Polyphasic Sleep - Day 2

I expected today that I would be more tired than yesterday, but for the most part this is has been a repeat of yesterday. I went to sleep at 3:00am and woke up before my alarm went off and turned it off. I don't know how I've managed to do that, but if I naturally only need less than 4 and a half hours of sleep, so be it. I doubt that though, it was probably just coincidence.

Well one thing that changed today was I had my naps later. There was almost an even gap between each block of sleep and I felt that was not necessarily the best option. That would be the best option if I was just napping without any core sleep, but it makes sense that after 4 and a half hours I'd be able to go the longest without napping. So I changed my nap times from 2:00pm to 3:00pm and 9:00pm to 10:00pm, but I don't mind starting 15 minutes early. I'd also rather sleep at the new times than the old ones. I guess if I manage to adapt I'll work out for sure what is best or if it even matters.

I did not sleep on either nap but I did lose physical perception. Eventually I forget that I am lying there and all my focus is on my thoughts, like I am dreaming but still awake. All it takes is a sudden noise to pull me out of this state. It's kind of like half asleep, half daydreaming, relaxed state. I expect tomorrow I will actually be asleep during my naps.

I actually had to walk around my room to keep myself awake from about 2:20am to 2:55am. My bed was calling me but I was ignoring it, and I ended up sleeping on the floor. I am finding it much easier to get comfortable while on the floor and I've read sleeping without the support of a mattress is good for your back. I'll look in to sleeping on the floor more often.

It will be interesting when I get deeper in to this. At the moment I am confident that I am in a position to get through with it and successfully adapt, but one failure will send me back and possibly reset me if I sleep in too long. I don't have anyone to come get me up if I don't manage to myself, so it's important for me to be able to wake up properly after each time I sleep. I am really only worried about after I sleep 4.5 hours, but so far no issues. More details will come when more major things happen.
