Most of this week I've been waking up at 6:00 AM, and not getting to sleep till 1:00 AM. Yesterday, was the same. Got to bed at 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM and woke up at 4:00 AM and then 5:00 AM to leave for the airport.<br /><br /><br /><br />My sister and I were flying out to California to surprise our parents for 4th of July. My birthday was yesterday, and my dad's is on Sunday.<br /><br /><br /><br />Was completely sleep deprived, hadn't been taking any naps this week at all. So I figured this would be a good time to experiment with polyphasic sleeping during the 5+ hour flight.<br /><br /><br /><br />Took a nap right when I got on the airplane for maybe 20-30 minutes. Then again in about an hour or two into the flight another 20 minute nap. Read a work-related book on online marketing/brand development, took some notes on upcoming speech in Kansas City.<br /><br /><br /><p>When we arrived at SFO, some family friends picked us up. We let them in on the plan of how we'd surprise them at the dim-sum restaurant. The friends would enter the restaurant first, then my sister would walk in 45 secs. afterwards to surprise my dad (my mom knew of my sister coming), then I would come in about a minute later to surprise both of them. Meanwhile, the friend was taking video of the whole event. </p><p>Very good surprise. I'll post a video later. After stuffing myself with yummy dim-sum I felt another need for a nap. Carb-overload. </p><p>So, got home and took another 1 hour long nap. I woke up a bit groggier this time so I think that was a bit too long. The other mini naps today were very refreshing.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3785218122776244124-2352316978122703710?l=nappingkoala.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Justine Lamnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3785218122776244124.post-1464960002965553852008-05-15T13:19:00.000-07:002008-05-15T13:23:06.092-07:00So, I've been reading about polyphasic sleeping ever since I met with the author of "Oh God, the Chicken" last weekend.<br /><br />Today, he posted about <a href="http://ohgodthechicken.com/?p=32">how to start with polyphasic sleeping</a><a href="http://ohgodthechicken.com/?p=32">.</a><br /><br />I think I may attempt Everyman Level 1 (6 hours of core sleep) starting next week after my interview in Chicago.<br /><br />My job situation is in flux right now, and I'm in the middle of interviewing. I most likely will be moving out of Arlington in the next few weeks, so we'll see if I can squeeze in this experiment before I start a regular 9-5 job.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3785218122776244124-146496000296555385?l=nappingkoala.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Justine Lamnoreply@blogger.com0
