Welcome!

Welcome everybody! This is my blog about my experiences with polyphasic sleep. I have made some attempts with polyphasic sleep in the past, and I have been close, but never quite managed to adjust to the schedule. For those of you who don't know, polyphasic, or the "Da Vinci" schedule is where you sleep about 20 minutes every 4 hours. It is designed so that you get all of your REM sleep, the most important kind of sleep, in those 20 minute naps. It is also said to increase your IQ, but I'm not sure of that. My schedule will be as follows: 6 naps throughout the day, at 2:00, 6:00, and 10:00 (am/pm). I am about to start a new job, and the break when I am full time will be at either 10:00 pm, or 2:00 am. I am about an hour and a half away from my next nap at 6:00 am, but I will probably post soon after that. As of now, I haven't slept in 14 hours. My record for staying up, with no sleep is about 30 hours. Obviously I hope to beat that with the naps.

Thanks for reading,
