This morning ended the last day of the biphasic experiment. The last few days were not only easy, they didn’t feel like an experiment at all. It has become a lifestyle habit, one that I will find hard to give up (should I choose to). I have been more productive these last 30 days, and I have even watched a little tv or played video games throughout the 30 days (something I rarely ever do, since I have no time).
My diet has been stable throughout the entire experiment, although the times which I became hungry were a little different. I’m not hungry for breakfast till about 10:30...

So the days are now routine, I have no problems going to sleep when I need to or waking up. My midday ‘lul’ is something I’m still adjusting to, but I’ve found that if I’m eating during that time I tend to have a better time staying awake. The hardest part of the experiment so far has been getting out of bed on the weekends at scheduled time. It’s not that I’m too tired, but there is nothing forcing me out of bed, and my bed is just so warm and comfy.
I have only 3 days left of the Biphasic sleep experiment. The Universal Man sleep...

The days are starting to become stantard. Other than the fact that I’m awake for 4 hours or so wheen most people are sleeping, I feel relatively normal with biphasic sleep.
I’ve experienced something quite new in my biphasic experiment. Yesterday evening I worked out and then hung out with friends, completely forgeting about my nap. It wasn’t until about 1 am that I remembered, but I figured it was too late to take a nap, considered I would only wake up for 1.5 hours before going to sleep again. I decided I would just go to bed 1.5 hours early, and still get the 4.5...

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...

This morning ended day 14 of the experiment. Over the weekend I made a few interesting observations about biphasic sleep. These will give you a little insight as to a couple of quirks that come along with a biphasic sleep pattern.
First of all, I went out of town to visit my fiance. As it turns out, significant others aren’t too pleased with the biphasic pattern. She was supportive, but I could tell she missed me at night, so saturday night I stayed with her (and slept for 6 hours). What I found was that it is still easy to revert back to the biphasic pattern the next day. Sunday...

This morning closes day 11 of my biphasic sleep experiment. These last few days have started to feel normal. I’m really enjoying the experiment. I’m getting things done, I have time to do fun things like work out, play sports, play video games, read extracurricularly, and write about it all. Sleep? Who needs it.
I slept a total of 6 hours on day 10, I went to sleep a little early after exhausting myself playing basketball for a few hours. Yesterday, though, was 4.5 hours. I absolutely love it. I don’t think I”m going to have any trouble finishing the 30 days of...
