Some of you may remember (or perhaps you’d like to forget) when I briefly wrote about polyphasic sleep. What I’ve not mentioned since then is that I’ve developed a strange “ability” to periodically switch between polyphasic and monophasic sleep patterns. As you can imagine, this comes in fairly handy during finals week or other high-stress periods of time. The problem? I can’t control when I switch back.

I’ve grown tired of my unreliable sleep patterns (or lack thereof), so I’ve decided to go “back to basics” and retain a standard, early-rising, 100% monophasic schedule for an indefinite period of time. In plain English: I will wake up at 5:30 every morning, stay up, and take no naps during the daytime. I call this Back to Basics because, quite frankly, I’m embarrassed that this step is even necessary. It’s not even worth designating this as a project, but I’ll be writing about it purely for accountability reasons. These posts will be categorized as Blurbs, which means they won’t show up on the news feed, so you won’t see them unless you want to.

Okay, Sun, the race is on!

Edit (1/26/08): I’m documenting this on the new Fitness page instead of in the Blurblog.
