I personally believe it is more external, however perhaps Polyphasic is amplifying it. At some point today I was driving around feeling really good with lots of energy and my mood was happy and upbeat. However, once I started thinking about things I slowly fell to a state of not-so-happiness. As my nap time approached I began to lose motivation to do really anything.

I just now woke from going into a 10 minute nap in this state and although I woke 10 minutes later refreshed and fine, I didn’t want to get up. So, I fell back to sleep without even setting my alarm.

Anyway, currently my thinking is Polyphasic amplifies emotions.

What’s interesting is that, if my calculations are right, you are now exactly in the weeks when I experienced my sudden polyphasic crash. Either there’s really something about those weeks, or it must be a reaction following your sleep schedule change. (or, both?)

Do you feel like the lack of motivation/energy is a result not sleeping enough, or is it due to other external factors?
