I wish I had good news here, but I pulled another 50/50 adherence to the schedule over these last two weeks. I’m not giving up yet, and will be looking for was to improve my discipline at 2:30am, but at least for tonight I won’t be trying any of it. I’ve started to come down with something, so my body will need the sleep.
So, what do I do if this doesn’t work out?
Well, I like waking up early, I like the naps, and I’ve had good results in terms of alertness and productivity. And even if I end up waking up at 6:00am instead of 2:30am every second day I’m still waking way earlier than I ever did before. So continuing the way I’m going, warts and all, still seems like a great idea to me.
Another option is to go all the way and try out the Uberman, since I’m able to consistently manage the 20 minute naps. My class schedule actually lines up with it pretty well, so this is a distinct possibility.
The fact that I’m even considering the possibility is cast-iron proof that I’m batshit crazy, by the way.
