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.

My Schedule

I will be attempting the Everyman 4.5 polyphasic sleep cycle. Here is my schedule:

-Sleep from 2:00 am - 6:30 am
-20-Minute Nap at 12:10 pm
-20-Minute Nap at 6:30 pm

This relies on the fact that I go to bed exactly at 2:00 am each night. This will be hard, but I can manage.

The timing of the naps is crucial- they must always happen within an hour of their assigned time, or I will throw my cycle off and become more tired than necessary.

The first two weeks will be a living hell, I believe, but I hope the long-term results will justify them.
