Most of the time today I felt great and was able to sit down and do things that don't require a lot of attention without falling asleep. Before my core sleep the tiredness that I get didn't start until 2:00am so I didn't have to force myself to stay awake for too long. It looks like it is getting closer to 3:00am before I get tired so soon I should have no difficulty staying up that late. I was also less tired in the morning and for a shorter duration, so most of the day was spent feeling good.
Naps today went the best they have gone so far. I slept through both of them even if only lightly. They should get better each day until I finally experience deep sleep in them. By then I should be fully awake all day so that day will be when the adaption process is complete. It shouldn't be too long now and I don't see myself failing to make it.
None of my family realises that I am sleeping 3 times a day even though I've had my door shut when napping and I don't usually have my door shut. I kept quiet about it this time because last time when I was younger I got some interference for doing it. Although I don't think that would have been an issue this time, I just preferred to keep to myself about it. I've been able to leave the house many times without any issues and this schedule does not have much social pressure on it because of the flexibility it has.
If I complete this adaption process, which I should, I have no reason to stop polyphasic sleeping that I can see in the future. When school starts again in about 5 weeks I should still be able to keep going only I'll have to have my core sleep from 2:30am to 7:00am and nap at around 3:30-4:00pm. It will be a longer stretch, but with the core sleeping being 4.5 hours I think I should manage. I will test this out a week before I need to do it though.
Also, feel free to contact me using the comments box below each post particularly if you are a polyphasic sleeper.
