As most of you know, I have been doing the polyphasic sleep schedule called "Everyman".
This allows me to sleep for 4 hours total a day and have more time to get things accomplished. For those unfamiliar, my sleep schedule is as follows.
- 9pm-midnight (core sleep)
- 5am (20 minute nap)
- Noon (20 minute nap)
- 5pm (20 minute nap)
Last week was a busy week for us at the house, with Titus our newborn here, and I found that I was skipping my naps.
The first day I was okay, but the second day, I woke up at midnight night cranky and tired. I thought about it though, and it makes sense. Without the 20 minute naps, I am running on only 3 hours of sleep total. It would be just like if I was doing normal sleep and only got 3 hours of sleep. I would be tired and cranky.
It makes sense.
So to all of you out there trying the "Everyman" polyphasic sleep schedule, please remember your naps. They are VERY important and key to succeeding with your polyphasic sleep.
