So we had a rough weekend. I'll admit that. We also had a rough Wednesday morning.

I had a realization early during the overnight that I wouldn't be able to safely drive to Iowa City on Wednesday. I was really, really tired after 24 hours on the schedule after so much sleeping (about 12 hours combined Sunday and Monday) during our out of town "failure."

I decided to take a series of power naps starting at 4AM. I napped until 4:30, woke up, and then until 5:00. I also napped at 5:30 and 6:00. Then something happened - maybe Sleepy Karl came home - and I didn't wake up until 10:10. I was really discouraged. I didn't tell Jake, but I was actually ready to throw in the towel and pull the plug on Project Sleepy. We had made 4 attempts, and each one seemed to be weaker and weaker - at least on my part.

He ended up sleeping until 3PM or so yesterday, but attempted to nap at 8PM. Since he had made the effort to nap and get back on the schedule, I decided not to mention anything to him. After all, I had taken a nap at 6PM after working all day in Iowa City. I napped at 10PM, 2AM, 6AM, and am about to take one at 10AM. I'm getting close to 24 hours since my last sleep, and I feel better at this point than I have during any of my Uberman attempts.

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated with my progress. Hopefully Jake can find some time to give an update himself. We have an unofficial agreement to post at least once per day. As long as I'm hitting my naps, I can do it. Prepare to hear more - and hopefully see some new video soon.
