Well after I posted, about an hour later I started having a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open: Video
Between 6am and 7am I had about 3 or 4 instances of falling asleep for a few seconds at a time, and a couple where I fell asleep for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. I then felt fine again by 9am. This only goes to show how predictions are not of any value at all at this point - I really can go from alert to zombie and back within the same waking period.
Annoyingly, I accidentally set my loud alarm for 11:50 rather than 10:50 when I went for my nap at 10am, I slept through the quieter countdown timer alarm and didn’t wake until the loud alarm sounded, so allowing for how long it took me to fall asleep I still must have had at least one complete sleep cycle, which has probably delayed my adaptation. In any case, my body needed the sleep anyway, as my cold and swollen throat have recurred again this morning, though not as badly as yesterday.
