Last night was my first try. I started with the 4.5 hours of core sleep (I'm insanely tired as I write this, i need my nap). The weird thing was, i fell asleep at almost 4 a.m. on the dot, and woke up at 8:30 a.m. on the dot after having a dream about raman noodles and oatmeal. That's 4.5 hours exactly, which I guess would mean my cycles are 90 minutes long? (assuming it was 3 cycles. I hope I'm not some weirdo with 45 minute cycles)

I'm going to do some more experimenting. I'll see how my first nap goes. Hopefully i won't oversleep.

Another question. How long does it take for your cycles to shorten? Will I notice in months or weeks? Days?

Update:
My nap was HORRIBLE. I slept for less than 30 minutes over a period of two hours. I feel completely awful. At least knowing the benefits will be greater in the end is keeping me going.
