Life Experiment 01.02 - Preparation 2010.01.15 01

I enjoyed my sleep last night. It started late but I got up late. I'm not going to worry too much about my schedule for these last couple days.

I was hoping Julia would do this with me. She has no interest. Most people I'm sure don't... but it was my only hope to make getting UP easier.

Kitchen is in great shape. Worked a lot on it yesterday. Loft maybe today. I want my environment to be conducive to wanting to be in it.

Some initial adjustments that I'm planning:

• For no more than a couple days I'll adjust the sleeping time to 45 mins ea to account for the fact that initially I will not likely fall into REM sleep quickly.

• I'm moving my iPod/iPhone alarm clock back to the loft, but not within reach of the bed. My alarm needs to not only be loud, but also it needs to force me to get out of bed to silence it. If that doesn't work I don't know what will.

I'm planning on having water, energy (and vitamin) supplements at bedside so I can take them immediately and enjoy the hopeful benefits ASAP.

My friend Robalee is hesitant about all this. Her reading about it hasn't spoken favorably about doing it, but I haven't read things the same way.

I'll update more as the day progresses.
