Dymaxion sleep - Day 7

I accidentally set my alarm for 2:30pm instead of 2:30am last night. Doh.

I can’t even remember what time I did this, it must have been around 1:45 since I normally set it for 40-45 minutes. I woke up at 6am so that’s at least a 3.5 hour oversleep, quite possibly more depending on when I actually set the alarm.

I broke another one of my own rules yesterday by drinking coffee, which I thought I’d get away with, so there’s another lesson learned. It’s possible that this had nothing to do with it, but I haven’t needed to take an extra nap during the 10pm-4am waking period before, it’s normally the 4am-10am waking period when I find my energy lowest. I know my 4pm nap yesterday wasn’t as restful as usual and that I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep, so I guess the coffee at least made some difference.

It’s impossible to say at this point whether or not this has seriously set back my adaptation, but since I’ve overslept 2 days in a row, and have overslept today for an indeterminate period of time, it’s quite possible it has. The only thing I can do right now is wait and see for the next couple of days.
