My theory is that it will take approximately two weeks (84 phases) for my brain to adjust to Uberman. Also, I theorize that oversleeping and ignoring the schedule limits my brain’s ability to adjust. Therefore, no more of this oversleeping crap.
Sarah asked me today when I’ll call it quits. I hadn’t really thought about it—to be sure, the real answer is “when I’ve had enough”—but the answer that makes the most sense is that I will give up and consider Uberman not for me if I cannot get my brain around it by two days before Thanksgiving. Sarah comes to visit the day before Thanksgiving and her presence would pleasantly destroy any attempt at Uberman in the critical not-really-working-yet stage.
So I started my schedule back up at 6:30PM. That one was hard to get up from; apparently my alarm went off for 11 seconds before I actually managed to turn it off (typical was 3 seconds). However, after I was up, I was quite awake.
My 10:30PM was also hard to get up from, but the more notable event is that I slept a 10:30PM to 11PM sleep correctly and only 10 minutes off schedule (10:40PM to 11:10PM). Progress!
