DAY 1 – Tuesday June 17, 2008
The last time I had a full night’s sleep, or slept monophasically, was on the night of the 16th to the 17th from 1am to 10 am. I decided to try polyphasic sleep at about 9 pm of the evening of the 17th and figured the most convenient time to sleep would be at 3:30, 7:30, and 11:30. That goes for both the am and pm hours. I’m sleeping for about 25 minutes each time for now. I may later reduce it to twenty.
The first time I lay down for a nap was at 11:30 pm on the 17th, and I didn’t fall asleep, though that wasn’t terrible surprising. I tried again at 3:30 am that night… and still no sleep. The first time I fell asleep was during the 7:30 am nap and it was probably about ten minutes in that I actually fell asleep. I was pretty tired at this point, and ended up hitting the snooze button a couple of time which added about twenty minutes of time.
Ranking System
I’m going to rank each nap I take on a 0-5 scale.
0: Implies complications prevented nap.
1: No sleep.
2: No sleep, but somewhat refreshing.
3: Sleep 5 or more minutes in, broken-up or conscious sleep.
4: Successful sleep but somewhat tired upon awaking.
5: Sleep shortly after lying down, awoke refreshed.
Last monophasic sleep – 1am – 10 am June 17th
11:30 pm – Rank: 1
First attempt, no sleep (not surprising)
