Polyphasic Sleep - Day 3

I lied down for a nap from 22:00 to 22:30.

And again from 1:37 to 2:02. I think I did not get much sleep from this one.

Napped from 5:30 to 6:00. I didn't fall asleep quickly. I would like to fall asleep within a couple of minutes but I'm not at that point yet.

Another nap from 10:30 to 10:55. After 13:00, I became very sleepy and so started doing nothing. That led to almost falling asleep in my chair at my computer.

Decided to take my next nap at 15:38. With timer alarm set, got up 30 minutes later from a deep sleep. Felt like I slept for quite a long time. Hard to fully awaken from. I forgot what I was dreaming about. That's what usually happens with the use of alarms.

Took a nap from 21:30 to 22:00. I was sleepy prior to this time but when this time came around, I was not sleepy. But I decided I don't want to put the naps any further apart than 6 hours from the start of the previous one. I didn't know how well I would be able to fall asleep. I think I fell asleep within 5 to 10 minutes. I think I did not sleep so deeply. I'm not sure how beneficial this nap was. But I did sleep and that is what counts.

Overall this day was not too bad. Perhaps the next 24 hours will be worse. We'll see. This is probably more like a day 1 or something since I had slept too much yesterday and not enough the night before. Not sure how much that set me back. I guess it couldn't set me back any further than to day 1, which is essentially starting all over. As a temporary side effect of this adaptation, my ability to compute numbers and such which involves holding things in your short term working memory, has been seriously hampered. Since I don't follow any schedule for the naps, I keep trying to figure out how many hours I have been awake since the last nap or since the last nap began, and I keep having trouble figuring it out. Well, one problem is that I wrote 15 on the paper but it looks like a 16. Anyway, as you would expect from a person who is sleep deprived, I am not too sharp and I am easily irritated by noise.

So I am just going with the 30 minute nap times and I will try to sleep every 6 hours, or sooner if I feel that the nap before was not of quality. I will change my writing style from the next post. Instead of always writing in the past tense, I will create a draft and write down things as they occur along with the time of entry. So then at the end of the day, I will publish the post and there will be exactly one post for a day. I will set the post time to the actual time of publishing the post. Normally, if the time is not manipulated, a blogspot post is set to the time that the writer began writing the post. So if a writer takes two hours to finish a post, the time would be set to when he started and not when he finished creating the post.

Total approximate amount of sleep for Day 3: 2 and 1/2 hrs.
