Everyman: Days 5-11

October 4th, 2009 at 9:16 pm [ # ] · Everyman sleep schedule · life ·

So at the beginning of last week I thought I was off to a good start. I was hearing my alarm at 6, and although I went back to sleep, I knew I had the potential for only sleeping 3 hours on a consistent basis.

But that lasted for a whole 2 days before things went even further downhill. I still wasn’t consistently hitting my nap times, most of it due to the fact that I had a bajillion things to shoot, and I never had time in the evenings to consistently fit in my naps. It was spotty, at best. By the end of the week, I was sleeping at 3 and waking up at 8:30, with barely enough time to shower, eat breakfast, and scoot to class. No time for devos or working out. Bleh.

Anyways, Friday and Saturday night I decided to sleep semi-normally in hopes of resetting my sleep clock. Friday night I was super cranky while I was shooting the Parent’s Weekend Block Party. Part of it was due to the fact that I hate going to large events with no central focus and horribly cheesy MC’s. The other part was due to the fact that I never had any really consistent good sleep the entire week. So at about 9:30ish I took a nap with no alarm. I woke up around 1:30ish, and did some work until 4. I slept until 8:30, which felt good for once, and went on to shoot for the entire day. I had a camera in my hand from 10 until 6, with maybe a half hour break for lunch. Talk about intense.

And after going to the Ken Davis / Choral concert I dumped the photos and went to bed at 11:30. Yes, you read that right, Timmy Huynh went to bed before midnight. I slept almost a full 9 hours until 8:30.

So I guess here goes the restart. I’ll probably try going to bed at 2 for now, and trying to get 4.5 hours of sleep. If I can get up at 6:30ish, that would be fantastic. If not, I’ll probably wake by 7:30 which will give me more time for my regular morning duties.

And off we go again…
