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...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 3
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 3rd, 2009 | View Comments
Yesterday was the 3rd day of my biphasic sleep experiment. All in all it was a great day. I got a lot of reading done, and I still spent time with friends. I have been testing my logical mind a lot these last few days, just to keep on top of things and test for change, and I have to say I feel as though my mind works through problems and comes up with solutions a bit faster. I cannot prove this, but I feel less sluggish getting the old brain to work.
I even came up with an idea for my next Brain Vault experiment. I’ll share the details as soon as I draft them.
I did feel a bit sluggish...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 2
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 2nd, 2009 | View Comments
I just finished the second day of my biphasic sleep experiment. I am still in high spirits. One thing to note though, when my alarm clock went off this morning I really didn’t want to get out of bed (as if I ever do). I actually considered calling in to work, until my mind really woke up and I realized that regardless of my work schedule I wouldn’t allow myself to go back to sleep. This experiment is bigger than me now. Too many people want to see biphasic fail. Well I wont let that happen.
Yesterday evening was great. I felt energetic right up until about 20 minutes until my...
Biphasic Sleep: Day 1
Posted by Ibrahim in Journals on Jun 1st, 2009 | View Comments
This morning ended my first day of Biphasic sleep. Overall things went well. It was only the first day, so I’m sure the devastating effects (since everyone says the first days are rough) are still coming, but as of right now I feel ok.
I took a 1.5 hour nap yesterday evening at about 9:15 pm, and then went to sleep for 3 hours at 4 am. I woke up this morning at 7 am, for a total of 4.5 hours of sleep for the night. When I awoke to my alarm this morning, I felt refreshed, but I felt like I wanted more sleep, just because I am so used to sleeping more. That’s been the hardest part...
