Polyphasic Sleep - Day 1

Since my last post, I went to work, worked all night, until 9 am. Then walked to the train station. Arrived there by 9:30. Took the 9:35 home. I slept only a very brief nap of 5 to 10 minutes on the train around 10:00. I expected to sleep longer but it didn't work out that way.

I got home about 10:30. I tried to take a nap at 11:00. I set my timer for 30 minutes and my alarm clock for about 11:40. 8 minutes later the alarm clock rings!

So then I tried it again at 11:30. And again, the alarm clock rang after 8 minutes! A second attempt foiled, so I checked the instructions. Found out, I should set the alarm time by winding the needle counter-clockwise.

Got real sleepy before noon. So I prepared my alarm clock and set my timer again for 30 minutes. At approximately 12:30, my timer rang and so I got up. Everything as planned.

I ate instant ramen and two slices of toast for lunch. Drank some milk too but it was not delicious. Although it said low-fat, it seemed too thick.

Then while downloading language files from the internet, I began getting sleepy around 15:00. I kept myself up until 16:00 and took a 30 minute nap. This time I woke up within the last minute, just before the timer was ready to ring.

Waking up from both naps was hard. The second one much more so than the first. I will be going to work tonight. I will surely catch a nap on the train. I'll have to transfer once as the train will come to a terminal station, so it will be safe to nap on the first leg of the journey. On the second half, it would be risky to fall asleep as I would run the risk of going past my final destination (station). From there, I will walk to work.

I think I will eat at KFC. I always have a chicken fillet sandwich when I eat there. This I will do after getting off the train.
