This weekend has been more of a challenge socially than physically. While working during the week, it was easy to remember to nap, but both days this weekend I nearly forgot to schedule it in. On Saturday, I made plans in the morning to meet friends at 2, then remembered I was supposed to be napping then, and had to move it a little earlier. Today, I was about to head out the door for the afternoon with the little one, when I realized I needed to nap. I imagine this will become more habitual.

Tonight I’m going to try dropping down to 4.5 hours. For the last week with 6 hours, I’ve been somewhat tired, but managing. I don’t feel like there’s any real adaptation happening, though. I’ve noticed in the past that much of the time, 6 hours of solid sleep is at least as good for me as 8 hours of semi-interrupted sleep. So, it doesn’t surprise me too much that this week hasn’t been enough to force any real change in my sleep cycles. And, I’m still having this weird wakeup in the middle of most of my naps. So, I’m going to push a little harder in hopes that changes start to happen.

My big concern at the moment is that it looks like we’re going back to LA at the end of this week. When I decided on this timeline, I thought this trip wasn’t going to happen, but now it’s back on. We’re probably going to be down there for about 2 weeks and I imagine it’s going to be a bit tough to keep on schedule, particularly without having all the normal stuff to amuse myself with when I’m trying to not sleep.
