Chaotic Progress

03/12/15

Yesterday, I woke up at 5 a.m., only to go back to sleep at 5:40 and not wake up again until 8:30. Yesterday, I woke up at 4 a.m. and basically stayed up until 21:00 (9 p.m.). My goal is to eventually fall asleep at 20:30 and wake up at 04:00 everyday. It seems I'm making a sort've chaotic progress towards that goal.

Perhaps I'm making progress towards that goal in a PID-control fashion. I guess I'll know if I wake up well before 4 a.m. tomorrow. Which actually feels likely, as I seem to have caught up on sleep and will now sleep much less if I overslept the day before.

I think fighting this pattern would be a waste of effort. It's better to influence this pattern towards my ideal sleep behavior. I've had too many arguments with myself early in the morning over waking up early. It's time to avoid those arguments all together, and simply accept the fact I will sleep in if I don't setup my sleeping according to some arcane art I've yet to properly grok.

On a positive note, my pomodoro progress is growing in a more linear fashion, with lots of review and reflection on the system itself. Check out my diary if you're interested, Stephan.
