Undecided but soon...

I'm going back to a sleep schedule soon. Whether it will be biphasic, equaliphasic or hexaphasic, I don't know yet. I'll update soon.

Monophasic

So I've been monophasic for a little more than week now and I don't think I'm going back. I want to try a different schedule, a biphasic schedule would be easier and has empirical evidence of being healthy.

Absolutely Dissipointed(Week 9?)

So after still not finding any jobs suitable for a polyphaser I lost will power and have been monophasic for 4 days. I can't believe I used to do this everyday for nearly my whole life, I feel like crap actually and sleep around 9-12 hours. I can't seem to wake myself up after a normal sleep and as a result have some pretty enjoyable dreams but I feel more unproductive than ever. I'm not sure if its the end for my sleep schedule, I felt so much healthier when I was able to stay on schedule. I'm not sure yet if this is the end but I am considering it, but even if I did end it I would come back to it due to the very apparent health benefits. I really do think I was healthier but I think other people may not feel such benefits.

Meh....(Weeks 7 and 8)

Well its been two months and I'm not adjusting. I'm not saying the sleep schedule doesn't work but adhering to the schedule has been very difficult. Napping helps and has helped my health tremendously but its the falling asleep part that seems to escape me. I don't know how much longer the experiment will go, I need a job but there's seems to be nothing in my town or anything real online. I want to keep going, I'm still learning bass, guitar, violin and piano and if I give up my schedule I don't know if I'll ever master them all. Despite my difficulties my slightly adjusted schedule does seem to work better. I may have to go on break from my sleep schedule when the semester is over, I don't know how my school schedule will look then, it may come sooner if I can't find a job, Hurray for this economy...

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...
