We've seemed to slip into a pattern in our naps. Our 10 am naps are by far the hardest to wake up from. Surprisingly, I've had little trouble waking up during any of my other naps. However, the 10 am nap is a different beast all together. Yesterday I woke up at 10:05 am and went to put on my contacts...Russell said he saw me leave, then I came back at 10:30. I had (and still have) no idea what happened between those 25 minutes; I think I may have fallen asleep in the bathroom. I was so tired/flustered that I forgot my wallet leaving, and then realized that I didn't even put on my contacts! This episode scared me a lot, especially considering how tired I was after. However, I managed to regain almost all of my energy back with the naps afterwards.
I'm slightly concerned about the number of vivid dreams I've had so far, namely 0. In fact, I don't think I've had a real dream yet. I don't know at which point dreams are supposed to occur, but I apparently haven't hit that part yet, which means that my transition period could be longer than I expected. However, I fell asleep for sure in every nap in day 4, which was definitely a step forward. I may even adjust my timer from 30 min to 25 min, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
On the bright side, I ate a full and hot breakfast for the first time since...a really long time. I can' believe I've been missing out; I guess I never truly appreciated breakfast before.
I've been thrown off on some of my daily rituals, such as:
1) My phone is constantly never charged enough
I usually plugged my phone in before I sleep to get a full charge. Now I use my phone as my alarm, so I charge it when I sleep, which is now 2 hours instead of the usual 8.
2) I'm not sure when I should brush my teeth
I feel like brushing my teeth before and after every nap is slightly overkill...so I've just been doing it at two random points in the day.
3) I don't know when to shower
This problem isn't too bad. I've started showering after my 6am nap.
4) I don't know when to take off my contacts.
This might be just laziness on my part, but taking my contacts off and putting them back on 12 times a day is a bit much. I usually leave my contacts on for the day naps, and leave them off during the night.
My 10 am nap is coming up, I hope I can wake up in time.
Still waiting for crazy dreams,
-Jon
