The End Of The Tour<\/strong><\/center>Okay, after thinking it over a lot last night, and this morning (after 8 hours of sleep), I\u2019ve decided to put off the polyphasic sleeping experiment, for now. There are a number of reasons for this, but it really all comes down to my life being a bit too crazy right now.The point of this experiment was that I wanted more free time to do things like code until the wee hours of morning, without having to make sacrifices at my job, or elsewhere in my life. In actuality, the energy required to keep this schedule going is turning out to be greater than what it\u2019s generating. I know that my body just needs to find a schedule that\u2019s right, and adjust to it, but I don\u2019t have the time to wait for that to happen. My life is pretty chaotic right now, and I need a few weeks of order and stability to get it sorted out. Once that\u2019s all done with, I should be able to attempt this again.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I still want to put something here to offer to those of you that are trying or want to try a new sleep schedule. This site has been getting a surprising number of visitors since I started keeping this journal. Before, I mentioned putting up message boards and such for people to share their experiences. I may see if I can throw something quick and dirty together. I\u2019ll probably also organize things a bit more, and maybe throw together a sort of how-to document.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m curious if anyone who\u2019s been reading this has been trying it? I\u2019d like to hear from you, if you are.<\/p>\n
Good night (for now), \n-ben<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Day 2 (schedule 2)<\/strong><\/center>Today is National Night-Shift & Third-Shift Workers Day. I can certainly respect that these days. Most people forced to work a night shift for economical reasons would probably laugh at me if they knew I was intentionally submitting myself to this. Either way, I celebrated by sleeping 5 hours last night. Ugh. I actually woke up 4 or 5 times throughout the course of it (not counting about 30 minutes of hitting the snooze button), but was so tired I was basically paralyzed. I simply could not get up. It wasn\u2019t happening.It\u2019s kind of odd, because I didn\u2019t drink or do anything that usually causes that, yesterday. I blame it on the removal of the 22:00 nap. I think I\u2019ll try going back to taking it tonight.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Day 1 (schedule 2)<\/strong><\/center>So far, so good, on schedule 2. I took my naps as scheduled, all day, then went to bed at 02:30. I actually turned out the lights and got into bed, so that I would get some quality rest. I hooked up 2 alarm clocks, and a full spectrum daylight lamp on a timer, all to go off at 4:30. It turns out that the timer on the lamp was wrong, though, so it didn\u2019t turn on until about 10 minutes after I was awake. I think it should help, though. Sunlight is a big trigger to me for waking up (I always over sleep on rainy days).I went for a nice bike ride, which felt really good. Now I\u2019m going to go have a shower and a nap.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\n
Day 0 (schedule 2)<\/strong><\/center>Well, I let myself sleep about 6 hours Friday & Saturday nights, and 8 or so hours last night, so I feel up to a pretty good, fresh start on the new schedule. I took my 14:00 nap on schedule. I\u2019ll do likewise with my 18:00, then it\u2019s theoretically through the long stretch until 02:00, when I get my 120 minutes.We\u2019ll see how it goes. I may have to stick the 22:00 back in there, but I really feel that the 10:00 is so disruptive to my work schedule, that I\u2019m going to work to keep it out. If I have to, I\u2019ll move the 120 minute stretch to 06:00. It might make for a rushed morning, but it\u2019ll certainly remove the need for that 10:00. It might be an even better idea to simply push the 06:00 to 07:00 or 08:00. In the latter case, I\u2019d probably get ready for work and take care of my morning stuff before the nap, and then head right out the door as soon as I wake up from it. That might work well, actually. I think I\u2019ll try it tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s interesting to note that, even though I was getting a somewhat normal amount of sleep all weekend, my body was still craving naps. This is interesting, because I\u2019m not usually a napping type of person, but they really do wonders for your mood, even if you\u2019re not that tired.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
Day 12<\/strong><\/center>I got a pretty refreshing night\u2019s sleep last night. 6 hours. That feels like an eternity these days. I went out dancing last night, and had 2 drinks. I actually felt fine when I got home, and was planning on sleeping from only 4-6, but I crashed at 3, thinking I had set an alarm, when I actually hadn\u2019t. No biggie, although it may make it a bit harder to adjust over the weekend. I woke up after about 5 hours, actually, with a truly horrible feeling in my head, that\u2019s worth mentioning. Have you ever been really hung over, and stared at the sun? Alicia describes it as having lemon juice in her brain. I had that feeling more intensely than I can ever remember having it when the alarm woke me up at 08:00. I think I may have been waking up from a deep sleep cycle at the time. I just went back to sleep, and it was pretty much gone when I woke up at 09:00.I think tonight is a good night to seriously start trying the new cycle. I\u2019m going to Alicia\u2019s sister<\/a>\u2019s 15th birthday party tonight, so it\u2019s not like I\u2019ll be drinking heavily or anything. I\u2019ll also be sure to get my naps in. That was another big failing yesterday. I hadn\u2019t had a nap since 18:00, when I fell asleep at 03:00.<\/p>\n
