Polyphasic Sleep - Day 7

I have to go to work today, and I realized that with my current timings, the naps would not occur at convenient times, i.e. lunchtime. So I decided to try giving one longer sleep period before work a try. I hope this will get me through the day longer and then I will return to 30 minute naps.

So, I slept from 3:30 to 6:30.

12:00 to 12:13 nap.
15:15 to 15:51 nap.
16:05 to 16:39 nap.
21:55 to 22:10 nap on the train going home.

Well, the 3-hour sleep did not help me avoid sleepiness at all. Two 30-minute naps would have been just as good or even better. But it did allow me to get away from the computer and allow my muscles to relax completely.

Total for today: 4.5 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 6

3:00 to 3:30
8:10 to 8:40
13:00 to 13:30
17:00 to 17:30
22:30 to 23:00

Total: 2.5 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 5

4:00 to 4:30 nap. I awoke before the alarm, so no problem there.

10:00 to 11:00? nap. It seems I got up after a half hour nap and then I must have been sleeping in the chair.

16:00 to 16:30 nap. I was out to the store just before, otherwise I would have taken this nap sooner.

21:40 to 22:10 nap.

Total: 2.5 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 4

3:18 - getting ready to nap starting from 3:30. Don't feel overly-tired or anything. Slightly feel drowsiness ready to pour over me. Actually, I barely feel sleepy. But I suspect my body knows that the time to sleep is coming. Have to take an antacid for my stomach.

3:30 to 4:00 nap. Waking up is difficult. Falling asleep was not too bad. Although, when I lie down, my skin gets itchy in some places. It's a little annoying. When my timer alarm started ringing, I didn't realize right away that it was time to get up. I feel like I was very much deep asleep. Now if I could just get my body awake. I think I need to wash my face.

9:30 to 10:00 nap. Easy to sleep. Difficult to wake.

14:05 to 14:35 nap.
15:58 - Since my last nap until 15:40, I was sitting in my chair in front of the computer fighting the sleepy demons. I could not get awake, so I was sleeping while sitting in my chair and occasionally waking up a little and trying to snap out of it. It seems I am at the same place I was on Day 2. Actually, I was fine before I went to sleep. But I did decide to take my nap early because I almost fell asleep while using the computer. I thought that was a good sign that I could get to sleep for a nap. Well, I will go outside for a walk in the sunlight now.

18:00 - Well the walk was good, except my ankle is a little weak. I need to get more exercise, I know. Sitting back down and using the computer, I'm getting sleepy again. I guess the best thing to do is to stay awake until it's time to nap again. That is because it is so difficult to wake up from the naps now.

21:50 to 22:20 nap. I awoke before my timer alarm rang and then realized that it was almost time for it to ring so I must have gotten my sleep. The sleep seemed to have gone by quickly, but at least I did not have to wake up while deep asleep this time.

I realized this could be like the movie Groundhog's Day. Every time I wake up, it's not a new day. It's the same day. Another thing I have observed is that I'm using the computer too much now. I usually spend all my time on the computer but now I have so much more time. I have to try to limit my keyboarding and mousing.

Total approximate amount of sleep for today: 3 hrs.
