There’s not many things as odd as changing your sleep pattern. I have started on my quest to live a polyphasic sleep pattern and realised that this is going to (if I can keep it up) change my life in many ways other than expected. It’s more than just a change of the times and methods that you go to sleep, it is very much changing the very fabric of night and day. I have lived with a monophasic sleep pattern for twenty something years, and to change this is more than just a shift of regime, it is going to mean me having to redefine the very way in which I exist. Don’t get me wrong, this is exactly what I was after; finding new and improved ways to live, but I just didn’t realise that this change was going to be so far reaching.
I will try and keep updates on my progress on a daily basis, though I’m not so sure this will be absolutely possible, but I will do my best on it. I have just had my first nap (04:00) so it is now 04:58 and I’m feeling OK with it now. I am not going to say any more than this because I am fully aware that I have to go through a two week period of sleep deprivation before I can start to know that I am “over the hump” – but I’ve begun and I don’t have any regrets yet.
