I am now on my 9th day of my polyphasic schedule. The adjustment was a lot easier than I could ever have imagined.

Day 3 had my worst adjustment changes. After I woke up from my 18:00 nap I felt very tired and had a slight headache, still it was bearable and I could continue normally. After my 22:00 sleep session I felt terrible. I felt very tired, I had a terrible headache and felt like I was about to throw up. I felt so terrible that I couldn’t do anything. After 2 hours I started feeling better. I went for my 2am nap and felt refreshed after that. Since then I didn’t have any sleep depression signs and being on day 9 I think that I have adjusted.

I am quite amazed on how easy adjusting to polyphasic is the second time round. Only half a day of feeling miserable; I am still a bit tired an hour before sleep time but only 9 days in that can be expected.

New Schedule:
Today I have started my new sleeping schedule of cutting down on one session and now only sleeping 5 sessions instead of 6 being: 07:00, 12:00, 17:00, 22:00 and 03:00. I will post an update a couple of days into the new schedule.
Who knows if all goes well I might cut one more down going on 4 sessions being a Dimaxian schedule.
