First day back on the horse.

The dogpark, first Nosework class, potty training and training recall.

Thoughts about the experiment within the experiment of waking up after I have slept the full 7,5 hours.

I woke up very late today. Not trying to feel bad about it. And I guess I haven’t yet made it to 100 days. Close enough.

Another longer episode. Taking it easy this easter weekend. Trying to get enough time in bed.

Rebalancing my efforts because of sleep deprivation. A longer reflective episode.

Fragmented sleep.

Plus three degrees. The snow thawed yesterday and the resulting slush froze overnight. Difficult walking conditions.

A very fragmented and short night.

6:45 of sleep (not time in bed) seems to be the magic duration, when looking at old sleep tracking data from about a year ago. Which means that the additional half hour I’m trying to get every day really makes the difference.

Special, extra unprepared edition! We finished up puppy school this week. Little progress on the potty training front. Little dog training in general. Longer walks. And a little more about anger (ego depletion).

I said I’ll try to keep it under 10 minutes , it ended up being about 15. Still better than 20+ minutes.

That half hour makes a difference. Didn’t need to get up in the night because of the dog.

Feeling good thanks to more sleep. It’s foggy here.

The first sleep cycle data is in. I slept about six and a quarter hours.

Trying sleep tracking to figure out if I get enough sleep.

Waking up on hard mode.

Indeed: Slight changes in the environment makes habits harder to perform. But I did it. Also: Lots of new snow.

Even slight changes are disruptive. My Partner leaves town for a night. Wondering how tomorrow morning will be.

Napu‘s potty training is going well. Carpet shewing. Realities of being a dog owner. Not enough time to exercise at times. There are times when unwanted behaviors occur but training is not possible. (Still) Getting angry sometimes and how to think about that.

Apologies are in order: for the episode being late, its length and the wind noises. 🍃

Being an early riser is an introvert‘s game.

The siren song of talking to yourself and not getting up immediately almost got me today.

It’s really cold. But hey, there are geese honking.

Going to bed earlier works. It’s the end of end of March and they are driving snow out of the town.

Super sized early riser today. I’m struggling to go to bed in such a way that I get enough sleep. I have to redesign my environment or go back to waking up at 6:30.

If you wake up earlier, mornings are darker again.
