Polyphasic Sleep Day 9

Posted by Chris on September 3, 2009

I finally did it. I over slept. I can't believe that I over slept that bad. I went to bed exactly at 11pm and I woke up at 2am. From what little I can remember, I felt okay but after I turned off the alarm I didn't get up right away and must have fallen back asleep. I woke up at 4am without any alarm clock. I'm not happy about this at all.
It is only 1 extra cycle of core nap so i hope it doesn't set me back too much. I'm considering taking only 2 naps but I don't think it would be a good idea to mess up the schedule to fit 2 naps in instead of 3. Of course, right now I feel pretty good. Not awesome, but better than the past few days getting up after the core.

Day 9 recap: The Noon nap was really good and I felt awake for 2 or 3 hours then I got tired again. Also I had an extremely long dream in a 20 minute period. Amazing what cool things surface when you try out new ways.
The 5pm nap was average and I felt pretty normal for the rest of the day. I hope things get better soon and my oversleep doesn't damage my progress to much.
