This morning ended day 16 of the biphasic sleep experiment. Things are becoming pretty routine now. I haven’t had many problems the last few days, other than changing the time of my 1.5 hour nap.
It turns out that waking up at 7am for work, then having summer class from 12 pm – 3 pm is pretty exhausting business. The last 2 days I came home around 4 pm and slept till 5:30 pm. Upon waking I stayed up till 4 am before sleeping again. This schedule seems to fit better, at least while in summer school. We’ll see how I adapt after it’s over (assuming I’m still doing biphasic).
I assume that the rest of the experiment will be relatively stable, so I will probably continue to journal in chunks of 2 or 3 days. If anything really interesting happens I will break the routine to update everyone, but otherwise expect this schedule.
With all this extra time, I’m wondering what else I can experiment with. Oh well, here are the status updates.
Emotional State: great
Mental State: Alert
Physical State: sore (3 hours basketball last night)
Feelings about Biphasic: I miss sleep, but feel great
Productivity: high
Diet: normal
Stay tuned, more to come soon.
