So, I guess I’ll give a full explanation of what’s going on. Firstly, I’m back, and I’m starting up on the Dymaxion schedule now. This is because during the Uberman schedule, after being adapted enough to reach REM sleep every nap, I would never get tired. This was a good thing in a sense. However, when it came time to actually taking a nap, it was impossible to get to sleep within the allotted time for the nap. This, coupled with the next paragraph, meant it was absolutely impossible to fully adapt to Uberman. However, my life is now starting to get back on track, and my life schedule is starting to get back to normal.
So, now for the personal stuff, since that seems to be my M.O. Yeah, break-up stuff and a dying family member. The details in that sentence and what I have already wrote are enough. This is a sleep log, not a livejournal. I need to keep telling myself that and resist any urges to turn whiny or petty.
Continuing on personal stuff: I now have at least one reader and that is amazingly cool. I replied on a comment and said that I would be writing again. That was a couple of days ago, though. I feel like I owe an explanation: that is, the reason I haven’t posted anything in a days since I said I would. The truth is: I spent time with my friends for the first time in forever. That being said, sobriety wasn’t exactly the key word, and skipping naps was fairly common.
The skipping naps, and shall we say “training for college” , made the first couple of days in attempt not worthy of being counted. Furthermore, past just being irresponsible and such, it seems that everyone has joined forces in trying to prevent me from completing a nap. I swear, my grandmother has called (first time in months), mother miraculously woke up and stormed around the house, dog had a seizure, and calls from my father. Generally it has been a pain to keep with this schedule, as missing a nap is horrible in comparison to Uberman. After every time I missed a nap, I’d end up sleeping 6 hours the next nap. (funny, for the Uberman my oversleep would only be 4 hours. I wonder if the awake period determines the oversleep period?) That did not stop me though. Like I said in my original mission statement: I am going to do this, not try. Sure I had a bad period. It’s as I’ve heard on almost every blog though, “Everyone fails their first time.”
I think I am going to end this post here and actually do a 2:2 (attempt:day) post right now.
Thanks for reading

p.s. anyone noticing my single spacing twice in this post. I’m digging it.
