It has now been 80 hours since my last normal sleep.

I ran 8.2km this morning, I was a bit doubtful to attempt such a distance so early in my sleeping schedule change but decided there is only one way to find out how my body will adapt.
I ran the distance with no more difficulty than any other morning, in fact I finished 4 minutes faster than my best time more due to a motivation boost since my energy levels are a bit on the down side this morning.Usually after running my legs are stiff for a day or two, it will be interesting to see how my body recovers since I am not sleeping near as much as before.

My wife and I went to church this morning, which as of yet must have been the most challenging. I did not sleep as good in my previous two naps and am more tired this morning.Church turned out to be quite a challenge. When blinking I could feel myself drifting away, fighting micro sleep every couple of minutes.

At the moment I am looking forward to my next nap.Yes half an hour is not much sleep but the energy boost I get after each nap is amazing.

I haven't hit sleep depression yet and are unsure as to what stages of sleep I am getting at the moment. I haven't experienced any lucid dreaming, in fact I can't recall any dream since I started which is normal for me as I could never remember my dreams.

I managed to finish my website color theme last night. All my polyphasic sleep posts are on there as well. Please visit Vuurstomr's Blender 3D and feel free to leave some comments.The about section still needs updates, I will get to that tonight.
