This is my third day in a row on a semi-polyphasic sleep schedule, but before I was normal, not biphasic. I was biphasic a short while ago though. Basically, since I don't have a job this summer, I asked myself what the best possible sleep schedule for college would be, and I came up with a 3 hour core sleep from 2:30 to 5:30 and then 3 or 4 twenty minute naps throughout the day.

My game plan is to not have these naps be at any certain times specifically, but rather be able to flow with whatever activities college throws at me. Part of this sleeping pattern is also to conquer a problem I have of taking 20-30 minutes to fall asleep every time. I figure if I keep setting my alarm for shorter and shorter periods (like instead of 45 minutes for a 20 minute nap, but 40) eventually I will be forced to fall asleep faster.

I'll let you guys know how it goes, and by posting it here, it will help me stay true to my word.
