Thread: CAT - Cycle Adjustment Technique

I went to bed at 00.30 PM yesterday (today technically) and woke up early for the first time at about 7AM.
After I've done this 7 times in a row, I will get up at 8.30AM.
I have encountered some problems though.

1) It took me over one hour to fall asleep! So I had only 5,5 hours of sleep. Looks like I will have to rethink my schedule?

2) My alarm clock is loud. REALLY loud. And you can't turn it off without moving around. It has mind-erasing properties apparently, because I can't remember anything of my dreams after I turn if off. I'm on a tight schedule, so autosuggestion is not good enough. I guess I'll have to come up with something new. Maybe my watch? It beeps for 5 seconds at regular intervals. Maybe that will wake me up.

3) On those days when I can sleep longer - can't I just wake up naturally? Or does it have to be exactly 1.5 hours later?
