Polyphasic Sleep - Day 3

Today was a good day. I woke up in my warm comfortable bed at the blissful sound of my alarm clock as I got up to start the day. That's weird, because I went to sleep on the floor and somehow I woke up in my bed with the covers on. It does not really matter because I still got up fine and have only been slightly more tired than day 2.

The naps went down fine and it is easy for me to get comfortable now though I still haven't properly slept, only very lightly, and the first nap felt like an hour long. I notice after I get up from a nap I have this slightly sweet taste in my mouth like what you'd feel an hour after eating a packet of candy. Just some leftover taste maybe it is because I have been eating a lot of fruit.

I have also been eating more food than normal. Normally, shortly before bed I'd usually just eat something small but now I eat several things and then a banana again later after that. It's really an additional meal each day to make up for the extra time spent awake.

I have just been watching movies all day to keep myself occupied and it is quite effective particularly between the 12:00am to 3:00am section. Compared to the last times I tried polyphasic sleep I am not yet experiencing the same sleep deprivation so it is definitely going to get deeper and more intense until it gets better. The only thing that would make me fail is if I sleep in, so I have to do my best to prevent that from happening and I should make it through. I would be very annoyed if I woke up in my bed 12 hours late with little memory of what went wrong, but that can happen and does happen to people.

If I were to make a guess right now, I'd say day 7 will be the worst, and I should be adapted by day 12. I could be totally wrong, because it might take longer to adapt than that because of my long core sleep and because I only have 2 naps. I suppose I'll find out when it happens. I'd also like to say that right now I am pretty confident that I will make it through the adaption but we will find out soon.
