Biphasic Sleep, Day 23
After a short break from my regular updates, I'm back on now.
Day 20, my core sleep was 3:30am to 5am and my nap was 9am to 1:30pm.
Day 21, my core sleep was 3:30am to 5am and my nap was 9am to 12pm.
Day 22, my core sleep was 6am to 7:30am and my nap was 10:30am to 3pm.
This morning (Day 23), I had just one sleep period which drug from 5am to 2pm with a couple breaks, one to feed the cats and another to answer the phone. I could have gotten up earlier but at some point I decided to let my body get some extra sleep to recover from the inconsistent sleep periods of the past week or so.
I haven't felt too tired any of those days. Those days which I had more than one catnap (Days 20 and 21), I could have skipped them if I had been less relaxed.
I would still like to meet my earlier stated goal of 7 straight days of biphasic sleep without more than one catnap. To do that by the end of the 30-day trial, I would need tomorrow to be the first of those seven days. So I'll start my reading-in-bed time extra early tonight (probably around 1:15am) so I can definitely fall asleep in time for a full two sleep cycles from 2am to 5am. If that works well, I'll repeat it for later sleep periods. While this means I'll spend up to 45 minutes reading twice a day, I don't consider that wasted time at all (it's reading, who could complain?).
