Wow! Quietly slid into the news feeds I have for today is news that Police can (and have been for a while) hack into home and work computers without a court order.

In other changes to the Force for 2009, Police will now be wearing hoodies and dishing out headbuts as punishments.

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.
