Polyphasic Sleep - Day 12

I wasn't going to post again today because I thought it would be better if I just start posting every few days. I was wrong though and now I have made some more progress worth it's own post.

I actually napped three times today instead of two. Once late in the morning, in the middle of the afternoon, and late at night. I've just been sleeping when it feels like I should sleep and at 2:00am instead of 3:00am. I liked getting up at 6:30am and I wasn't too tired so I'll continue to do that.

Napping was actually worthwhile today unlike previous days when I've pretty much had nap insomnia. I went to sleep all 3 times and they are starting to feel a bit deeper. Assuming I can keep this up, napping 2-3 times a day without oversleeping, I'll probably hit deep sleep soon.

I've always had some black under my eyes but if you saw me now you'd be able to see that I am sleep deprived. I'd expect that the black under my eyes will completely disappear when I have finished the adaption process. If not, there is something other than sleep deprivation causing it.

I also slept my core sleep with a sheet on. I had avoided sleeping with any covers because I thought it would make it more difficult for me to get up in the mornings, but since now I know I can get up without much issue it does not worry me so much. Actually, I think 12 days with only 4.5 hours sleep in the morning and still getting up fine each morning is my personal record. I've never done something like this successfully before, even the last times I tried polyphasic sleep, so if I do fail at adapting I have still grown from this experience. I know I have what it takes to make it through many sleep deprived days in a row and that's what gets most people with polyphasic sleep. So from now on during my core sleep I am covered as I usually would be, it just helps me sleep better.
