Polyphasic Sleep Experiment: Day 8
For those following along, I’m in the midst of a 30 day experiment with polyphasic sleeping.
I hate polyphasic sleeping.
It’s 9:00pm, I’m exhausted and I’m stuck waiting for midnight before I can go to bed. Then I have to get up at 4:30am and putter around the house for a few hours until everyone else wakes up.
Two nights ago (Christmas) we got snowed in at my inlaws (who I love). I didn’t have all my normal entertainment accouterments so I picked up a James Patterson novel about 9pm and finished all 390 pages by 8:00am the next morning.
I found that I love the hours between 5:00am and 7:00am. It usually takes me a half hour to shake the cobwebs and then I get two hours to myself. Then for the rest of the day I mostly hate it. Even the last few days when I feel pretty good, there’s always this underlying fatigue. My eyes always feel heavy.
So that’s my complaints for the day.
