Polyphasic Sleep: Day 4
It’s hard to believe that I’ve only just finished the fourth day on this sleep schedule. Time is moving at an ever-slowing pace, and I’ve yet to experience any severe setbacks (*knock on wood*).
Both this morning and tonight, I’ve had the “opportunity” to switch up my nap schedule and see how much my brain gets thrown off; so far, it doesn’t seem to have been fooled. Early this morning, I was brilliant enough during my 2:30 nap to stretch out and knock the cup of water from the table onto my face. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep during that nap, so for the first time, I essentially pushed a nap back an hour, without any ill effects. Tonight, I was unable to make my 6:30 nap due to a social gathering, so I didn’t sleep at all until just after 10:30. Surprisingly, I was awake enough to drive home in the rain (but I don’t think I’ll try that again the next time I skip a nap).
At this point, I think I’m in the recovery period - the period of time where the worst is over, but I still have to recover from the sleep debt I’ve accumulated before I can really function well. Because of this combined with the missed 6:30 nap, I think I’m going to take one nap every two hours for at least the next twelve hours or so (or until I stop sleeping during naps, whichever comes first). This will, of course, be reflected on the summary page.
