I feel a bit sleep deprived now, but if I can't stay asleep I obviously don't need it. No adjustment or preparation needed. Pretty weird, huh?

As my body got used to waking up at the regular interval it almost became more 'efficient' at sleep and I could find myself naturally (without an alarm) waking up around 80 minutes. Try shifting +/- 10 minutes. Also sleep on the weekends and start tracking how long you slept. See if you can recognize a pattern.

I've even started to decrease the length of my cycle (90 minutes to 80 minutes) so I can do midnight to 5am and get 4 full cycles. That's an hour less sleep! That’s exactly what I used to do, Graeme.

But seriously, I would still try to get in a nap <em>especially</em> when I'm told to sleep more.
