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 22

Day 22 - Thursday

I started off on a bad foot today. I'm still on readjustment from messing up my sleep cycle over break. So today was just about the climax, the crucial most tired day before my body is forced to adjust. Days will be easier now, as today was the hump that I had to get over.

The morning was tiring. I went for a hike, came back, ate breakfast, and had nothing to do but sit and watch tv/browse the internet. Bad idea- an hour of sitting down in one place bored made me extremely tired. If I want to keep up this schedule without torturing myself with tiredness in the morning, I need something better to occupy my time with. Maybe if college classes started at a regular time like normal workplaces do...

Afternoon and evening were fantastic. I was a little sluggish at times, but it wasn't too bad. A busy evening kept me awake until bedtime.
