Default Tweaks for adaption period Uberman Sleep schedule

I did go through the adaption period last week.

En ehm... I ended up to go for everyman sleep schedule.

My initial timeschedule was:

6:00 12:00 18:00 naps
and then fill in the time between 18:00 and 6:00

First I went for uberman but I failed two times to pass the second day. Now, the second time went better and stayed more stable. So things were growing. But the REM deprivation and missing a good plan on paper did my mind go for weaker options. In this case just had a some sleep cycles of 1.5 hour.

What I learned: I certainly like to give my body time for rest in a 'normal' way more than I thought. I appreciate it now much more.

And for next time, if I want to go for Uberman Sleep Schedule I have to focus on the time 1:00 - 6:00 on the second day. That was very difficult. Perhaps just playing light chess on the internet for a 3.5 hour will work. Cause I don't expect I can do anything else usefull. With all the time in the world, and time to nap for 25 minutes for as much as I want, the unconsciousness should adapt I think.

Anyway my new sleepschedule is now: 6:00, 12:00, 18:00 naps and a core cycle of 2 -3 of 1.5 hours.

I think somehow the Everyman sleepschedule is the way to go for me. I also had that sense of knowing before I went through this adaption period.

Just Be.

What I don't like is the idea that I perhaps didn't go through the REM deprivation deep enough for real adaption.

Next time in zombie state I play chess on the internet. To spend the night.
