uberman day 5

Overslept 40 mins on my 9:15 am nap. And felt like hell. Felt like I have not slept for ages. The next 1 hour was the worst till now. Took an extra 20 min nap to see if it helps but to no avail. Many thoughts crossed my mind then. One was to give up and just hit the bed. It was a huge huge effort just to keep my eyelids open. Even focusing my vision was such a laborious job. But senses prevailed and I decided that if I ever give up it will be when I am feeling aware and awake.
Coming back to my zombie stage, I used up all my will power to stay awake and when that also didnt work I did what was second nature to me - a superset of pushups and squats with a brisk walk of 3 km in noon (temp was about 40 C). It helped and I survived till my next nap i.e 1:15 pm nap. Had a real nice sleep and felt much better. But as I was to attend lecture from 2 to 5 I drank a cup of coffee to keep me awake. This was my first cup of coffee in adaptation phase. First time I realized what a wonder drug caffiene is :). I glided through the lecture with 100% concentration.
Rest all naps went fine and apart from short bouts of tiredness now and then the day ended well.
(In fact day never ends in uberman :)).
From today's oversleeping incident I now know two things for sure-
1. Make sure not to oversleep.
2. I will pull this thing off.
