Sorry I’ve been so lax lately.
For the same reasons as last time I’m delaying (temporarily!) any drastic change my sleeping pattern – this really isnt a good time to be feeling sub-optimal at school. The extra time awake – even if it came at the obvious price – last week was incredibly useful, particularly one [...]
The last 18 hours have been rather tiring but perfectly bearable overall. Alertness has ranged between fully awake and alert, to, at one point, falling asleep while talking. (sorry!). these fluctuations in alertness, I’m assuming have everything to do with the quality of stimulation at the time: almost always felt fully alert when talking to [...]
As crazy as it may sound I’m fairly sure I’ve just done so. I decided to have a nap – WHILE ALREADY ASLEEP.
I was listening to some music last night, and the last thing I remember I was half-way through track 6 of an album and then that was it. I assume I fell asleep. [...]
I forgot about this. I previously mentioned (I think and hope) that I’d be taking naps “as required” but it seems better to keep it structured, as per any other successful polyphasic adaptation. Nap schedule: 0600.0800.0930.1030.1150.1350.1520.1700.1830.2000.2130.2300.0000.0100.0200.0300.0400.0500
Yes, I know that’s too many. I’ll be playing around with different times/quantities of naps for a while, I think. [...]
I don’t have much to say but for the purposes of keeping an accurate log:
Currently sleeping 4 hours monophasically with 1 or 2 randomly placed naps throughout the day if I get the time and can be bothered. (It’s interesting that I can cope like this – given the choice I sleep 12 hours a [...]
I’ve not posted anything here lately since my discipline in the last few days was terrible and I haven’t really had anything interesting to add. Just a cycle of “oversleep; get up angry, go to school, skip a couple of naps, go home, oversleep, and repeat”. My getting sick didnt really help things; it probably [...]
Well I feel like crap but I can confidently say that my brain is working as well as it ever does, judging by the maths I was just doing.
I think I overslept this morning… maybe an hour or so? I can’t remember anything that happened between 9 and 10. But as long as I dont [...]
The last few days seemed to go both very well and very badly: at the end of day 1 I decided to go back to monophasic sleep (temporarily). Reason being that excessive anger seemed to be a side-effect of a weeks worth of heavily disturbed sleep, and I didn’t particularly want to be taking my [...]
Okay, despite having slept, on average, a couple of hours a night for the last 5 (having been half-heartedly attempting Uberman, skipping every third nap or so), I’m calling this day 0. I overslept enough that I doubt it the last few days will be of great help now. Also, just to clarify, in the [...]
This is a blog about polyphasic sleep.
Octaphasic sleep: Eight naps per 24 hours, each 8 minutes in duration.
Oh, how I will miss the first few days of trying to adapt to Uberman: those lengthy naps were truly a luxury.
As to the name of this blog, I had no idea so I chose the least creative [...]
