Total Sleep Time: 3hr 32min
3am – 1 hr 13min
It took a little while to finally go to sleep. Then I didn’t really want to get up so I reset the timer 3 more times. It is like hitting a snooze. However, as usual when I sleep longer, I feel very tired. Like I do right now.
7am – 9min
I laid down a little early because I was tired from the too much sleep before. I woke feeling much better and a wake.
9am – 1hr 23min
lol… I received a phone call and laid down on my little pallet. I talked on the phone for about 1min and placed it beside me, but the phone shut off. It has a battery issue. Anyway I closed my eyes for a second and 1hr and 23min passed before I realized anything. I had such vivid dreams of storms, tornadoes, a post apocalyptic world. Very strange especially since I haven’t really had any dreams that I remember in a while.
11am – skip
Didn’t bother since I felt really awake and not tired at all.
3pm – 0min
This should be interesting from a clinically stand point. I have been arguing for most of the day, not getting any “work” done of course. Then we made up and everything was good, so I laid down to get a nap in, but 8 minutes into it and I was still laying there awake and I received a call. Another argument. This one lasted until around 6pm or so. Now everything is supposedly fine, however the interesting part as pertaining to Polyphasic is, how will I do in the upcoming sessions since I skipped two. Right now it is 6:25p and I am getting sleepy. Wish me luck
7pm – 56min
I am not sure if i was just sad or lazy, but I didn’t want to get up, so I restarted the timer 2 more times. Right now, I am awake and alert.
11pm – 0min
I laid down about 30 minutes late, but just laid there thinking about all the possibilities of using Amazon on the site. I stayed laying down for the full 20 minutes, but never fell asleep
Thus ends day 13 of Polyphasic Sleep
Sleep Well,

Try to be really strict with yourself about the times when you go to nap. Even if you don’t feel sleepy — just try. If it doesn’t work — after 20min, just give up and continue whatever you were doing. If it does — make sure to have your alarm clock far away so you have to actually walk to turn it off. I’ve found that having more sleep than needed is definitely a big no-no while on polyphasic.
Good luck for your next day!
lol.. I am too lazy to have to walk to turn it off. Just kidding, but, I agree, I need to just lay there even if I am not falling asleep. As for the the too much sleep, I am learning that too. Sometimes I am just wiped out because I slept over an hour. It is crazy.
