Polyphasic Sleep - Day 3

The only thing worse than doing something stupid is admitting it to your loyal readers. I thought that the orientation for TAFE was going to last one week. Instead it's lasting one day. What does this mean? It means, in order to attend my classes, I can't do the Uberman.

However, I will continue to do the Everyman that I originally intended. I still intend to adapt to polyphasic sleep no matter what. I'm not going to give up.

Thanks to a bout of oversleeping while on the Uberman, I ended up sleeping 4.5 hours: which is actually only slightly longer than the Everyman core sleep, so it turned out alright in the end. I certainly beat myself up about it, but eventually when it turned out it was for the best, I accepted it as being meant to happen.

In other news, I should really find more convenient times to blog: such as in the afternoon or something. I can't do a good log on polyphasic sleep at 1 am while I'm adapting to it: so I may have to change the times that I blog.

The sleep deprivation on Everyman isn't too bad: it's basically like staying up very late on a monophasic schedule. I just hope I'll be functional at TAFE, but I seem to be so far. Generally I only actually feel tired when I would normally be asleep. Could this mean that I'm only tired because I've trained my body to BE tired at those times? It's certainly possible: and if I stop sleeping monophasically, that habit should go away soon.

In the meantime, I have to work out some more scheduled activities. With the amount of time I'm gaining from polyphasic sleep, I'll end up with about as much spare time as a monophasic person on vacation.

I shall continue regular blogging only after adapting, unfortunately. I don't think my blog posts would be very good at the moment: unless I write in the afternoon (when sleep-deprivation is basically nil). I'll have to start trying that.

See you tomorrow!
