This isn’t working. During all my naps, I wasn’t able to fall asleep at all, and when my 4am nap came around, I did the old “sit on the bed” trick after I turned off the alarm, and the next thing I knew, it was 11am.
When I started this experiment, I started the naps after a full night’s sleep, which meant I wasn’t sleepy at all. I think what I am going to do today is wait until I am very tired, and then start my naps from there.
Also, the new rule is that after turning off the alarm, I have to get out of bed and make a cup of tea or something else to drink, then check my email. At least this will give me a fighting chance.
