Polyphasic Sleep Week 8 and 9

Posted by Chris on October 29, 2009

I have been quite busy lately so i had to skip 1 week of updates.

I actually do have some news this time around. The everyman2 was working out quite well with usually only 1 over sleep per week. But, I have decided to get serious with my workout and put on some muscle rather then just exercise to loose weight. As a result on the nights following Weight training i over sleep and get a full 8 hours. I wont say its impossible, but its improbable to keep up with any kind of polyphasic sleep schedule and get the kind of recovery needed for serious heavy weight training. So for now i basically over sleep 3x per week on the nights following the workouts and manage to follow the regular everyman2 on the rest of the days. Its a bit odd but it seems to work ok for now. Once I'm done gaining weight i may be able to switch back to a full everyman2 or even 3 again.

If you have any questions or input of your own leave me comments.

Polyphasic Sleep Day 23

Posted by Chris on September 17, 2009

Ups i did it again! I don't know if it was the food but i overslept all the way until 7 am(5hours oversleep). I remember the alarm going off and hitting snooze but i don't remember turning it off. So as added security i will set my phone alarm for the first wake up again. I used to do it before but i didn't have that much of a problem with oversleeping.

Looks like things might get interesting again after all. As before i feel pretty good but its like i slept to much.

Day 23 recap: I did try to take all my naps but had a hard time falling asleep. Same goes for the core.
