to 2:30pm instead. I moved it back though because I was feeling slightly tired from not having of a nap the day before.
I've decided to move my morning alarm back a little, so I'm getting closer to between 2.5 and 3 hours sleep, that way I won't be in deep sleep when I wake, thereby preventing this sleep inertia I've been waking with. Plus, it'll be a safety net from sleeping too much. Yesterday I averaged at 5.5 hours and today I've averaged closer to 6, and again this is frustrating me further to no end. It's even worse considering how some of it is just pointless time in bed waiting to fall asleep in the afternoon. But hopefully by keeping my nap at 2:30pm that can be prevented. If not then I'm just gonna have to live on the few minutes or so that I do end up getting, hoping that the day or so after I'll be tired enough to just fall asleep.
