Sleeping Patterns

Over the course of a week I recorded my sleeping patterns on how taking a nap during the day affected my normal sleeping hours. I also recorded how I felt the that morning and my thoughts at the end of the day. The normal time I go to sleep is around 11:30 and during the school week I get up at 6, but for the sake of this I forced myself to get up at 6 everyday. These are my results:


Wednesday:
Morning: Today I woke up wide awake and ready for the day. At the moment I am quite focused so I'll do my best to be focused all day! (No nap today)
Afternoon: No homework today, that's good, but I had to work 6-11. Ah, well, life's good. おやすみ!
Thursday:
Morning: Today is also a good day. I woke up just as awake as yesterday and definitely ready to go! (15min nap at noon)
Afternoon: Today was a long day. I was just thinking that maybe I'll minor in writing. As in maybe creative writing or journalism.
Friday:
Morning: Today I'm a little bit tired. It's nothing to hold me back though. I'm still focused. (3omin nap at noon)
Afternoon: Ah, so glad to be home! I only had one class this morning, but I had to work 2-11! Then I had a bunch of homework I wanted to get done tonight because I would not have time to over the weekend. Got that done. However, now I'm finally starting to feel sleep tugging at me. おやすみ。
Saturday:
Morning: I slept in a few extra minutes before forcing myself out of bed. Today I am very tired. It's not so bad though; I'm just a little bit slow at moving today, kind of lazy. Off to work today. (30min nap at noon)
Afternoon: It's been another long day. I like having long days. It means that coming home and relaxing feels so much better in the end. Also, it means that I have stuff to do all day!
Sunday:
Morning: Still woke up only kind of tired like yesterday. Another day to head to work. My thoughts right now? A little scattered, but it's okay. I'll wake up more as I get moving. (45min nap at noon)
Afternoon: I don't know what I want to do right now. I'm wide awake! I'll go watch movies. That's always fun.
Monday:
Morning: Ugh, I'm exhausted today! Utterly exhausted. It's a good thing I don't really have to do anything today. I really don't feel like doing anything at all. (1hr nap at noon)
Afternoon: (Forgot to write something)
Tuesday:
Morning: I woke up exhausted again. I'm kind of really scatter brained. It's a wonder I'm writing this. I can't focus on anything. My thoughts are kind of crazy. No more naps, only normal bedtimes for me!!!! I'm off to school now. Hope I do good in my classes. I have a test in Japanese... I'll do my best! (as I was rereading what I wrote I noticed I spelled a lot of things wrong haha)
Afternoon: IT'S OVER! No. More. Naps. Sleeping wastes so much time.

I also recorded everything I had time to do when I didn't need take so many naps, but I didn't find it really important so I didn't include it. I just found out that, like I stated Tuesday, sleep wastes time!

By the end of this I learned that I definitely can not take naps during the day. They disrupt everything. Being over tired leads to my brain not functioning right. I seem to slow down and become lazy. I couldn't focus much when I became exhausted (lucky I passed my Japanese test ^-^). It was fun, though, because it was amusing reading how bad I write at 6 in the morning after just waking up haha.

Later,
