Spamayl - Day 3

The last 24 hours have been good, although so far a little inconsistent with the periods of time spent sleeping. I found that I only needed my alarm twice and would often wake 5 to 15 minutes early. The nights that I would often be awake I found I couldn't sleep more than 15 minutes at a time, which I'm sure will change and stabilize soon enough. So here follows the times I slept in the last 24 hours or so, and for how long:
20:00 - 15mins
22:30 - 30mins
12:00 - 15mins
01:00 - 15mins
04:45 - 45mins
06:00 - 30mins
07:00 - 30mins
10:30 - 15mins
14:00 - 30mins
So altogether I've slept for 3.75hours, which is quite an improvement. I found I really enjoyed the night naps, even the premature ones. They felt so long and refreshing, and would often end with REM. I haven't particularly felt tired during the day, although when I have I've taken a nap. I can only seem to sleep for 15 minutes at a time in the day though, and often feel groggy if I try to sleep for longer. So these two things I've noticed.

First that 30 minute naps are more refreshing at night when they involve deep sleep, and that 15 minute naps are more refreshing during the day, and that if I need longer I can always take two back to back, separated by at least 30minutes. Also this is more convenient, only having to sleep 15 minutes a time during the day.

So my Spamayl plan has changed somewhat. The idea is to get between 4 to 6 thirty minute naps at night, followed by 2 to 6 fifteen minute naps during the day. I believe this will work much better. That would average to about 3.5hours of sleep per night. I'll probably sleep a little more at the beginning though, although I'm hoping to tone it down to about 2.5hrs though over the next month or two.

Otherwise I haven't felt particularly tired today. Surprisingly I haven't felt any different to the way I was sleeping before, whatever that was. I'm really rooting for this personalized schedule. Tomorrow shall be interesting.
