Day 14 - Naps 1, 2, & 3

Nap 1 - Alarm: 3:50am

Ah... nothing beats a perfect nap. I'm not sure exactly what that bump-without-noise is at 3:42am, but I don't think it affected my nap at all.

Nap 2 - Alarm: 7:20am

Another perfect nap! What away to end this 2-week adaptation period!

Nap 3 - Alarm: 12:50pm

After having lunch with my brother, then dropping seeing him off back to the mainland at the airport, I needed to take a bus over to a car shop to pick up a repaired car for a friend that had just deployed. Luckily it was a 45 min bus ride that should have started at 12:15pm, however buses are always late. 

I was in a comfortable window seat by 12:25, when I realized that if I could quickly fall asleep on that nearly-no-seat-left bus ride from the airport, that I wouldn't even have to change the alarm for Nap 3 and would still wake up within 10 minutes of my ETA.

So I did and it was brilliant. The graph is all over the place with movement and sound (as expected), but as that became the "norm" my body/mind found peace and I merrily drifted off into a comfortable dream about the new Elon Musk idea, the Hyperloop. 

I was a bit stiff after waking, but I totally avoided all symptoms of sleep loss until about 8:00 when I began to feel the slight pressure behind my eyes again.

Day 13 - Post Nap 2

Alarm: 7:20am

Woot! Perfect nap!

It took a tiny bit longer for me to fall asleep than usual, as expected, but using proactive sleeping techniques like:

• regulated my breathing, 
• ensuring that the room was dark, 
• being completely still 
• in a comfortable sleep position, and 
• letting my mind wander about, 

I was able to fall asleep within several seconds.

Strange occurrence though, for the first time, I woke up with our new puppy curled up in our bed for the first time. She was curled up between my knees as I slept half on my stomach, half on my side with my arms crossed under my face.

She must have been a little ninja in getting up on our captain's style bed, because she can't even see on top of the mattress standing on her hind legs and yet she didn't trigger the SleepBot sensors.
