Ati is on a distinguished road
Thumbs up Polyphasic (biphasic) sleep day 1

Good morning!

I'm in on this now, will give it a try with the log idea, great idea Dave--I log stuff for myself all the time when I'm trying out new things, changing a habit, learning something new. Nice to be logging something with the sharing of experiences included!

Not sure if I will log first thing in the am or later in the day. Right now, first in the am works with how I've been doing things, so here I am (a little bit off prior schedule but here I am). So this is not a report yet on one day
since I can't tell my self I've experienced one day's worth YET.

90 minute nap 630P to 800P last night
Up doing not too much focused stuff (yet), caught up with computer stuff
Longer sleep block 1130 to 400am (To bed 1130 for some reason so set the alarm at 400, not 345 to get full 4.5 hrs)

(Woke up in the middle of a long-feeling dream in which I was learning how to do something having to do with graphs and tables from this board , had just learned what looked to be a great speed up in that process but the alarm went off---hmmmmm... got up anyway )

So, today will see how going for 12++ hours without a nap after sleeping 4.5 hours will be.

I'm going to buy into the 90 minute sleep time slot idea. I'm wondering how much it will matter if the second 90 minutes comes at different times, with the night block being stable. We'll see! (any knowledge, references, opinions, experiences on this question most welcome!)

all best,

Ati
