Total Sleep Time: 3hr 39m
3am – 16min
I went to sleep fairly quickly, however woke up with 5 minutes to go, but did manage to fall back to sleep. I am a little tired but not too bad. I am entering the hardest time of the day for me right now.
7am – 2hr 23min
Yep, the bane of my sleep schedule. I thought I would just set the timer for 40 minutes, even the back up computer. They did their jobs of going off, but I just turned them off and went right back to sleep. I keep thinking how I am just not able to stay true to the Uberman schedule and now I am into Day 20 and still haven’t gotten it nailed down. However, I then tell myself, I am still getting less sleep than the Everyman schedule for the most part and I have just about conquered all the other sleep times, I just have the 7am to go.
11am – 00min
Skipped right over this time session, it was in my rear view mirror before I even noticed it.
3pm – 32min
The computer alarm saved me again. Now I am very tired. I probably wouldn’t have even stayed awake if I would have received a few texts right when I woke up. So, thank you for that Elizabeth
7pm – 12min
I started an hour late, but went to sleep fairly quickly and my dreams where rather odd. First I was flying around, that is always nice, but then the dream turned inward to my mind and started scanning my brain, only my mind was fully of webpages, lol… It was scanning page after page; kind of like something out of The Matrix. Even stranger was I woke up during this and could watch all these pages of information being scanned, I then I thought wait that looks cool and the scan stopped and zoomed in. whoa, cool, then I lost control and it started scanning again.. very odd.
11pm – 16min
I started about 30 minutes late. Took me a little bit to fall asleep. I woke with about 20 seconds left on the timer. I am pretty much wide awake right now, so that is good.
Thus ends day 20 of the Polyphasic Sleep Project
Sleep well,

Unfortunately the sound card on my laptop doesn’t work right now so I can’t hear any of your posts. But they’re still fun to read.
I was thinking that it might work to buffer the 7 AM with a 20 minute at 5:30 AM and then another one at 8:00 AM? That way you are still training your body to take sleep in 20 minute increments and not allowing it to get used to longer sleep patterns, but at the same time you are only adding 20 more minutes to your day, instead of an additional hour or two. Then, as time progresses you can move those times closer together until you are able to get it back to just one time at 7 AM.
This was actually something I was thinking about for myself since I tend to get super sleepy after my 6:30 AM nap and usually can’t last until noon for the next one. Spacing my own out so that I take one at 5:00 and then one at 8:00 would help, so it might work for you as well? Just a thought.
lol… In today’s Polyphasic entries. Day 21, I was just talking about adding another time slot between the 3am – 7am and then you suggested the exact same thing. Although it is in the recordings and not in the writing part. I will be posting it late tonight, but I do agree with you. Although I did make it through today, but just barely, so I may try it tomorrow.
You two boys think alike!
