yeah well i'm sure your base block will need repositioning and that might be tough especially if you incorrectly execute your intra-nap maneuvers

Good luck in your sleepy adventures.

i fell asleep for half a year, not too bad

Darvince, are you still trying polyphasicing? How is it going?

My sleep over soon the past month, it has changed a lot since I got medicine which makes me sleepy. I usually fall asleep in ~30 minutes now.

kol you crazy dane

Darvince · « **Reply #37 on:** July 25, 2013, 12:37:56 AM »

i've actually been sleeping segmented sleep the past several days, but tonight i'm probably going to be monophasic again.

Bla · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2014, 06:13:54 PM »

Sleep over the past bit over a half year now. I usually fall asleep within an hour, maybe even half an hour, if I don't mess up my sleeping pattern (like that's ever going to happen when most friends live in USA kol), and I rarely wake up during the night anymore. (However, I've become more lazy in recording the data as well, and considered stopping several times. Especially in the morning it is hard to really determine whether I should include the hours as yellow or blue, because I may wake up and rest for a few hours, sleeping some of the time.)

Displacing it 6 hours makes it easier to see the sleep pattern. Kol.

such bump

Darvince · « **Reply #41 on:** May 22, 2015, 11:52:01 PM »

yeah i'm gonna do this tomorrow

plan: stay up for 2 days (05-23 till 05-25 for nap one) so it doesn't fail the frick

Jorster · « **Reply #42 on:** May 23, 2015, 09:27:00 AM »

wouldn't everything get fucked as soon as you have daily obligations again?

Darvince · « **Reply #43 on:** May 23, 2015, 09:59:49 AM »

no because it's already planned around those (core finish time is when i usually need to wake up for school, first nap is during lunch, second and third i'm at home)

Darvince · « **Reply #44 on:** May 24, 2015, 12:22:56 AM »

i'm beginning to reconsider polyphaisc
do i really want lesssleep
there's not really anything i can do with that extra time

also why does this topic have so many views

also I think I'm going to try and reduce sleep debt from school before trying to switch to this, so I'll peg this for starting on 05-31, sleepless nights on 05-29 and 05-30

tuto99 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 24, 2015, 04:18:04 AM »

why would you do this sleep is sooo goood

atomic7732 · « **Reply #46 on:** May 24, 2015, 05:50:12 AM »

i don't understand why you'd reduce your sleep debt, only to deprive yourself of sleep...

wouldn't you already have a head start?

also how is it going to work if kolkon, or that vacation thing to seattle you have

Darvince · « **Reply #47 on:** May 24, 2015, 10:10:02 AM »

yeah nevermind that I'm gonna start it tonight

Darvince · « **Reply #48 on:** May 25, 2015, 03:41:01 AM »

So I figured out that there's a slight problem with my schedule - during the core time, there would be two REM sleep phases and during the naps scattered throughout the day, there would be three more. The Uberman schedule has six REM sleep phases, so I need to rejiggle the naps to get the desired six REM sleep cycles, corresponding to about nine hours of monophasic sleep.

Bad schedule:
03:04 to 06:04

NAPS:
12:00 to 12:22
17:11 to 17:33
22:30 to 22:52

Better schedule:
03:00 to 06:00

NAPS:
11:50 to 12:10 - gap of ~4.9 hours from original wake time
15:30 to 15:50 - gap of ~3.4 hours from last nap
19:10 to 19:30 - gap of ~3.3 hours from last nap
23:00 to 23:20 - gap of 3.5 hours from last nap
And then ~3.6 hours until the core sleep

The most difficult part of this should be the first and second naps since they're both not with the correct amount of gap. The first nap should be especially interesting adjusting to it. Theoretically, the ideal schedule would look like this (with core time from 03:00 to 06:00):

Adjusted for absolute time off from perfect:
10:02 to 10:22 - delayed by 1 hour, 48 minutes
14:14 to 14:34 - delayed by 1 hour, 16 minutes
18:36 to 18:56 - delayed by 34 minutes
22:38 to 22:58 - delayed by 22 minutes

Adjusted for relative gaps between naps:
10:02 to 10:22 - delayed by 1 hour, 48 minutes
14:14 to 14:34 - advanced by 32 minutes
18:36 to 18:56 - advanced by 32 minutes
22:38 to 22:58 - advanced by 22 minutes

atomic7732 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 25, 2015, 11:00:39 AM »

aren't you supposed to just lengthen core to 3.5 hours to get the third REM cycle in the core
also i read your core should be at the start of the night instead of right before you get up

idk just from googling a bit about everyman

also these sleep cycles seem kind of silly in that they are extremely rigid and fragile

Darvince · « **Reply #50 on:** May 25, 2015, 11:27:46 AM »

what do you mean they seem fragile

atomic7732 · « **Reply #51 on:** May 25, 2015, 11:30:31 AM »

if you miss a nap you have to move it to a certain spot and if you miss the core you have to have planned ahead to do so you can't just move your sleep schedule around like you can in monophasic/biphasic sleep

for example i couldn't have gone onto summer vacation, started staying up until 2 (changing it in practically a day), then one day sleep at 1 and get up at 5 for an event, and then take a 2 hour nap after it's over, and then stay up until 2 in the morning again

Darvince · « **Reply #52 on:** May 25, 2015, 12:39:33 PM »

well that's actually part of why I chose everyman over uberman, it's more flexible than that, so if I fail to get one nap I won't die (if I ever make it past the breaking point where it starts getting easy)

Darvince · « **Reply #53 on:** May 26, 2015, 01:02:07 AM »

so nue explained my why I should lengthen my core to 3.5 hours in order to reduce my naps throughout the day - so my first schedule wasn't bad, it just had too short core time.

New this one is right dammit schedule:

CORE: 02:30 - 06:00
NAPS
11:50 to 12:10 - gap of ~4.9 hours
16:10 to 16:30 - gap of 4 hours
20:30 to 20:50 - gap of 4 hours
and then another 4.7 hour gap between the end of the last nap and core sleep.

Darvince · « **Reply #54 on:** May 30, 2015, 12:52:09 AM »

holy shit I am so tired

In case you're wondering I'm doing the Uberman schedule until I am fully adjusted to the polyphasic lifestyle, per se, and so far I have not slept at all since I woke up yesterday and then decided to begin at the 3am nap yesterday.

My schedule:
03:00 - 03:20
07:00 - 07:20
11:00 - 11:20
15:00 - 15:20
19:00 - 19:20
23:00 - 23:20

Naps can be added at the middle between the naps, so these are the available extra nap slots (if needed):
01:00 - 01:20 - I'm about to take this one
05:00 - 05:20
09:00 - 09:20
13:00 - 13:20
17:00 - 17:20
21:00 - 21:20

why sleep in a polyphasic manner when you can just constantly be on meth, and never have to sleep?

Bla · « **Reply #56 on:** May 31, 2015, 11:26:04 AM »

Being on meth and never sleeping tends to cause death, which may be a minor inconvenience

Darvince · « **Reply #57 on:** May 31, 2015, 12:04:53 PM »

"minor"

Jorster · « **Reply #58 on:** May 31, 2015, 07:20:29 PM »

Well yeah, but you also get to experience the sought after "Amphetamine Psychosis", or what I like to affectionately refer to as temporary Schizophrenia
