A Brief Introduction

This blog is my reports on my sleeping activity during my polyphasic sleep experiment. For this experiment, I am sleeping for 5.1 hours each day: a 4.5 hour core-sleep at night, and two 20-min naps scheduled evenly throughout the day. In order for this to work, I need to be strict about my sleeping schedule. Bedtimes must be punctual, and naps must be within an hour of my assigned times. It is a tough endeavor, but may eventually be worth the 4 hours I gain during my day.

Day 1

Yesterday was my first day on polyphasic sleep! After going to sleep at 2:00 am and waking promptly at 6:30am, I was feeling great.

In the morning, I was energetic, using my extra 3 hours to my advantage. I got so much done by the time everyone was waking! I felt like a productivity genius. I finally have time to read my magazines and catch up on TV episodes.

During the day I took my naps, falling asleep within 5 minutes of hitting the pillow. Calming down before the nap is a big consideration now: I need every minute of the 20 that I get.

My energy level was great throughout the day, with just a slight period of drowsiness after waking. I felt fine at 2:00 am when I went to bed.
