It has been 43 Hours since my last normal sleep session.

So far the whole polyphasic sleep adoption process has not been very difficult.
I stayed up through Thursday night and started with my sleep schedule today at 14:00.

We had a little family gathering at my parent’s between 14:00 and 20:30 so I had to take my first two naps at their house. Most of my family thought that I am crazy in only sleeping in half an hour sessions but overall it did not feel to weird having to take a short nap twice while everyone where socializing.

Since 16:00 my eyes started hurting a bit, after each sleep session it feels a lot better but the slight tired pain starts coming back about half an hour after every wakeup.
Since 22:00 I am beginning to get very tired and only started to feel more awake after watching some television and working on the computer.
So far I managed to fall asleep at every session within the first 10 minutes thus getting between 20 and 25 minutes of sleep per .

I defiantly think that staying up through Thursday night helped a lot because I usually would not have been able to fall asleep within half an hour during day times.
