Default Some usefull tips and info on my crazy sleeping experience

When getting to tired take a core nap
This morning because of my hurting eyes I decided not to get up after one of my sleep sessions and without noticing it I must have fallen asleep an woke again after half an hour.
After my slight oversleeping I notice that I felt way better. Previously I had the problem that being tired all the time I could not sleep normally as this would ruin the whole schedule. Taking a 2 hour core nap in you last sleep session before the day starts - my 6:00 session - seems to help reset the system while not ruining my sleeping schedule.

Read up on techniques for reducing eye strain
Most of us try polyphasic sleeping because we need more time working on the computer or reading. I have a problem where working on the computer puts to much strain on my eyes. After reading up on eye strain on computers I adjusted my screen’s brightness, refresh rate and lifted my seat so that my eyes are above the top of the screen. I could instantly feel the difference the changes had on my eyes. I can but hope that this is sufficient in helping my eye problem.

Crazy sleeping experience
After updating another post I realized that I haven’t mentioned how crazy my sleep is getting. After my lucid dreaming started my whole way of falling asleep changed.
When I go to sleep I close my eyes and tell myself that I have to sleep and have to wake up after half an hour. Then the craziness starts.
After about two minutes of closing my eyes I a lucid dream starts. As I lay there I start seeing and hearing the dream, then I just relax and watch my dream almost like watching a movie. The crazy part is that I can even alter things in my dream as I am fully aware of what is going on. After a couple of seconds of relaxing and watching the dream I will drift into sleep.
This is by far the weirdest ever as before my polyphasic sleeping I could never remember any dreams, now I am even partaking in them.
