I've decided to try polyphasic sleeping, bcause I've wanted to do that for EVER and my schedule finally allows for it. Also because I want to hone my writing skills, music talent, and I want to complete a personal project or two this year.
To start off, I'll be using the Everyman sleep schedule. It's a nice transition from monophasic sleep into polyphasic sleep. Standard sleep times: 1-4am, 9-9:20am, 2-2:20pm, and 9-9:20pm. I suspect that I'll end up extending those naps to 30 minutes since I've previously enjoyed naps of around that length.
Today I woke up a little earlier than normal to start getting into the groove of polyphasic sleeping. The plan was to go to sleep around 1am and wake up at 4am. I realized immediately my mistake in not having something immediately planned to do at 4am and fluttered in and out of sleep until about 6am, when my husband's alarm went off.
I got instantly engaged in facebook debates about radiation and cellphones, and took my planned "nap" from 9am-9:20 (there was lots of good meditation time and deep breathing, but no sleep). I skipped the middle nap so that I'd be tired enough for the last nap. Last nap extended to 9:30 because I was just drifting off at 9:20. Hard to tell if I slept during that last one, but here goes the adventure!
