Strategies for Staying Awake and Alert
Strategies for Staying Awake and Alert. Monday, July 14, 2008. Strategies for Staying Awake and Feeling Alert. 1 Have Faith In Your Alarm Clocks. We often need to wake up at a designated time. Sleeping through an alarm can lead to explicit negative results. A monophasic sleeper could miss an important meeting and lose his job. A polyphasic sleeper could retard his adaptation period by sleeping more his designated time allocation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Day 1-3
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. It has also been a psychological relief having the 3 hour core sleep at night. On Uberman, the waking portions of time and the nap durations were respectively identical. This made it tricky to decipher the starting and ending points the days. It was as if life was a machine perpetually moving forward without respite. With everyman, the core sleep clearly distinguishes the different days. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Everyman Schedule
Thursday, August 28, 2008. This may look haphazard at first glance, but it is actually quite elegant. This schedule gives me four five-hour sections of time each day. Each block is exactly five hours long. These are the target times. Inevitably, unexpected events arise that make it impossible to follow these times exactly. Fortunately, the impact of napping not at precisely the correct time is less severe with Everyman Sleep than with Uberman Sleep. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Everyman Sleep
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. I tried Uberman for just over two weeks, but unfortunately it just wasn't practical at home. I decided to heed Pure Doxyk's advice from her book Ubersleep. She recommends sleeping monophasically for at least a few weeks between ending one polyphasic sleeping regimen and starting another. I have slept monophasically for the last 30 days, and I have been averaging about 8 hours per night. VIEW MY EVERYMAN SCHEDULE. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Last Minute Phenomenon

The Last Minute Phenomeon is a specific facet of the myriad psychological situations in which the brain makes a decision under duress. Here are two examples of Last Minute Phenomena. 1) Flipping a Coin. What if it's tails? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 1
Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 1. Monday, July 14, 2008. I felt reasonably energized and rested throughout the day. I have read numerous accounts of how difficult it has been for some people to transition to Polyphasic Sleeping. Some have tried to avoid exercise for the first week or so. Despite this caveat, the weather today was so nice that I just had to work out. I was curious to see how my body would respond. I have read other Dymaxion Sleepers say that oversleeping can result in extreme disorientation and ...

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 10, 11
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 10, 11. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Today is Wednesday July 23, which means that I have been on either the Dymaxion Sleep Schedule or the Unberman Schedule since Saturday the 12. Therefore, my current location in the fourth dimension ("location" in time) is the beginning of the 12th day. I will reflect on the past two days (11th and 12th days). I would predominately like to focus on oversleeping and the polyphasic sleeper's task of quintessentially structuring the 22 hour waking day.

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 12-13
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 12-13. Thursday, July 24, 2008. I have a few updates and minor changes to go over. Steve Pavlina started tweaking the rigid napping schedule after about two weeks as well. He found that the naps were more efficient and restorative if he took them when his body felt tired as opposed to at set times each day. Coming Home and Getting Serious. Furthermore and on a more relevant note, I strongly believe that my return home will bode very well for my Polyphasic Sleeping. For the p...

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 14, 15
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 14, 15. Saturday, July 26, 2008. Http:/ www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif. I just got back from China. Today was an absolutely gorgeous Northern California day. I only saw clear sunny blue skies in China a handful of times in 6 weeks which made today's clear blue skies even more enjoyable. I have a few new polyphasic-related thoughts. I would also like to share some experiences that are related to my trip back home. Say Goodbye to Jet Lag and Being a Grumpy Traveler. Now that I am...

Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 2
Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 2. Monday, July 14, 2008. I haven now successfully completed my first weekend of Dymaxion Sleeping! I began on Friday night with a 30 minute nap at 12:30am instead of my usual 4 hours of sleeping at night. In stages 1-4 of a ordinary monophasic sleeping process, breathing slows and muscles becomes extraordinarily relaxed. While many argue that REM sleep (we can call REM sleep stage 5 sleep) is the most critical stage, the majority of monophasic sleeping session is spent in sta...

Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 3
Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 3. Monday, July 14, 2008. Today has been far and away the best day that I have had in the polyphasic transition period. I made it to my three naps with ease, and I plan to take my fourth nap in about half an hour. I overslept only on the 12:30pm nap by about 20 minutes. After my 6:30am and 6:30pm naps, I sprung into action right after my alarms. Other than this expected lull, I was very energetic and mentally active for the entire day. After slightly oversleeping the 12:30pm n...
