Day 7: Get out the big guns

As far as the naps go, the 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm were on time and of the right length. I also slept on a lounge chair on the beach from 12pm until 1pm, which didn't seem to affect the following naps.

For the 2am nap I slept until 3:30 (with my alarm going off the whole time) and then because I hadn't trained my wakeups I fell back asleep before I could figure out where I was.

I don't remember my 6am alarm, but I slept until 7:30. Blah.

Basically, for the coming day I'm going to have to be strict during the daylight and get out everything I can think of during the night.

Here's a list:

• Change my alarm since I sleep through the current one now


• Turn the volume up (I had only been using 80)


• Add my laptop as a second alarm


• Use headphones on my laptop (I have Sennheiser 595s)


• Sleep on the hard floor or a thin rug


• Practice my wake-memory


• Get a human alarm (I wonder if I can talk my brothers into this)

I have 3 more nights before I have to get back on the plane. I need to pull through all three of those nights without messing up or else I will be sorry. Make no mistake, I still want to get this and I don't think it's too hard or that I'm going to fail and give up.
