Jermil's Sleep Blog

My first nap today was at 2pm since I didn’t wake up until after 10am.  It sucked.  I laid in bed for 25 minutes and didn’t get any sleep.  I thought a lot about what I need to do for the rest of the day and my mind continuously raced for the entire time.

I didn’t really expect to fall asleep since I just had a decent amount of sleep last night.  I expect this all to change soon.

My 6pm nap went about the same.  I’m not sure if I slept or not but I did get up feeling refreshed after 25 minutes of silent reflection.

I’m pretty sure I fell asleep during my 10pm nap but again I’m can’t say for sure.  Afterwards, I watched Descent and started watching The Crying Game until it was time for my 2am nap.

By the time my 2am nap rolled around, I was definitely ready to catch a few winks.  When I woke up 25 minutes later, I was amazed that I was definitely asleep.  I felt confusion for a few seconds but figured out what was going on soon enough.  I felt refreshed for a while but started yawning after about an hour.  I was able to sit through the rest of The Crying Game so I couldn’t have been that tired.

I did notice a slight headache today but I doubt that had anything to do with this.  I woke up this morning feeling pretty sluggish so I’m guessing the lack of sleep is what caused this.

I’m really looking forward to day 2.  I have a phone interview at 7pm and one of my great friend’s birthday is today so I figure I might have to go somewhere in a sleep-deprived state.

With all this time on my hands, I figured I’d try something I’ve been interested in since I first heard of it.

POLYPHASIC SLEEP!!!

I’ve read of a few people doing it successfully and I figure I should be able to add my name to the list.

I’m going to get my last full night of sleep tonight.  Tomorrow, I’ll be in full uberman sleep mode exactly like when Steve Pavlina did it.  I will post a daily log here of how it goes.  I’ll post about the rest of my life on my other blog which chronicles everything else.
