First Sleeptracker Nap
Posted: January 18, 2010 at 2:32 pmSo today I thought I would experiment with using the Sleeptracker watch while taking a nap.
It worked really well but there is a bit of a trick to it.
I had set my alarm for 1:30 with a 30-minute window and I started my nap at 12:45; my To Bed time was 1:00. My alarm woke me up right at 1:08 which wasn’t really enough time to nap. I had fallen asleep by 1, but got less than a half hour of sleep.
So, I decided to try something different.
I set my alarm To Bed at 1:30, gave myself a 60 minute window and set the alarm at 2:30. The result? I was woke up at 1:40. So I ended up getting two naps and woke up feeling rested and fresh. What’s nice is that I feel physically refreshed as well as mentally refreshed on this one.
My Dymaxion sleep times are going to be at 2/8/2/8. I think what I’ll do is to try my To Bed time at 2:30, alarm by 3:00 and have a 30-minute window. That way I will go to bed so that I’m asleep by 2:00 and will sleep at least a half hour and then wake up between 2:30 and 3:00. After a while, I will adjust this so that the To Bed time will be 2:25 and maybe 2:20 or 2:15 and see how that goes.
