I’m posting this around 00:30 on Frinight (Saturday 00:30 for the normal people) going into day 3 of the dymaxion sleep pattern and I’m feeling great. I’ve slept for a total of 4 hours in the last two days, all my naps have been taken strictly on my schedule of 4am/10am/4pm/10pm and each has been for 30 minutes.
It’s very difficult to express just how good I feel right now, at least by contrast to how I felt when I last posted - I think I might even be able to be somewhat productive overnight tonight. Thursnight was spent in a semi-zombified state unable to do much other than browse the web and do a little studying, but I had a very short span of attention and felt unable to really focus on anything for long enough to make any progress.
Although I’m not perfectly mentally clear right now I am wide awake and lucid, and I’m pleasantly surprised that I seem to be adapting so fast this time around - it’s early days to be drawing conclusions but the initial indications are promising that I will be able to adapt to the dymaxion sleep. I’d put myself at around an 8/10 physically and a 7/10 mentally right now.
If you look at the total time I have been polyphasic since my last monophasic sleep on Monday 16th it’s now 4.25 days during which time I have had one oversleep of 5.5 hours and 7.5 hours of total naps - 13 hours of sleep in over 4 days. It averages out to 3 hours sleep a day even including the oversleep where I neglected to set my second alarm.
On the google polyphasic sleep group I have been corresponding with Placebo, Kirk Kahn and Opus who are all starting polyphasic sleep around the same time as me. Zelshark7, topping345 and ZeThomas are video blogging their adaptations to the uberman schedule on Youtube. Drop by their pages and give them some encouragement. I have ordered a webcam and will be posting videos of my adaptation on youtube within the next few days.

Wow, this is really inspiring to hear that it’s working for you. I may have to give it a try myself.
