2:00-6:45
Starting to remember more dreams during core sleep, now. Felt like going outside to water the plants first thing in the morning.
13:00-13:20
Felt almost reluctant to fall asleep, maybe because I've had such a slow start with studying this morning.
17:30-17:50
Some pretty clear dreams! I love it when I can get those several times a day.
23:15-23:35
Came back from visiting some friends, so nap was late (planned on it beforehand; would have had to go home around this time anyways because of classes the next morning).

I think I'm finally getting used to the 6:45 wake-up. I was fully alert a lot quicker, and had plenty of energy by the time I started heading for the bus.
13:00-13:20
Fell asleep almost instantly this time. I was thankful for this nap after classes... plus I remembered a few dream fragments.
16:30-16:50
The earlier nap on Mondays and Wednesdays doesn't seem to be adversely affecting my energy level, which is good. I still have to think ahead a bit to make sure I have all my school stuff ready before the nap.
22:30-22:50
I had more energy than usual tonight, although it wasn't hard to fall asleep for the nap.

2:15-6:45
A fairly late betime last night, which was nice. I've always been a night owl. Had to take a shower to wake up completely in the morning, though, so maybe I went just a little overboard.
13:00-13:20
A little slow to get up, but one thought about all the stuff I had to do got me moving (still reluctantly).
17:30-17:50
I was studying so much today, I almost didn't want to stop (almost), but the nap really helped bring my concentration level back up again.
22:30-22:50
I am once again reminded of the benefits of having more waking hours, such as finishing a ton of homework due the next day without being tired in the morning. Not a bad deal, in my opinion.

Woke up fairly easily, though I was yawning for most of the morning. Maybe I wasn't really ready for the later bedtimes after all. I'm going to need to pay more attention to my body... I guess I'm just not used to doing that :P
13:00-13:20
I think I'm starting to fall into the weekly routine rather nicely. After morning classes, I have some time to hang out and study at school, then I get back in time for my 13:00 nap, have lunch afterwards, study some more and take a break, then head back for an evening class after the early 16:30 nap.
16:30-16:50
When I think about it, it seems like my concentration is noticeably better for this class than it was for a class I took last semester of similar difficulty. Maybe having it right after a nap and the classes more spread out during the day makes a difference? Or maybe I'm adjusting better.
22:30-22:50
I think I had some dreams, which doesn't seem to happen as often for this nap period.

22:30-6:45
For some reason, after my 22:30 nap last night, I was really tired. I conscious enough to think about it and decided that since my goal was to pay attention to when I was starting to get tired, this was a good indication that I should go to sleep earlier. Seemed to work fine, since I had no problem waking up in the morning.
13:00-13:20
Took nap in car. Tried out the alarm on my cell phone, although I guess I forgot to turn it on (heh, whoops). Woke up within a minute of when it would have gone off anyway, which was pretty cool.
17:30-17:50
Got back right on time for the 17:30 nap, which doesn't always happen on a work day.
22:30-22:50
I don't even remember when I fell asleep, exactly, but I was startled out of a dream when the alarm went off.

Lots of energy this morning, which is good because I had to take a test. I was up rather late last night compared to the night before that, but I was paying attention and didn't seem to be too tired at the time.
13:00-13:20
I really got thinking about things this morning (as in, meaning of life and other fun stuff), so I definitely needed the nap when I got home. Had clear dreams, which didn't surprise me; I tend to have more vivid dreams if I've been thinking about things a lot, and they seem to make things clearer and simpler.
17:30-17:50
Didn't sleep for much of this nap, unfortunately. My mind was still too awake, apparently.
22:30-22:50
Slept with the lights on this time. So long as I face away from them, I can fall asleep just as easily as with them off. I'm a bit faster waking up too, so maybe it is better for me with them on after all.

I don't think I was in my right mind this morning...when the alarm went off at 6:45 I climbed back into bed with some lame-brain rationalization and fell asleep until 10:15. I think I had set the “snooze” on, but must have turned it off without being conscious of it. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the snooze button is not an option, even for core sleep. Maybe I pushed my bedtime too late too soon last night? I was rather distracted with what I was working on at the time, so I wasn't really paying attention to when I started to get tired.
13:00-13:20
I thought I wouldn't be tired for this nap, since I had such a long core, but instead I found myself rather lathargic waking up.
17:30-17:50
Still feeling lethargic after this nap. Went downstairs to get some food and that seemed to help some.
22:30-22:50
I'd been studying for quite a while, so I was definitely ready for a mental break. Felt ready to get back into it once I woke up, surprisingly enough.
Stats (taken 23:30)
BP & pulse: My mom moved the blood pressure machine from where I usually keep it to who knows where... and she was asleep, so I couldn't ask her where it was. I'm thinking I'll keep it in my room from now on.
