Polyphasic Sleep - Day 18

yesterday to 5:05 sleep.

It seems I don't really want to go back to polyphasic sleep. I just slept 7 hours in a row and I don't feel any better waking up than when I was only sleeping 30 or less minutes at a time. It will probably take a half hour to an hour to fully wake up.

6:05 - I have now been awake for an hour, but not fully awake. I can feel something around my eyes, maybe puffiness. It's strange. When I don't have enough sleep, I feel like I need more sleep. When I do have enough sleep, I feel the same.

7:10 to 7:30 and 8:10 to 8:30 nap. I was lying down from 6:45 to 8:37.


21:55 to 22:35 nap.

I don't feel like doing this any more. I think I'll just go back to sleeping however long I feel like sleeping. It's nice to be awake for a long period of time without getting sleepy.

Total for today: 6.5 hrs

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 17

0:00 to 0:15 nap.

1:30 to 2:10 nap.

2:15 to 8:20 sleep. I have a few days off so I've decided to work my way back into polynapping gradually. Maybe it won't work. I don't know. I wasn't awake enough earlier, so I just wanted to sleep awhile. Anyway, I'm doing this polyphasic sleep as a skill that I can use to adjust from night shift to day shift work.

10:06 to 13:42 sleep. After doing some studying, I took a nap to consolidate the information in my brain. I thought it would be only a short nap. You know, just let myself naturally wake up. So far, I've slept over 10 hours today. I will try the same study technique again and see if I sleep for so long.

21:53 to next day.

Total sleep today: 12.75 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 16

from yesterday 23:15 to 5:30 sleep.

Worked all day.

21:45 to 22:14 nap on train going home.
I actually slept past my station and woke up two stations down at the end-terminal station. I had to wait a few minutes for the train to head back. That's the first time that's happened to me.

I will be returning to my short naps.

Total for today: 6 hours

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 15

12:30 to 12:50 nap. The dreams make you feel like you had been sleeping for a long time, not just 15 or 20 minutes.

3:00 to 3:42 nap. This time, I set no alarms. I just intended to sleep for however long was necessary.

5:30 to 8:30 sleep.
14:06 to 14:26 nap. Not sure about this one. I don't know if I slept or not.
17:15 to 17:40 nap.
21:25 to 21:45 nap.

22:50 to 23:10 nap.

Since I'll be working tomorrow, I've decided just to get a long period of sleep tonight.

23:15 to (see the next post)

Total for today: 6 hrs.

Polyphasic Sleep - Day 14

1:58 to 2:18 nap. This one felt really long. I haven't really paid much attention to how long the naps feel, but during this one I woke up at 2:13 to check my watch. I felt I either overslept or that I must be right close to the end of the nap time. I was surprised to see it was only 13 minutes past. I decided not to get up right away. But anyway, I got up when the 5-minutes-left beep rang. My timer beeps when there is 10-minutes left and 5-minutes left. I have been setting it for 25 minutes lately.

4:40 to 5:50 sleep.

I'll be working today.

13:33 to 14:03 nap.
18:07 to 18:26 nap.

What a day. We've got this alert that comes up every 10 minutes. Just waiting for that alert is not real exciting. So I'm sitting there waiting for the alert and then entering the commands to check the server. There were several hours where I was just falling asleep between alerts. So I got more sleep than what is noted above. I just don't know how much sleep it would add up to. The problem is, I've got no Pepsi to drink at work.

Total: more than 2.5 hours
