I fell asleep quickly as I was tired from watching Eli Stone: Season 1 I was pleasantly surprised by it. So far it is decent and watchable at least for me. Anyway, I woke but fell back to sleep and my computer alarm woke me. I am coming off an under 2 hour day, so we shall see if I make it as I still have not had two days of under 2 hours yet.

I am not sure what happened here. As best I can tell that is the correct amount of sleep, but it was marred with many periods of wakefulness, maybe. All I know, is in the end Elizabeth called and I woke, but I was in my desk chair. So, sometime while working I fell asleep and woke to the phone call. Luckily, I was awakened because who knows how long I would have slept. I hope this does not become a habit as I would hate to start falling asleep in my chair as I spend so much time in it.
11am – about 18 min
Meals
- Artesian Water
I went right to sleep and woke up in my standard fashion. I feel refreshed and awake and am ready to hopefully get some work done.
3pm – about 18 min
Meals
- Artesian Water
- 2 cups of coffee
- Special Herb Chicken – (Elizabeth brought some over, the onions and mushrooms were so good.)
I was feeling stuffed and tired from eating the chicken that I didn’t think I would make it to 3pm. However, I did and fell right to sleep. Upon awaking I felt nauseous. I hope it fades soon.
7pm – about 18 min
Meals
- Artesian Water
- 1 Pretzel Rod
I went right to sleep and woke in my standard fashion. I feel a little sluggish, but I am sure it will fade with time.

Meals
- Artesian Water
- Some chicken, spinach, onion between tortillas
I wasn’t really tired but thought I should try anyway. I went right to sleep. I was awoken with about 8 minutes to go by Callie running through the room and jumping from chair to chair in the office. Anyway, I just opened my eyes and then closed them again and went back to sleep. I am actually wide awake and feel really good.

Sleep well,

Hmm, that’s pretty impressive: did you really have only 2 cups of coffee for the entire day? That’s how many I drink by 10 am
(after getting up at 4:30am). I’m curious because I’m a fast metabolizer of caffeine, so coffee has very little effect on me, and I end up having 4 cups a day if I hold my love for coffee back… if not, I’ll have 6… and in some cases more. My drinking so much coffee is really a matter of taste (since it doesn’t really help me anyway), but, I imagine that if I were on the Ubberman schedule, I wouldn’t be able to make it on just 2.
lol.. That might be why I was so tired for most of the day.. lol.. Anyway, coffee is very interesting and it is probably true for all people on Polyphasic it just doesn’t seem to really have enough power to overpower the desire or need of sleep. I am sure this has happen to you, drink a cup of coffee and then go straight to sleep. That is pretty much how it is for me. I really enjoy it though, but I use a rather expensive organic whole bean coffee. I also use a French Press, so I can only make 3 good cups of coffee at a time. Well, maybe 4, which is 6 and 8 cups on a regular drip coffee machine. Interestingly though, I use the coffee machine to heat up the Spring water, which I then pour into the French Press. The French Press makes an incredible cup of coffee, but I am usually just too lazy to make more. lol.
I use a French Press too (in fact, it makes only 3 cups really)
Unless I feel like having my cappuccino and then I use the machine. But your technique of heating the water is indeed quite interesting!
(I wasn’t on polyphasic then, but had a significant workload and hadn’t slept properly in many days.)
And yes, I’ve had coffee and then gone straight to sleep. In fact, once I managed to have two large cups together with two redbulls and fall asleep. After waking up, I actually thought that it was quite funny it happened, because I really didn’t believe it’d be possible. But I was apparently wrong
