7 pm Nap Attempt

I knew I wouldn't be able to fall asleep for my 7 pm nap today, but I went ahead and laid down anyway just to get in the habit.  Two of my three alarms went off on time.  The Timex that I was originally worried about seems to get louder over time, so I think it'll be okay.

The third alarm was the one on Bryon's iPod dock.  I suspect I just didn't set it correctly.  I'm gonna look into that and try to get it fixed before my midnight nap tonight.

Also, I have added a fourth alarm; one on a radio I forgot I had.  Hopefully Bryon will not murderize me when they all go off at 12:30 in the morning : )

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was a notably tired at the time of the nap, and that feeling is increasing as time goes on.  Hopefully I'll be able to nap well tonight.

Alarms

So I went to Walmart today and got another alarm clock.  This one lulls you to sleep with brook, ocean, or wind chime sounds, and wakes you up with old-fashioned alarm bell, chimes, or cathedral bells.  The chimes and cathedral bells are softer than the alarm bell, but I hate the sound of alarm clocks (bad trait for a polyphaser, I know), so I'll try to use them first.  Also, I'm ganking my boyfriend's iPod dock that he never uses and hooking it up to my own mp3 player, so I'll have a total of three alarms.  I'm going to sync them, and then set them all for within one minute of each other and place them all over the room.  Sleeping through an alarm? Not gonna happen again : )

Day 8

So, I just woke up from my midnight nap . . . at 6 am.  Dammit.  I need a louder alarm clock.
