I’m back!
After a month of being off my regularly scheduled polyphasic program, I’m finally back to blogging and getting ready to start up my sleep schedule anew. I’ve missed my sleep schedule sooo much.
First, quickly what went down: June 16th, moved out to Atlanta for business and proceeded to work two 100 hour work weeks (by choice; more work = more reward in this job). My sleep discipline was a lifesaver; as I was well prepared to function with very little core sleep. Sadly, the new environment and lack of sleeping areas made naps hard to come by.
Fortuitously, our operation just moved into a new, much larger office space. Since there happens to be a couple of us who are more productive on a polyphasic schedule, the overlords offered to reserve a room specifically for napping (i guess they like getting as much work out of us as possible).
Anyway, today it begins.
Got up at 5:00 am after four-and-a-half glorious hours of sleep. My new plan will be 4.5 hr core sleep, with 2 naps plus an optional one. This will wind up netting between 5 and 6 hrs of sleep per day. I found this distribution of sleep to be the least resistant and the easiest one to maintain.
As for my previous expereinces, I will (at some point) put up the rest of my data. I made it well over 10 weeks, averaging under 6 hrs of sleep a night. I believe my goal of 3 hr core w/ 3 x 20 min naps was a bit lofty with such a variable work/life schedule (as will be seen in the data; even with sleep-ins and mistakes, I still averaged around 5.7 hrs of sleep a day though 
).
Well here goes, good luck me and everyone else working to be polyphasic!
