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 [...]
It’s just gone 6am here and I’m feeling pretty tired now. I woke from my 4am nap fine, but I’m really starting to feel sleep deprived now, which is good since it means my adaptation is well underway. I slept for the last nap better than I have before. I’m not getting any REM yet [...]
It’s now 5am, I napped at 10pm and 4am and I’m feeling about a 6 out of 10 right now.
It’s too early in this new schedule to make any real observations yet, but I have noticed how much easier I’m finding it to sleep at nap times - 6 hours is definitely a stretch [...]

It’s [...]
I can’t believe just how easy this is. I keep waiting for the sleep deprivation to really kick in. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been pretty gruelling sometimes for short periods of time, like earlier when I couldn’t get asleep on my 12pm nap, then got up groggy around 1am, but all in all it’s [...]
Well I’m about half way through my first polyphasic waking period and already it’s brought up some memories of last time around which I’d completely forgotten about.
Trying to nap is a bit difficult due to having slept monophasically only a few hours ago, so putting the conditions in place to be able to relax quickly [...]
A year or so ago I was inspired by the experience of Steve Pavlina to try out polyphasic sleep.
I guess a lot of people reading this will already know about polyphasic sleep, but for those of you who’ve not come across it before it’s a sleep schedule where you take 20 minute naps approximately every [...]
