Stage 1: Day 2: Evening

I decided not to do the 11 nap. With the schedule I have, I think it's the best idea if I flat out skip the late morning nap. I won't be able to have that one on MWF due to my classes, and on TR it would be late.

I slept pretty well at the 2 PM nap, better than I have on any of the naps before. I didn't sleep a bit at the 6PM nap. However, I consider today to be a complete success. The reason being that this week is for adjusting my body to having naps in the afternoon. I'm feeling good about this schedule, but I'm starting to worry that I won't have things to do with my time during the adjustment period. I'll need to have things to do that aren't too terribly thought intensive. I'll probably work on the graphics for my new layout for my website.

Well, since I'm not polyphasic yet, I'm going to have to crash in a couple of hours. If I keep getting rested during my naps, I might just start getting to bed later and later, working towards stage 2. Right now, it's 9 o'clock, and I feel like it's 7. I'll probably get to bed at eleven or twelve. I'm still going to get up at 5:50, but I have a little extra time if I slip. I plan on holding this schedule for the rest of the week, or possibly adjust further. I'm assuming that I'll be able to sleep during my naps. The other thing is that I'm probably going to have to cut off the caffeine. Today all I had was two cans of pop. As opposed to yesterday when I had a pot of coffee and a few cans of pop. Today I slept better, I bet those go together.

My schedule will be interesting though, especially since I have a weight training class this semester, and what I've read says that polyphasic sleep is more rejuvenating mentally than physically. We'll see how this goes. Any support (not money here people, words of encouragement) would be appreciated.
