Dymaxion sleep - day n

n is as yet undefined.

I decided to take a couple of blocks of sleep last night, about 2×2 hours, as I need to be out late tonight and won’t be able to nap at 10pm, and possibly not at 4am. I also need to be out tomorrow, with the same sort of possible disruption to the napping schedule.

I’m also unsure whether to revert to Dymaxion on Sunday, since I have a prior engagement on Tuesday which means I can’t take my 10pm nap then. Then a week after that, which is quite a short time to hope to adapt totally in, I start a 10 day meditation course where I won’t be able to use an alarm so as not to disturb the other participants. I realistically cannot expect to be adapted enough in the 10 days from Sunday to the start of the course to be able to spontaneously awake on time from every nap during my time there, so I doubt I’m going to go back to full dymaxion before the course is over.

In short, you may see me putting reports on here on Sunday, but most likely I’ll keep posting other material for now and restart the schedule on May 20th. I may post some less regular reports on my sleep schedule, as I will probably keep up some other polyphasic schedule with a short core sleep to see how that goes, but that’s not what this experiment was about, and I still fully intend to find out if I can adapt to the dymaxion schedule.
