Nothing too exciting to report today. As I wrote earlier, I was really tired when I got up, but it passed by mid-morning. I took my afternoon nap earlier, at about noon, and once again found myself waking up after 10 or 12 minutes then going back to sleep. I tried a second nap around 5:30, but it was a complete disaster. It’s the first time I’ve seriously tried to nap while the little one was at home, and she ended up waking me up about 7 minutes in, and then there was some more noise a few minutes later, so I never really got to sleep.

In general, this might be a serious challenge. It’s going to take some work to get her to understand that she really needs to not wake me up while I’m napping. I guess that’ll be a project for this weekend. Also, I’m probably going to need to try earplugs for some of my naps this weekend.

I realized today that while I’ve certainly been feeling a little unfocused the last couple days, it’s a little tough to figure out how much of that is the sleep changes and how much is the fact that I got yanked onto a new task at work, and it’s just not exciting me that much. Basically, I’m reverse-engineering configuration file formats. What fun! I’ve gotten a couple chances to drop back to something enjoyable for a few minutes, and then I’m productive again, so there’s clearly some effect coming from this specific task, although I might do a better job just pushing though it if I were less tired.
