Just short updates as these two days were not very significant. Still feel like I am getting closer and closer to full adaptation.
Day 8:
Today went pretty well other than first thing in the morning. I was very tired as I accidentally took a short sleep before heading off to work.
Near 3 oclock instead of gettting tired I started getting a little bit antsy. I didn't like sitting in my desk doing work I really wanted to go and do something else.
Overslept again but this time it was very odd as I wasn't tired. Big tip in getting through the adaptation and this is even good for even monophasic sleep is to not stress yourself out when your sleep doesn't work out like planned. Take whatever lessons you can from the experience like my first two I learned that I needed to more properly set up alarms. You can't beat your self up it you oversleep though, just move on and keep sticking to the schedule. Same if you miss a nap or unable to sleep. The negative effects are going to be much more pronounced if you become stressed because of it. The thing you have to do is stick to your schedule and you body will do the rest.
Day 9:
I switched cars with my brother so that I could have air conditioning as it said it could feel like 38 today. This morning I instantly went lucid at my 9am nap. I didn't wear ear plugs like I usually do in the car and I also didn't have the ac on (I am specifying this in case these factors effect my ability to lucid dream).
At my one pm nap the ac didn't really work but somehow I still managed to get to sleep. It was an experience for sure as it must have been >40 degrees C and I had never napped in a sauna before.
I had monophasic energy levels for the majority of the day. That night was my first return to full capacity Muay Thai. Muscle fatigue seemed to fit in more quickly but this also could be from the break and the fact it was still extremely hot and humid. I don't think I have every sweat so much in my life as I did this night. My shoulders and Quads were worked the hardest.
I have a pretty bad headache which is very unusual for me as I usually never get headaches. I think this is because I could have gotten partial heat stroke from training in the intense heat and humidity. The headache persisted into the night and subsequent naps. It continued feeling better until my 5am nap when it was mostly gone. Muscle soreness started to creep in slowly all over my body however.
