Day 4
OK, I don't remember exactly the days, haha. But I think I decided to give up, went to sleep early (11ish?) and to my surprise and dismay woke up at 5am! My body has adapted to 6 hours a night!
Took an OK nap in the afternoon, around the right time. I think I was pretty sleepy, if the lack of memory is any indication. Vague recollection of not being able to function properly in the evening. Luckily Kev was here <3
Day 5
Went to sleep late, maybe 1:20 or so, and sadly woke up at 6:30 thanks to roommate's alarm. :( At least the puppy was there to keep me company. She's a total scaredy-cat though.
Took a nap around 1:30, felt OK. Bouts of sleepiness, but not absolutely horrible I don't think. At any rate, I was able to write half of my paper in the evening, so I must have been more functional.
Day 6
Slept a little before 1, automatically woke up around 6:30 or so but slept a bit more just for good measure. Took a nap around 1:40. Slept lighter this time, but overall I don't feel that tired.
I have noticed that food makes a huge difference on this sleep schedule. If I don't keep myself well-fed, I start feeling sleepy and cranky right before I get hungry (about when the sugar boost runs out??). So the diet may have more to do with how I'm feeling, as opposed to the sleep.
It's the weekend again! Now I can conduct my experiment in peace. (:
Addendum: I had forgotten how good classical sounds on circumaural headphones. Panasonic RP-HTX7, I am never leaving you again. <333
