Polyphasic sleep beginning of day 6. So far I had slep 14 and a half hours since 22 December 2006.

I had my first lucid dreaming experience this morning during my 2am nap. It is now 07:am and I can’t remember the dream anymore which is normal for me, I never could remember dreams. This morning at 5am as was feeling very tired, as I was laying down on the couch watching Starwars III on tv, I closed my eyes just for a minute and instantly started dreaming. I realized that I just felt asleep and as I opened my eyes I woke up and 5 minutes has just passed. After a couple of minutes still being tired I closed my eyes and the same thing happened again. After that I sat up strait amazed at what just happened but also very glad as now I had proof that I am definably getting REM sleep and that it is happening the instant I fall asleep.This reminds me a golden rule when starting polyphasic sleeping - KEEP BUSY.

One side effect that I noticed, when I wake up I am very thirsty. It started two days ago, being only slightly thirsty but now when I wake up from a nap I have difficulty speaking until I drank some water. As I stated previously I am going to start drinking a lot of fruit juices and will keep you posted if it solved the problem.
Reading through the other posts I noticed that everyone started feeling a lot better after day 6. I can but hope that this will be the same case with me not that I am feeling bad, I am feeling good, just starts to get tired at the last hour before my next nap.
