As you can see up there in red, I overslept by an hour on the 26th, (Tuesday morning), and I ended up missing my afternoon nap. I don’t have any real good excuse, but at least it didn’t seem to effect me.
That is the nice thing about the “Everyman 3” polyphasic sleep schedule. Once you are adjusted, you can have a day like that without messing up everything.
IRC Polyphasic Resource
I have found a neat resource, or at least a small group of people who are doing the same thing as me. (Polyphasic Sleep)
There is an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net called #polyphasers. There are always at least a dozen people on at any time. Some are lurkers wanting to start polyphasic, some are beginners and a few are polyphasic old timers.
The one thing I love about the channel is that inevitably during any conversation, someone will say, “nap time, talk to you in 20 minutes.” It’s great during those heated conversations. :)
Those of You Who Are Struggling
Lastly I just want to say, “Hang in there” to those people who are struggling with their sleep schedules. If you keep trying, you will get it.
Just remember to find a motivation for getting up, or it will be VERY hard to wake up after that 3 hour core nap, or any of those 20 minute naps.
