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...

Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 4
Dymaxion Sleep Log: Day 4. Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Section. You can tart by reading about the relative sensations of time in polyphasic sleeping. But just to give a rundown of what I am feeling I feel that some stages seem as if they are considerably longer or shorter then others. One might think that the waking period that seems the longest would probably be the period in which it is hardest to stay awake, feel alert, and be productive. I will call this trend a length-productivity pattern. While I have ...

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 5
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 5. Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Last night I got really engaged in working on my blog. I decided to skip the first two hours of my four hour morning class because I wanted to wrap up the work that I had put into my blog from the night before and because I feared that I would fall asleep in class. When I woke up I was extremely frustrated and irritated. I tried to rant a bit to my friends about my obstacles with Dymaxion sleeping, but I didn't feel like I was thinking logically&...

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 6, 7
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 6, 7. Friday, July 18, 2008. Two consecutive nights of oversleeping would provoke the ire of most polyphasic sleepers, especially when they are in their adaption process. I was slightly disappointed in the oversleeping, but I do not think it will affect me much if at all. In fact, I consider periodic monophasic sleeping to be a potential addition to my complete polyphasic sleeping plan. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 8, 9
Polyphasic Sleep Log: Day 8, 9. Monday, July 21, 2008. In the early stages of my polyphasic transition, my brain was often flooded with new polyphasic sleep related thoughts. Now my experiences seem to be reaching a sort of equilibrium. My new daily thoughts on polyphasic sleep seem to be diminishing. I like to consider this new equlibrium as an indicator that I am becoming well-adapted to polyphasic sleeping. The hardest waking period has continued to be the 7-11am time block. My four hour Chinese r...

Dependence
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Polyphasic Sleeping can be somewhat frustrating at times because it often seems as if the body is not completely independent. Most people have conditioned brains that often crave long periods of sleep. Therefore, polyphasic sleepers can usually not be dependent on the body to help manage the schedule. Polyphasic Sleepers would be wise to construct a reliable alarm system that will get you out of bed quickly and keep you from returning to sleep. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Length-Productivity Pheonomenon
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. In general, the longer a waking period seems, the more tired, unproductive, and sporadic you will feel. The brain likely recognizes a sensation of a long duration of time ahead of it and slows down in order to successfully span the entire time. The reverse would almost necessarily occur as well.

Nap-Length Adherance Theory
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. Here are some suggestions for sticking to your designated nap time. 1 Realize that the biggest challenge is getting up, not falling asleep.
