Haven't posted in a little, but heres the update. Im pretty much solid with my new sleep schedule. It is working really nicely for finals week and I can get a lot more studying in. Although I oversleep, I realize I oversleep because I enjoy sleep. Although I am not fatigued, I sleep just because the feeling of going back to sleep right after ( Read more... )

its supposed to take about a week to get used to. Well, one week has passed and im doing so-so. I am definately falling asleep now, although im not sure about how many of those occurences had instances of REM sleep. I remembered a dream only once, so idk. I overslept i think 5 out of the 7 days although in the later parts of the week, i woke up ( Read more... )

You ever open a can of grape soda, take a sip, and think its amazing? Then as you drink more of it, it tastes more terrible until you finish the soda just because you opened it and didn't want to waste the rest? I think there should be cans of graps soda with only 1 sip's worth of soda in it, cuz those are the only ones that I care about. Well, ( Read more... )

Its supposed to take a week to adjust to the sleep schedule that i made for myself. But idk... cuz i feel pretty good right now. maybe ill be able to pull this one off. If i make it through the weekend, i think im solid.

Interesting note: on the times where I actually fall asleep, my dreams are much more lucid than they used to be. I never remember my dreams. Now, I remember them all ( Read more... )

Today begins my first cycle of polyphasic sleep. I plan to begin sleep at:

1:25
5:25
9:25
2:15
6:00
9:45

As you can see, the schedule is slightly off from 4 hours in between. This is because I kinda have to work it into my class schedule. But as long as I sleep right before and after class, I should be fine. Lets see how this works.

Oh, and by the by, Im coming home on Tuesday morning. I haven't seen you guys in forever... so... yea... lets chill.

Ok, so after researching the different forms of polymorphic sleep, I have decided on the Uberman's sleep schedule (20 minutes every 4 hours). I plan take these naps at 2AM, 6AM, 10AM, 2PM, 6PM, and 10PM. It works perfectly for my class times in which I can nap right before and right after class. I was thinking about taking Ratner's advice of ( Read more... )

so, there is a kind of sleep where you sleep for 20-30 min every approx 4 hours. This kind of sleep trains you to get into REM sleep immediately rather than a few hours. Very interesting. I plan to attempt this after thanksgiving break. I will update on how it goes.
