Biphasic Sleep: Days 8 & 9
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 10th, 2009 | View Comments
This morning ended day 9 of the experiment. I can honestly say that while I’m not necessarily tired all the time, I do want to sleep all the time. I really miss the warm, cozy feeling of curling up under a blanket and drifting of to dream land. That being said, my productivity has probably doubled due to biphasic sleep.
Yesterday evening I worked out pretty hard. To make up for the extra rest I would need I went to sleep 1.5 hours earlier, at 2:30 am. This allowed me to sleep 4.5 hours overnight instead of the usual 3. It was much needed, and though I still woke up a bit sore, I’m...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 7
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 7th, 2009 | View Comments
This morning ended day 7 of my biphasic sleep experiment. This means I’ve made it through the first of 4 weeks. Here are a few observations I’ve made so far.
It’s easy to get out of bed Monday – Friday when I work at 8 am; Saturday and Sunday were both more difficult, since there is nothing immediately forcing me out of bed.
I definitely enjoy the extra productivity, but it’s almost becoming difficult to fill all the extra time. That’s why I’ve taken on so many new projects, including my newest, contributing for LifeHack.org.
It is much more difficult...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 6
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 6th, 2009 | View Comments
This morning ended day 6. I slept in 2 hours more than I planned, but this was to be expected since I didn’t commit to the 90 minute nap yesterday evening. I went out with an old friend and just never got the chance. Still I’m feeling great about the experiment so far. I’m getting a lot of stuff done.
I’m currently in the process of my project weekend. I did some important reading this morning, and now I’m working on all of my websites. I plan on getting as much done today as I usually get done in an entire weekend. This day should be quite fruitful.

Biphasic Sleep: Day 5
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 5th, 2009 | View Comments
After the lapse I had yesterday I skipped my evening nap. This made up for lost time. I went to sleep at 4 am again and had no problem waking up at 7 am. Yesterday was fantastic (after the whole sleeping in thing). I didn’t feel tired the entire day, and I did a lot of great things. I went on a boat ride with some great friends, barbequed afterwards, and played some video games.
I didn’t hit the gym yesterday, though I probably should have. My shins were still hurting from the night before, so I decided to let them rest up.
Emotional State: super excited
Mental State: highly...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 4
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 4th, 2009 | View Comments
Yesterday was my first real setback with the biphasic experiment so far. I played basketball for 3 hours last night, till abut 1 am. I should have adjusted for the fitness and went to sleep 90 minutes earlier, as I said I would. But I didn’t. And guess what? I woke up this morning at 11:30 am instead of 7 am. That’s a full 4.5 hours more than I was supposed to sleep.
All in all yesterday went fine, up until this morning of course. I didn’t feel tired, I hung out with friends, got a lot of reading done, and worked on each of my websites a little bit. My thoughts of the...
