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 5

Day 5 - Monday

I officially love having the mornings to myself. Watching tv, relaxing, and being able to get a little work done is great. I end up with around 3 hours to do whatever I like! Mornings are starting to take the stress out of my day. If I am able to relax at the beginning of the day, I am much more willing to do lots of work late into the night. Also, having a set bedtime is nice. I no longer have to worry about getting to sleep early, so I can force myself to have fun up until 2:00 am!

Unfortunately, today was the first tired day that I have had since adapting the Everyman. Throughout the day I was slightly exhausted, waiting for the next nap. As usual, I got more energy throughout the night, but this night/morning imbalance will hopefully work itself out as my body fully accepts my new schedule.

When left with nothing to do, I began to feel sleepy today, as if I had not gotten enough rest the previous night. Can it be- is my body lagging behind on this schedule?
I love having this regimented sleep schedule, but I'll have to see how far my body falls behind on this schedule.
