Days 1,2

1:58 AM, Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Current results:

Reaction time: .25 (Oddly enough, though, my 5 scores were wildly disparate – this may point to attention problems)

Typing speed  – 100 WPM (No mistakes, though, which was cool)

Simon – Chain of 10 – fairly average

Tetravex – 1:21 (fairly easy puzzle)

I feel surprisingly good.  I had a bit of a false start with Uberman – I may try it again later on during the break, but I don’t really feel that I’m mentally prepared for  a schedule that demanding right now.  As such, I’ve reverted to an Everyman schedule that I did pretty well with previously.  This is a 4-7 Core nap, with standard naps at 1, 6 and 11.  Admittedly, I’ve not been 100% stringent on this schedule, and haven’t actually slept for any of the naps (Although I do think that I entered stage 1 sleep a few times, with the tingly sensation that people often feel when starting this).  I am optimistic, though – I feel great, even though I haven’t had much sleep. I am gradually reducing the core nap over the next few days – I started out just cutting down on my normal sleep a bit, and tonight is going to be the change to a stringent 3 hour mark.  Here’s hoping that it works out!  I am throwing in extra naps here and there to help compensate for the lack of *good* naps and the general difficulty of transitioning, and I think that it is helping.

While transitioning, I’ve been playing Tales of Symphonia on the GC and reading House of Leaves (Which I highly recommend!)    If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, let me know in the comments section and I’ll be happy to address them!
