Day two

So far this has not been as bad as other people made it out to be. So either I am adjusting easier than most people, or the worst is still to come. I'm hoping it's not the second one. I had good energy levels for most of the day. The only really difficult time was from midnight to 5am. I had a lot of trouble staying awake. I had to walk around in circles and do jumping jacks so that I wouldn't fall asleep.

I have been dreaming during my naps, which is a good sign. This means I am getting REM sleep (the important kind).

I've also been eating like it is nobody's business, but I am justifying it with the fact that I am awake for 5 more hours each day than usual, thus I need more nourishment.

I'm starting to feel the late night exhaustion coming on. I'm hoping it isn't worse than this morning because it was hard to make it through. I have bright lights on and music pumping. (p.s. "Bare" is so much more heartbreaking on shuffle at 3am when you are sleep deprived.)

Sleep update: In the past 64 hours I have only slept for a total of 6 hours.
