Prep is DONE!

Ok the scheduling of the naps is now DONE! I had to create a main schedule and 2 variations for school (one for A days and one for B days). The verdict is that I will be taking a 30 minute nap at 2,6,and 10 a.m and 2:30,6 and 10 pm (the 2:30 being that I will not be able to sleep at 2 due to school). The minor variations are that on A days I will have to sleep at 10:40 due to school requirements.
Another thing to bring up is from what a lot of other people who have done this have said the chunk of time between 2 am and 6 am is the hardest (probably because you are used to be asleep at that time). They say that this is a crucial time to really have something to do or else you are pretty much doomed to fall asleep. They say planning lots of things to do is the key to keeping yourself awake. That usually includes every day things like doing laundry or paying bills or what have you. But during this 2-6 am block I want to do something special so there is no way I can fall asleep. So I am going to start coming up with a list of "unique goals" stuff that you don't do on a normal day basis that I could possibly do during this chunk of time. So when I get that list done or partially done I will post it here along with all the rules of this experiment.
Well that is it for now. the 1st nap is in t-minus 35 minutes so I will tell you all how that went as soon as its over (My guess is that it will be nothing ground breaking)
