Polyphasic Sleep

It’s really tough making it through the adaptation period. The weekend, I ended up sleeping through the night both Friday and Saturday. I will probably go a full night again tonight before resuming the schedule (and hopefully adapting :)

I just started the dymaxion sleep schedule (30min every 6 hours) yesterday. The first hour of work was awful this morning. I think I over-compensated with coffee (which I was originally saving for the afternoon), so I’m not sure how much sleep I’ll get from my next nap at lunch.

I started a blog to track my progress, but I won’t post it until I’ve adapted in a few weeks or so (hopefully!). I’ll come back by for an update next week, though.

Finally starting to warm up! I’ve been putting off polyphasic sleeping partly because it’s a busy time of year and I don’t want to end up in a proverbial train wreck, but also partly because my apartment is too damn cold! No central heating or insulation (the standard in Japan) makes it frightfully difficult to stay warm. And of course it’s most cold at night—when I’m usually sleeping.

Let’s do this thing!! (well, maybe in a week or two.)
