So I went to get my Dymaxion nap this afternoon and I had set my To Bed time at 3:45pm, wake window at 30 minutes and alarm time at 4:00. I lay down at 3:35-ish.
Well, I lay there and lay there and checked the time at it was 4:00
I realized that if I’m going to get a nap that I’m going to need to quiet my mind.
Fortunately for me, I invented a method to do this which I developed.
I reset my watch for the alarm at 4:30, To Bed at 4:00 with a 30-minute window.
My watch woke me up at 4:26 and I was very rested.
Hooray!

Every once in a while, I don’t sleep so well.
Last night there were high winds that came in with heavy rain with a drop in temperature, there were neighbors yelling at each other last night and my day wasn’t the usual happy-go-lucky day as I normally have.
Out of some sort of confluence of all these events, I didn’t sleep so well.
In fact, when my watch tried to wake me at some point before 6:30 AM, it couldn’t. It woke me up just like a regular alarm clock because I finally got some deep sleep during the last part of my sleep but I didn’t go into light sleep (where the watch would wake me up) during that time.
