Sleep Pattern This
Dan on March 1st, 2006
It seems that I may have finally found a sleep pattern that works for me. It goes as follows:
Naps:
1AM - 2:30AM
5AM - 6:30AM
1PM - 1:25PM
5PM - 5:25PM
9PM - 9:25PM
Total sleep time of 4 hours 15 minutes. I have been doing this for a few days now and have found that it works very well. I’m not tired and my naps can be very flexible without worrying about them. The 9PM nap often becomes 10PM or 11PM without a problem.
I still need to use multiple alarms. I found that using two timers and my cell phone works very well. I set one timer just out of reach of my bed and the other on my dresser across the room. Both go off at the same time with my phone on a 2 min delay in case there is a problem. To shut both alarms off and then cancel my cell alarm I have to get up, shut the first alarm off and then walk across the room. It works very well.
I’ve spaced my eating out a little differently as well. I now eat at the 3, 7, and 11 hours, with the 3PM meal moved to a little before 2PM on school days. This works very well since the timing fits into my schedule and I have 30 min in the morning to prepare each meal.
