[…] I’m using SleepTracker to keep track of my naps, according to the software I’m averaging a little under 3.5 hours sleep per day over the last 3 days, which includes my oversleep. This should still be little enough to be causing a major REM deficit and I’m certainly starting to feel it. If you don’t count my oversleep I am now at 39 hours with 3 hours sleep (averaging 2 hours per 24 hour period). […]
[…] Sleep Tracker: Polynapping @ grelly.com » 3: Sleep Tracker Software It sounds like if you slept well in the afternoon and were able to fall asleep easily at night, you’d be getting enough sleep. Experiment: Intentionally sleep after school from 4pm to 5:30pm perhaps in your bed with a sleep mask. Set an alarm, and get up immediately when it goes off. You’ll be more rested if you sleep in bed intentionally than if you allow yourself to drift off somewhere less comfortable. If you’re going to get up at 6am, be in bed by midnight. Making the afternoon sleep more refreshing should make it easier to shorten, and less sleep during the day might make sleeping at night easier. Keep the same schedule during the weekends. If after three weeks you still struggle, you can adjust things to see if something else works better. Maybe you go to bed earlier at night. Maybe you shorten the afternoon sleeping to a 25-minute nap. Maybe you lengthen the afternoon sleeping to 7pm. The key is finding something that works for you, and experimenting takes time. Stick to one schedule consistently (even on weekends) for three weeks to give it a fair trial. For any schedule that’s even moderately reasonable, and these are, you want to give your body time to settle into the new pattern before assessing whether or not it works. When you want to go to sleep, imagine packing all your busy thoughts in boxes and putting the boxes on shelves. Tell yourself, "I am setting this aside for now. If it’s important, I’ll deal with it tomorrow." Be truly willing to set aside all the worries, concerns, planning, analyzing, etc. Once you’ve set your busy thoughts aside, do some sort of dream-like visualization. I sometimes imagine soaring over forest-covered hillsides, which almost always sends me into dreaming and sleep very quickly. I’ve also found that if I’m TOO tired, it can be harder to fall asleep. Good luck, and please let us know how things go! […]
