Polyphasic Sleep Day 1 (Everyman Schedule)

Well Day 1 went fairly well. I was able to get up at 4 am without any problems. This surprises me, since I have a very hard time getting up normally - especially if I had under 6 hours of sleep. I have the BioBrite sunrise alarm clock, and I hang my cell phone on the bathroom door with the alarm set. I felt (relatively) alert and got moving.

I had intended to use the early morning time to write, but I’m going to have to stay away from the computer in the morning until I get used to this schedule - it was very difficult to stay awake - especially starting around 6 am. My husband was nice enough to help me stay awake from 8 to 9 am, when I took a nap. I had some trouble falling asleep, but I did doze off. I felt refreshed upon waking up. I really think a shorter nap is the way to go.

I started feeling tired for the afternoon nap, and I believe I slept for a little while. Again I woke up refreshed. My evening was pretty chaotic, between 3:45 and 8:50 we have 3 people in 3 different Taekwondo classes, plus we need to eat dinner. After I got home I was so wound up I couldn’t relax and fall asleep. I stayed laying down the whole time.

I have actually been very productive tonight - working on a client’s website. I am getting tired but at least I am getting some work done. I don’t think it will take long to fall asleep tonight.
