uberman day 6

Highlight of the day: two extra naps - 11:30 am & 6:30 pm. Didn't help. In fact the evening nap screwed up my otherwise energetic evening. So from today onwards no extra naps. Again 10 am to 5 pm was toughest but better than previous days. Best time right is the morning 5 to 9 period. May be cause I am outdoors during this time.
Some observations:
1. I was feeling very very sleepy during my afternoon lecture. It was getting almost impossible to keep my eyes open. One reason is sleep deprivation. But I think there is more to that. One is I was sitting very near to my teacher and position was such that I had look up. Now looking up induces lot of stress on already tired eyes. I Will sit on last bench from now onwards and see if it helps. Also focusing long distance is easier on eyes than short distance.
2. Partial tiredness can be explained that till now the muscles controlling my lens shape(to focus) were used to work only 16 hours per day but now they have to work almost 22 hours. So there is some coping up to do over there. I will see if closing eyes shut (not sleeping :D) for 5 min every hour helps in warding off tiredness.
3. Also as my brain is awake for more number of hours so the neurons will have to work more. More work translates to more energy requirement and more neurotransmitters. So some adaptation over there also.
