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 3

Day 3- Saturday

Waking up was bad today. It felt like I had been wrenched from my sleep forcefully. I had a slow morning, just wanting to watch tv. I need to get active first thing in the morning. Maybe I'll go for a walk to wake up, because sitting in a warm chair reading just puts me to sleep again. Showers would also help to wake up early. Ugh, such a groggy morning. When it came to my 12:10 nap, I was asleep within a minute of hitting the pillow. However, my afternoon after that nap was full of energy.

I seem to be doing pretty fine on this new schedule. Although I have small bouts of daydreaming every now and then, I am not much more tired than normal.

Naps have been increasing in quality. I sleep deeper and do not wake in the middle of them anymore. I also have been able to fall asleep better, but that's probably just tiredness.

The mornings have been getting boring, and I need to find some constructive activities for them. Maybe doing homework in advance? Morning walks/runs??
