Day 11: The only way to travel

[[Oops, forgot to post this on time.]]

Today I was groggy pretty much the entire day. Probably a good sign, albeit a week late. This schedule is known for it's difficulty during adoption and today sure lives up to it. I think I got to sleep on time for all naps, but I've had 2 oversleeps this day...

Yes, trying to sleep on a plane is bad news. The first plane-nap was the 2pm, and I slept until 3:30 when the plane was about to land. I had the phone on vibrate and in my sleeve but I didn't notice it until about that time.

For the 6pm, I gave my phone to Cale (who was sitting next to me) like I should have during the first flight. At 6:20 he woke me up and I didn't fall back asleep. I has just had an extended rest (from the 2pm) so it probably wasn't that hard to stay awake except for the oppressive atmosphere of a plane which makes me want to go to sleep.

The second oversleep was from the end of the 10pm until my 2am alarm went off. Once again I'm at home and Sarah (my cat) was in my lap and I didn't want to get up... so I didn't wake all the way back up before dozing off.

The 6am went perfectly. Duh, I just had 4 hour of sleep before that :/. I went into it sleepy and on time, dreamt, and woke up without much effort. I had added my 6 alarm to my laptop to go off at the same time too, but it wasn't needed. I found out that my laptop clock was about 20 minutes off anyway.

I still stay up about 18 out of the 24 hours on average, so I can't say that I'm failing, but it would be nice to have a pure 20-hour schedule and not continually have to berate myself for sleeping extra. It would also be nice to not be sleepy for the 4am stint. It's back to school for me in the morning, so we'll finally see how this works with a schedule where oversleeping means missing class or something. The added rigidity should be very helpful at maintaining the schedule I want during the day, though my night time naps will still be too open.
