Polyphasic Sleep Day 18

Posted by Chris on September 12, 2009

I overslept again, but this time by 4 hours. So I slept almost a full 7 hours. I blame the Chili! I woke up at 2 and i was pretty tired and had this great idea to keep sleeping in my mind for some reason. So i hit snooze and fell back asleep. Only to be woken up again of course, but this time i decided i was going to get up. So i turned off my alarm clock and ..... fell back asleep until 5:50.

I conclude. Diet is extremely important to adaption and probably polyphasic sleep overall. Overeating screws up your sleep, and since your not getting a whole lot of it, it really messes up your whole day.

Now back to getting up after 7 hours. I feel pretty good of course, but here is the kicker, I don't feel any better than if had gotten up at 2 and had my 7 am nap. Of course i would have felt pretty tired at 2am compared to now. But I don't think that's a fair comparison.

Day 18 recap: I actually felt kind of sluggish in the morning till noon(where i took a nap) I felt like i had slept way to much. The rest of the day went as usual. I did get tired at nap times and took them like always.

Polyphasic Sleep Day 17

I give today a 50/50. I'm not in good shape like yesterday where i could get pc work done and focus. I will have to stick with the more physical activities today.

150 Jumping jacks,30 push-ups later i feel pretty awake. And it seems to last this time around.

Day 18 recap:The rest of the day went pretty normal like always. Although I made some bad choices on my diet and felt very sluggish in the evening(who would have thought a whole can of chili would do that ?)
