Polyphasic sleep day 16

Last night was clear and smooth. I enjoyed myself listening, reading and knitting.
In my drive to work I was fully awake, not a trace of tiredness. At last. I must admit I had a cup of weak green tea before I left so maybe this has given me a boost for my drive.
However after my 8am nap at work I found myself struggling again. This was new to me as that never happened before. Eventually around 10am I gave up and had a coffee. That was such a relief but I was also worried if I would be able to go to my midday nap without any problems. Luckily I went into a deep sleep straight away and woke up refreshed and in a good mood.
During the rest of the day I was alert and in full control. I have only three day of work left but there are lots of deadlines to meet. I even took some work home and already worked on it for couple of hours.
It’s almost midnight and I’m looking forward to my nap. I must say what I miss the most is relaxing in bed and meditating. I can’t do it yet as I just fall sleep straight away. Today before my 8pm nap I was trying to do some energy work but I just went to sleep. Mind you it was just 10min before my nap so no surprises that I went out as soon as I hit the pillow. I was trying to do meditation sitting up but again as soon as I close my eyes I’m gone. Hopefully that will improve with time.
I’m starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. More often I have some moments of total bliss and brilliance.
Doing the uberman schedule and working full time is quite tiring so I’m looking forward to holidays.
