- I was intending for it to count as a "yes" for the day even if the shower was technically after midnight.
- This would have been the same even if it were several hours after midnight, as long as I hadn't gone to bed yet.
- This presents a problem: today I have decided not to go to bed since it's starting to look too daytime-ish.
- I guess I'll have to count things between whenever I've decided the day should start/end, so a day ends when I go to bed for the night (regardless of whether or not it's still technically night-time), and begins when I wake up. Naps do not end or start a day. A new day begins if I decide to scrap the idea of sleeping.
- However, I'll run into a problem if I get tired too early today from the skipped night of sleep, and as a result have a nap which ends up being long enough that on waking up I decide that I should treat it as a new day. This will confuse things, as it will be ambiguous - does that nap count as a night of sleep or a nap?
- I could log sleep AND showers, but then the work starts to drift away from my original intentions.
- I could just log the showers based on the actual date, but then it feels inaccurate if I shower a bit past midnight then go to bed (it will count as a skipped shower).
- I could start my log again and plot it on a timeline.
- A timeline would be less appropriate since it is not about number of showers over time, or about how spread out they are. It is more "all-or-nothing." Did you shower? Yes, you win, or no, you fail.
- Conclusion so far: if I decide to finish my day and I haven't showered for that day, I tick "no," and if I have, I tick "yes." This is the case whatever time I decide to finish the day and whether I decide to finish it by sleeping or by deciding not to sleep. I will just have to record this over a period where my "days" do not get dramatically out of sync (i.e. my sleeping pattern can be shifted badly, but I won't have six twenty-eight-hour days instead of seven twenty-four-hour days).
