Biphasic Sleeping Day 3: Yes, it’s just napping every day

Day 3 was a bit rough, though I think that’s more about having a lot to do and overloading the ol’ brain than the whole sleeping thing. We’ll see. My nap was so-so and I actually ended up hitting the sack a little after 3:30.

This brings up something important: this isn’t polyphasic sleeping. It’s just napping every day at around the same time so your body is used to it. The Spanish are pretty good at this idea. The idea is to regulate your sleep schedule somewhat to have more even energy and to distribute your productive hours with that energy. That’s really it. Even if I end up sleeping the same number of hours total, if I’m more productive then it’s a net win. If I’m not then it was fun. I’ll analyze things briefly on the weekend of the 23 to see if it’s worth pushing forward with the full one month trial. I’m guessing it will be, early returns are pretty promising and I think if this week is the “fatigue” that I’m supposed to go through then I should be in good shape.

I’m looking forward to the weekend and working on my projects instead of scrambling at work (not that scrambling at work isn’t worthwhile, things are on schedule).

Bottom line: Yeah, it’s just napping every day. Not crazy.
