Daily notes from the challenge

Failed to return home early, once more. But this time, it was an honest failure, not another caving to a fun dinner. I only got 5 hours of sleep, but holding up well so far.

I did it! I really did it for real! I slept more than 6 hours for once! And turns out, it's easier to find beauty in small things and enjoy life when you're not running pathetically low on sleep. Who would've thought 😅

I have only been sleeping three-ish hours the last few days. I'm carrying a headache, and my days are blurred. I didn't write the logs here either. But I did manage to keep my waking-up routine going. Instead of backfilling, I'm just going to accept I fumbled and begin again.

Repetition of the same story: late bed due to a long dinner, waking up early, being tired all day, going to another dinner and getting late to bed again. The embarrassment of writing these every day is weighing on me.

Another "late to bed, early to wake" day. I'm starting to think I'm not really making much of a difference. I’m waking up early, but it's not really fixing the real issue with my sleep. Maybe I'm just collecting fatigue more efficiently.

Yet another 2 AM bedtime. With 4 hours of sleep. I held on okay throughout the day with the mild headache. I really wanted to get to sleep early, like I do every day, but ended up failing miserably, like I do every day.

I feel in a meme spiral and it destroyed my streak. But at least my abs got a workout. Despite the late night, I woke before 6:30 AM and pushed through a moving day.

A beautiful sunrise run and lakeside breakfast felt like a win, but by evening my circadian rhythm betrayed me again. I still woke before 6:30 AM, hoping to be dead by sunset.

A light workout, good food, and an early dinner finally lined up in my favor. For the first time this challenge, I got to bed before midnight — and actually slept the longest so far.

Survived the day, only to be late to bed again. After dragging myself around, I somehow became awake in the evening and ended up wide awake past midnight. My circadian rhythm and I ain't friends.

Couldn't fall asleep despite being tired. Woke up before 6:30 AM. Drank six coffees and crashed hard in the evening. The real issue isn't waking up - it's sleeping on time.

Stayed awake past bedtime fixing bugs on Naprevive - the app meant to help me sleep. Woke up before 7, hit the gym, and kayaked across Phewa Lake at sunset.

Day 1 of the challenge started interestingly. Got really late to sleep but woke up on time at 6:45 AM. Running on 3 hours of sleep, feeling fine.

Worked the entire day to get Naprevive ready for launch. Still a lot to do, but determined to finish this challenge within the year.
