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.

Dymaxion Sleep Log: Transition
Dymaxion Sleep Log: Transition. Monday, July 14, 2008. I have been transitioning towards the Dymaxion Sleep Schedule for quite some time now. This transition has had two stages. One day (July 5) about three weeks into my China Trip (July 5), I was checking my email when I whimsically decided to start researching Polyphasic Sleeping. I read Steve Pavlina's web page on Polyphasic Sleeping, and I was so interested that I could not look away from the screen for a few more hours. I have chosen a plan that wil...
