As I said in my last blog post, I'll continue to report on my progress, warts and all.
I think I may have been too tired last night and started too late. I did everything much as I'd done the previous session, got up a nice buzz, but never was able to get over the hump into an O. I fell asleep fairly quickly too. I awoke about 4am, tried a session then, got nowhere, removed the Maximus, then dozed until the alarm clock went off.
Has this put me off? Definitely not. There are a few points I've noticed so far from my journey: that my best sessions have been when I've not been tired (early evening has been best), and that a period of dud sessions often precedes a step up in experience.
