Jermil's Sleep Blog

I started Tuesday. It is now Saturday at 12:34am PST.

I’m doing my online job and listening to music but all I can think about is how good it would feel to turn off all of my alarms and sleep until I’m fixed again.

I want to get a full night’s sleep and feel awake and completely refreshed tomorrow morning.

I want to flail around in this somewhat comfortable bed that the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino has provided for me.

I want to wrap myself in the covers until I’m all warm and cozy.

But I won’t.

I can’t.

Because I want to keep doing this. Feeling like this is a part of it. I have to make it through this hard part in order to get to the awesome part that I’ll find right around this corner.

Or it’s not. But I’m pretty sure it is.

I’ll let you know when I get there.

I believe one of my main problems with becoming polyphasic last time was that I didn’t have any real motivation to do it. I was bored at home, felt like doing something different, and decided that was it. And I failed.

This time, I took time to think about why I wanted to become polyphasic and what it would help me accomplish at this stage in my life.

The major reason is so I’ll be able to be awake and alert in Las Vegas and can take beautiful pictures of the city at any hour no matter what. I’m very excited to see what I can do with that superpower.

Another reason is so that I can do my online job for 8 or more hours everyday and still have plenty of time to do whatever else I want and need to do. I will be awake for 22 hours everyday. Subtract 10 and I’ll still have 12 hours of complete free time to do whatever it is I choose.

The last reason to succeed with polyphasic sleep that I’ve come up with so far is because I think it is one of the most amazing things the human body can do that most people don’t even believe can be done. To me, it’s like being able to see through walls. Most people won’t believe you when you tell them you can do it. Even if you prove it to them, they think it’s some kind of trick.

I expect these reasons to be enough to enable me to achieve my primary goal of being a polyphasic sleeper which will allow me plenty of time and energy to live my dreams, instead of just sleeping through them.

I just finished my third nap. Coincidentally, I was keeping track of what time I was going to sleep for a side project and thought those might come in handy as a reference to how horrible my sleep schedule was before this. I’ll post the times next.
