Made it!

So, I made it through all of yesterday and last night. I was a little worried that I wouldn't.  Between about 4:30 and 5:30AM was particularly difficult this morning.  I was really fighting to stay awake.  However, once I made it to my 6 o'clock nap I was fine.

Surprisingly, I feel great! My eyes still have that tired feeling, but mentally and physically I feel great!  I've been getting tired about a half-hour before it's time for me to sleep and so it works out perfectly.

Also, my naps feel really long. I just woke up from my 10 o'clock nap (the time stamp thing on my posts is an hour off) and when I woke up I was sure I had overslept; but it turned out I was right on time: courtesy of my alarm clock.  The same thing happened with my 2AM and 6AM naps last night.  I woke up around 6:12 and I felt like I had slept for several hours so I panicked.  As it turned out I still had eight minutes left to sleep.  After the eight minutes were up I had a similar feeling because it felt as though I had been asleep for at least an hour, maybe two.  When I woke up from my 10 o'clock nap about  a half hour ago I felt really well rested and like I had been asleep for a long time.

I'm hoping this means my body is already adjusting to this schedule.  It could just be that I'm delusional, but for now I'm cautiously optimistic about the fact that I feel this great.

Realistically though, I imagine that tonight and tomorrow will be very, very hard to get through.  I wish I had someone else doing this with me or something that would keep 100% of my attention at night and would keep my brain active.  I think that's why I had so much trouble last night around 5AM: I didn't have something to keep my brain active.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good about this. I'm a little sleepy, but overall I feel pretty dang good! :)
