This is day 7, the last day I planned to keep this up. So far I have done pretty well. Overall I have only had a few slipups on oversleeping but I believe that it hasn't really affected me too much because my days are full and require a lot of energy because of my active lifestyle, so by learning this, I have a better understanding of my sleep cycle. Also I have learned that I need to eat probably 3 times as much as I did before. I do plan to keep doing this, because I love the extra time. I asked my friend Alton if he ever got a full 8hours sleep, and he said that if he had a big event the next day, so I guess for me that may be a final, a tournament, or a concert/rave.
Today is thursday so that means I am following the Biphasic sleep cycle. I already took my 3 hour nap, plus a little extra 20 miin for a small boost, since yesterday was pretty strenuous with Alton down where we probably shouldn't have been. Also plan to eat soon, but still have some math homework to finish.
So I made it through the day. I took two naps, one after math class before acting, and the other after Judo before programming. I feel fine now, but one thing I keep noticing, it's really important to eat...a lot! I didn't have time for a big breakfast, and my lunch was too small, and before judo. I had an apple before each nap, which helps a little, and I had another after my second nap. I think I should be good for the rest of the night, and I'll switch gears back into polyphasic starting with my first nap at 10:00.
So I woke up from my nap by a phonecall about two hours after. At this point if I oversleep Im not too concerned because I've concluded that I am really physically active, so the extra sleep is good. I still can't decide if I want to continue to sleep this way or go back to the 8hour sleep like a normal person. I think i'll try to keep doing it, but for big events or something I may just get a full nights rest.
