Day 19: 04/17

I had to get up early for the last day of my workshop. I didn't fall asleep until 4 last night, so I only got 4 hours of sleep. I had a 5 hour energy shot after lunch, which helped a lot.

After my workshop I drove to Portland. Went out to dinner and had one beer. Tried to go to bed early, but couldn't sleep for a while.

breakdown:

• up around 8
• very little exercise or time outside
• 5 hour enery
• 1 beer
• asleep around 1

Day 15: 4/13

I got up around 7 for my running class and did not have time for a nap because I had to meet with my documentary group at 11 and we had an interview scheduled at 1 and a meeting with our professor at 3:30, so I pushed through on three hours of sleep, finally getting home around 5. I had a 5 hour energy around 1, which definitely helped me stay alert. I opted not to drink a lot of coffee because it makes me have to pee frequently and I was too busy to take a bunch of bathroom breaks.

When I got home I wanted to go straight to bed, but I knew this was my best hope of getting on a reasonable schedule and I didn't want to screw it up. I was too exhausted to do anything useful, so I watched a few episodes of the Office on Hulu.

Finally at 9 I gave up the fight. I turned on my fan so that nothing would wake me up and I turned out the lights and fell asleep immediately.

breakdown:

• up at 7
• exercise in the morning
• busy all day
• 5 hour energy at 1
• inactive in the evening
• no alcohol
• white noise (fan) and dark sleeping environment
• to bed at 9 (asleep right away)

04/10/10

Had a weekend workshop at 9. Got up around 8:15 and made it on time, but was very tired. Didn't have time for coffee before class. Finally got some at noon on my lunch break. Afterwards I met some friends for food and then had a 5 Hour Energy shot. We were supposed to have a pre-production meeting, but most of the people we're working with couldn't make it, so we just hung out instead. I got home around 12:30 and fell asleep around 3:30.

breakdown:

• up at 8:15
• very little exercise
• 2 cups of coffee at noon
• 5 hour energy shot around 6
• to bed around 3, asleep around 3:30
