Day 31 OFF - Fri June 18 - OFF #2 - part 1

Hadnt slept at all due to the exam yesterday and focused myself to make sure I get into bed for 9pm and try and fix my sleep cycle.

I got to bed at 8pm after watching a movie and eating eating eating so that I was hungry no more thus content to get to bed.

Luckily being a no sub day/off day I was able to put on a 1hour sleep meditation from YouTube. I also turned off blue light on my phone and laptop and realised I need would need to schedule this in. I got to bed, took some adapotgens and minerals for sleep and boom was out by I dunno 9pm atleast. I say this as Im sure I woke at some point and heard the youtube track and fell asleep again.

I woke at 6.55am thinking it was 12 or 1pm and thus I had over slept so yup I was very pleased!!!

Woke, washed, ate breakfast and a cup of morning tea and chocolate cos im celebrating this huge success and milestone for me lol

Anyway back to the sub so its 10.22am here and if i can maintain this sleep cycle of 9hrs sleep at the very least then ill be giving my body all it needs to finally function at optimum.

So time to consider increasing the loop now to 2 loops a day instead of 1 I think.

So my new protocol shall be 2 loops a day, 2 days on and 2 days off.

I will also focus later on in the day to read over this journals, as its been 30days and see what I can see if anything in terms of execution as I know I still have fear - based on yesterdays exam it was there as was procrastination somewhat and laziness. The fear to study is very much still there too I think though im more accepting of wanting to study.

I also realised that waking up early leaves me at a loss as to how to fill my time and day but is that a fear im unsure but could be a reason I may have become a night owl. No idea but a thought.

Addendum:
So not last night when I had this 9-10hrs sleep but the night before or before that I do recall putting my head on the pillow and feeling some tension in my head that I felt when I first played the sub. However this was an off day and i just recall this now. So whether that days tension was the sub or simply how I may normally be has caused some doubt in my mind but either way ill still be hitting play and proceeding ahead.

Addendum:
Whilst thinking about now increasing the loops to 2 a day rather than waiting until my sleep is regularly fixed I also have the urge or feeling to add a silent track for 30mins to the start of the 2 loops. Unsure why so will ask shannon about this.

Addendum:
No tiredness. After 9-10hours sleep maybe it was 11, I dont feel tired. So it seems on this 1 days data that perhaps the previous days tiredness was not the sub but the crazy sleep regime I had. Time will tell.
