Polyphasic Sleep: Day 6

( Sleep Log )

I'm starting to see a pattern here. I feel the sleep deprivation a lot more during the times of day in which I'm accustomed to sleeping. Mr. Pavlina reported a similar effect (he said he was pretty useless from 2am until about 6am), so I'm thinking this is a real effect of the readjustment and I just need to be aware of it and work on techniques to deal with it.

A couple of minor slips (apparently one a little bigger than I'd realized until I went to write this up), but that's ok. I feel I'm back on track to the joys of at least a week or so of feeling very sleep deprived. Now we get to see if I can keep summoning up the willpower to drag myself out of a bed a part of me really doesn't want to leave enough times to learn whether or not this is really going to work. I know all the little successes are just that, steps along the road, not really demonstrations of the end. I know the worst is yet to come . . . this morning was a good demonstration of that. It's fairly humbling.

At least I'm still capable of writing coherently, and get matching tags right the first time?
