| Day 1 Sat 9/30/06 |
I was still delirious from a night out with friends before this nap. I felt tired yet awake. I used Placebo’s 23-minute Sleep Sound Track for the first time, and the nap was restful. I woke up feeling slightly groggy and still delirious. | It was very hard to stay awake before this nap, and I ended up cleaning the bathroom and talking to my roommate. I was relieved to conk out, but I was very groggy when I woke up. A bit of Warcraft 3 woke me up. | I felt energized when this nap approached. I fell asleep with no problems, and bounced awake easily. | I felt a little tired when this nap approached, and although I woke up easily, I felt somewhat groggy and scattered after I woke up. | After a couple games of Warcraft, I finally found a bit of focus and almost missed my nap as I got absorbed in what I was writing. I was worried that I wouldn’t fall asleep, but I fell asleep fine, popped awake, and continued from where I left off before the nap. | I had enough focus before this nap to read, write, and do some light programming. I fell asleep easily, and popped up before the alarm went off. |
| Day 2 Sun 10/1/06 |
My concentration before the nap was quite high and I was able to get things done without music as a stimulator. I got to sleep on time, woke up on time with the alarm, and popped awake without any grogginess. | My nap went as scheduled, but again, I was very sleepy before the nap and very dizzy/ disoriented after the nap (moreso than groggy). This seems to be (as expected) the toughest segment. Actually, it’s the only segment that’s really tough. | It was relatively easy to fall asleep, and I popped up from my nap feeling alert. | I fell asleep and woke up without a problem, and I was slightly groggy after waking. | I was really sleepy an hour before the nap, so I played some Warcraft and accidentally played right up till it was nap time. Despite my overactive mind, I was still able to fall asleep, but the nap was brief. | This nap was ideal. I fell asleep very quickly, and popped awake with zero grogginess. |
| Day 3 Mon 10/2/06 |
I was very energized before the nap. Surprisingly, I woke up not feeling too groggy, but then I soon realized I was sleepy. I fell asleep in the chair for an unknown amout of time but certainly under 1.5 hours. | I was not as sleepy as usual for this nap because of my slumber in the chair. I woke up without any grogginess although not able to concentrate much either. | Fell asleep without problem and popped awake feeling alert (IIRC). | I woke up feeling tired and ended up playing Warcraft for a long time. | I woke up feeling spacey. Not tired, delirious, alert, or groggy. Just spaced out. | I woke up fine with just the sleep track mp3, and I felt minimally groggy. When I got up, I felt sleepier, so I played Warcraft. |
| Day 4 Tues 10/3/06 |
I woke up very easily with only the mp3 (no alarm), and sat up feeling alert. Then I became very sleepy/ dizzy, and stumbled around for an hour wondering if I should jog in the cold, and then I played Warcraft. | I was very relieved to finally get to nap, but I woke up feeling quite groggy. An hour of Warcraft allowed me to conentrate afterwards. | I got to sleep and woke up without problems as usual. However, I’m a little less awake/ alert than normal during this period. | I was groggy after this nap, so I played a limited amount of Warcraft, and I was better after that. | I woke up, and I wasn’t really tired or groggy or alert or anything. But I was able to sit right down and do some school work without any waker-upers. My level of concentration is not amazing but doable. | The nap went normally IIRC, but I was groggy/ dizzy, and then I was quite tired. What else can I say… Warcraft. |
| Day 5 Wed 10/4/06 |
I woke up again groggy/ dizzy and played a limited amount of Warcraft, and then I felt wide awake. | I woke up half-way through the nap, looked at the elapsed time and fell back to sleep instantly. For the next period, I was sleepy and awake at various times. | Woke up a bit groggy, couldn’t play Warcraft, went into work, started waking up while there. | After this nap, I played an hour or so of Warcraft, and then I had energy and enthusiasm to clean my room among other things. | Normal Nap. | I nearly overslept. |
| Day 6 Thurs 10/5/06 |
Normal Nap. | Normal Nap. | Normal Nap. | I accidentally slept for 1 hour. | Normal Nap. | Shortly before this nap, I experienced a violent outburst from a neighbor. I could not sleep at all after that. |
