These last two weeks have been extremely hectic. My workload has increased while College has begun to speed up as well. Let me give you a run down of typical day for me.
0600- Physical training (group training)
0730-Change, shower, eat, and drive over to work
0845-Begin work
1130-Break for lunch, which include either additional physical training, catching up on school work, napping, or running basic errands because everything is closed when I'm finished with work.
1300-Begin afternoon work
1700-Close out the day with a After Action Review (it's a report that reviews the things we did that day and how to improve them or what to keep) and clean up.
1730-Leave Work
1800-Arrive home, shower, make and eat dinner and prepare uniforms for the next.
1900-Leave to attend a study session to help out fellow classmates
1930-Arrive at study session
2200-Arive back home from study session and close out College homework for that day
0000(Midnight)-Go to sleep
0445-Wake up to get ready and drive to physical training.
So throughout my lunch break and in the evening, I've learned to incorporate power naps. These are about 20 minutes each and I try to take at least two per day. Power naps refresh my mind and help me focus on the task at hand, such as school homework or work homework. If you feel like your in need of more time, power napping might be for you.
Power naps sound like a necessity to supplement your 4.75 hours of sleep each night. At least you have regularity and job security with the military :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy and exhausting day. Thank you for serving our country! I love power naps, sometimes they'll be 15-20 minutes, sometimes they'll turn into 2-hour "naps". :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could handle a schedule like yours. My sleep is interrupted throughout the night because of my little one, but I still average 6-8 hours each night. I think I would be a zombie if I had less than 5 hours of sleep each day. Thank you for your service to our country!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very busy guy. I am also a fan of the power nap and I totally agree that it can help refresh you to push through what you need to get done.
ReplyDeleteI don't think i could handle that schedule either, I need my 8 hours sleep to function, that's great you can do so much in a day.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly occupied! A power nap is a must with your schedule. I do agree power naps are rejuvenating.
ReplyDeleteYou are an extremely busy person, I see why power naps are important. I just hope power naps won't be a part of my daily routine any time soon.
ReplyDeleteI love naps but keeping them under an hour has always been a struggle for me.
