I’ve Gone and Done it

Yesterday I looked at my calendar and realised I have nine days until school restarts and from reading Steve Pavlina‘s sleep blog I gathered that I takes roughly that amount of time to get through the adjustment period. So i decided to go for it now.

This part of the blog will be in English so it will hopefully aid other people looking for info on polyphasic sleep. I’m not going straight for the Uberman but taking on the Everyman sleep schedule. Hopefully, it will be less of a drastic change and more flexible and compatible with the rest of the hibernating world. But this should still give me 4-4.5 hours of sleep in contrast with the 6-8 normally taken.

So, as of time of writing, it is now 6:20 in the morning. I’ve been up for about an hour after sleeping for 3.5 hours. I’ve woken up rather easily. There is still a big of a fog in the brain and my typing speed is slower than usual but I’m not making too terrible of typing mistakes. I’ve spent the last hour on my morning routine and this is the last part of it. So far, I’m feeling good. I took several mid-day naps in the past few days and my last cup of coffee was about three days ago. And currently, I’m eating some junk. Which makes me wonder how well I will adjust since I’m an omnivore and Steve is a Herbivore.

Update: It’s 10:30 and I should be heading to bed. Feeling slightly drowsy but not dead tired. Hopefully I would be able to get some sleep with all the woken up people now. Main point on my mind now, though, is wondering what today’s xkcd comic is about.

Update: 17:45, I am passed my second nap of the day. It feels like 2 am after a long exhausting day. People around me are drinking coffee and I’m trying to hold my temptation down. Today will be funny – there is the Pesach dinner with Maayan’s family and then we’re going to see some friends. Should be funny.

Update: 1:40, waking up from my 22:30 nap, I felt like after waking up in the morning – still a bit fuzzy but ok if I keep my energy high – and now, though I technically have another hour or so before my scheduled nap, and I’m feeling ready for it but not exhausted, I’m going to sleep. One thing I did promise my wife is that I will go to sleep with her. So I will keep my promise.
