Allyssa's Cycle - Game night

12:15pm
So my dad thought it would be a great idea to ride our bikes to our game (we play on the same team, weird sounding but the league doesn't have an age restriction and I love any opportunity to beat him), and of course it pour rain for the ride home (but hey, I still beat him home)

The game went well, i don't believe the sleep cycle effected me in any way physically wise, I actually think the early morning improved my endurance. The problem I did have was the effect on my mind, a couple times i got really mixed up which isn't usual. If this cycle stops that or at least lessens it, I think it will be extremely helpful in the future so I'm not a dough head every time I'm tired
Staying up at night isn't really a problem because its impossible for me to fall asleep in front of the TV and I cant really do anything productive (not yet at least) because I'm not one for concentration; especially when I'm tired.
Corbin has been able to be awake enough to work at night so the competitive side in me is determined to get used to working at night, and if its quicker than him; well...that's just the name of the game. right?

For those of you reading this at this time of night, koodos, you are half way there to the sleep cycle, just wake up at 5 every morning and you'll be good to go :)
Sleep tight!

Allyssa's Cycle - First Afternoon

4:30ish pm
I am so tired!
I napped from 2:20-3:20 and it was very deep, but then when I woke up I was even more tired and slow minded. Like this  morning I forgot to tell you how I was physically and mentally handling this so far. This morning i just felt dopey, nothing out of the normal tired feeling. Although I do have a headache from not having any caffeine (For this experiment and other reasons I am going without my daily morning coffee) so i hope I can get over this quickly.
 
Today I shouldn't have watched so much Scrubs and actually did something productive like clean the house like I was suppose to. Tomorrow I will defiantly find something to do, like the gazillion craft ideas stumbleupon.com has given me.
   
My game tonight is at 6:30 and my position is only running, so we will see how that goes! I am actually very interested to see how athletic I can be with this cycle.

as of now if I continue this after the 10 days I would continue to wake up at 5 and go to bed at midnight  because the morning is actually very nice and the extra hour wouldn't hurt and there's not a whole lot for me to do at midnight anyways. 
That is the up-to-date news and I will be back tonight to post about how the game went

Bye for now

Allyssa's Sleep Cycle - First Morning

8am

I didn't end up going to bed until around 1:30 because my sister was watching her show and then Scrubs is just too good to not finish.
5:30 this morning wasn't that bad actually, I stayed in bed for a while and talked to Corbin but didn't fall back to sleep which was pretty great! Hitting snooze instead of shutting my alarm off was the best advice from Corbin on how to get up on time because really, who wants to get up at 5 in the morning?
Since i have a game tonight i decided to just go for a walk instead with my dog. This morning was so cool I should have bundled up more, but it also helped me wake up.
London the Labradoodle also referred to as: meathead, and snickers




so today I don't know when i will need the hour nap, i will just see how it all goes and blog afterwards
Enjoy the day :)
