New Schedule (Week Six)

Well I finally decided to move more core sleep from 12-1:30 to 5:30-7 which would help me not oversleep because I have an easier time waking up in the morning. Other than the changing weather making my drowsy, last week wasn't bad but not on schedule so it seemed a change was in order. I also decided to learn bass as well, making 4 instruments at once, not surprising guitar and bass are quite easy and I'm already quickly making progress. Oh yea, since the start of last week my dreams have been becoming increasingly vivid and frequent. Sometimes when weather changes I get unusual dreams but with 4 chances a day its so much crazier and make the days almost twice as long.

No more gradual method(Week 5)

I was convinced since the first week when adjusting was taking it's toll that I would do a gradual step down into 3 hours of sleep. This worked sometimes with a wide varying amount of sleep, I've gotten 3 hours, the usual 6 hours and the rare and always disappointing 12 hour hibernations(I've had 2). This week was so so up until a 12 hour sleep that left me in both physical and emotional distress, it was actually the worst I've felt in my whole time of being polyphasic. It was after this that I decided to be much more vigilant about my schedule which I've taken too many liberties with. No more improvising, at least until I'm adjusted.

Seasonal Changes(Week 4)

This week was by far the worst week for my sleep schedule I've endured so far. Fall seems to be coming a little sooner this year and between being off schedule and crappy weather, I had a couple monophasic days. Though today was good and nearly on schedule it was the only day which resembled my schedule. I'm not satisfied on giving up now especially after realizing that my Fibromyalgia may improve as I used to feel the effects of it predominately in the morning(which included general pain, nausea, and sometimes problems with memory). That's good and all but I still need to find a job to support this lifestyle...

Half Adjusted(Day 18 to 21)

Well though during the day I feel more rested than I normally ever do and just feel good this doesn't take away the fact that when it comes to my core I still haven't adjusted, I think I got 8 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. Three weeks, I should be more than half adjusted by now but I still can't oversleeping.

Regressed(Day 17-18)

My vacation wore me down much more than I expected and at this point more than two weeks after starting I still haven't gotten down to the planned 3 hours. I'm still hovering around the 6 hour mark, I have absolutely no intention of giving this up anytime soon especially considering I have already seen results. I may have to make changes in my diet and habits to make 3 hours possible.

Vacation(Day 11 to Day 16)

Though I was able to more than I normally would on a vacation it caused me to miss many naps reducing me to biphasic sleep. I have since come back and am back to sleeping at the scheduled times accurately so far.
