Polyphasic Sleep Day 8

Posted by Chris on September 2, 2009

Looks like day 8 is one of the better days. I'm not nearly as tired as I am usually in the mornings. I would describe it like getting up 1 hour earlier when you're used to 8 hours monophasic Sleep. Things seem very similar now every day. No huge set backs or improvements usually.
As I mentioned yesterday my new goal is to start testing my normal routines in this new sleep environment. I feel its stable enough to do that now. My body does feel more sluggish and heavy since I started the experiment. I haven't really felt energetic and ready to have a great workout yet.
But I'm trying to edge my way closer to that now. Timing is the question. Do I work out before the 5:30 pm nap? Or after? Or a completely different time? Yesterday, I did some rope jump just before my 5:30 nap. Didn't seem to have any negative effects on the nap.

11am: This is the second time that I've been tired at work. I'm very tired right now and I still have one hour left until the lunch nap. So far my results over these past 8 days have been all over the place. Its hard to find correlations when the results are so random.

Day8 recap: I did okay in the afternoon. But over all, it was one of the most widespread tired days I've had. I was rarely tired at work before today.
