Sleep 1

23:28 to 02:51

(3:23 hours)

Last night I was exhausted again. From about 9:00pm up until my bed time I had to continuously fight off sleep. I toyed with the idea of extending my core to 4.5 hours, but after talking to a few people on IRC chat I decided against it.

Today, if I feel really sleepy at any point which isn't right before or after a nap I will take an extra nap to see if that helps. Apparently this is a much better idea than extending a core and won't really harm my adaptation.

When I woke up from this sleep I was dreaming, but I can't remember anything about the dream. I'm still sleepy though...

Sleep 2

04:45 to 04:55

(0:10 hours)

I have been so exhausted that I decided to take a sneaky extra nap on the study floor. I set the alarm for 22 minutes but woke up after 10 and I feel somewhat refreshed. I just hope I can sleep for my 6:30 nap.

Sleep 3

06:20 to 06:42

(0:22 hours)

I took my normal 6:30 nap a few minutes early because I was knackered. I slept on my study floor with a cushion under my head, and eye pillow on my face and a small blanket over me. I think this is a better nap spot than the sofa!

I think I dreamt through this nap, although I don't have a clue what I dreamt about. I feel much better for that nap, although my vision is blurred for some reason.

Sleep 4

13:09 to 14:39

(1:30 hours)

Now THAT is what I call a nap!

I have decided that the everyman sleep pattern is not for me. Basically adapting to it seems to stop life being fun, and although it may have been cool to be finally adapted to it, I'm not sure it is worth the effort.

This nap marks the start of my attempt to sleep with a proper biphasic pattern (i.e. better than the joke of a sleep pattern I had in Spain).

I feel a bit groggy after that nap, but it feels like I got a whole nights sleep! Let's see how this works out for me...

Sleep 5

23:33 to 05:32

(5:59 hours)

Today I slept for a long, 6 hour core. When this new sleeping pattern is properly established I hope to only sleep 4.5 hours for my core, but I wanted to use this core to pay off some sleep debt from my everyman experiment.

I slept through solidly, and when my alarm went off it took me a while to work out what was going on. Now that I'm up I feel a little bit sleepy, but nothing compared to my 2:30am wake up on eveyman!
