Currently in day 2 of adapting to polyphasic sleep.

I first heard about “polyphasic sleep” via a post at bathgates.net …it sounded fascinating so I added it to the list.

The idea is that you can replace the usual one big period of sleep with multiple shorter naps. During naps you’re getting straight to the essential REM sleep phase and not wasting time on the non-essential stuff.

I haven’t opted for uberman, instead i’m targeting one peg down – 2.8 hours of sleep per 24hrs. Apparently after I’ve adapted to this new (and kinda whacky) sleep routine I won’t feel sleep deprived, achy, have a throbbing head or any of the other side effects i’m feeling right now.

The throbbing head may have something to do with the need to drop caffeine cold turkey since there is only 4 hours between naps in the morning! argh!

I’ll keep you posted on my progress…please forgive any hints of psychosis or delerium over the next little while!!
