So, about the whole not falling behind for a while thing. Well… about that. I mighta got ahead of myself. But, more details on that for day 5′s post. If you are wondering on the post’s name, hold on twelve seconds it’ll be in here. Gah, being impatient. If you haven’t been able to tell, I’m going to be writing this on a more personal note from now on. I have been trying to keep it semi-formal to have some validity, and maybe help some people. However, writing like that is boring, and English teachers are always telling me to try to put my voice in my writing.
Since I am writing this on a more personal note I will start putting some things about my day that are more personal to me and less relevant to the actual sleep part of this schedule as the second paragraph. Because in essence, this is a lifestyle, not a simple change in what cereal you buy. So, if you do not wish to know, I would recommend skipping the second paragraph from hereon out. However, today the personal info will be the third paragraph: due to this explanation paragraph.
I guess I’ll start with my living situation. Right now, I am living with my mom. I have no job, but I will get one after the sleep deprivation isn’t randomly sending me into zombie mode. I am going to start college this August at Oklahoma State, and plan to maintain a polyphasic sleep schedule for the rest of my life, hopefully. I started wanting to do this because of how little sleep I would naturally get. I would feel completely groggy all day, and wake up at noon. So, almost all of my daytime hours were being wasted to sleep. I’ll continue this second paragraph trend. So, more tomorrow, and now time for the actual day four part of this.
Day Four: So, the beginning of the day started out fairly normal. My 12am nap went well: I had dreams and didn’t feel too groggy when I woke up. The 4am one went much the same way. Then came the 8am nap. Holy freaking god, I could not even move after waking up. I had to literally fall out of my bed to get myself out of it. I am incredibly lucky that I did not just fall back asleep. It did not get any better throughout the 4 hours. Zombie mode the entire time. To make it through, I did not sit/lay down or stop walking. I was also ravenous during this period, but the food did not make it any better. When noon rolled around I was ecstatic. However, it did not get any better. If anything it got much worse. I thought I might have to legitimately have to quit if this continued for much longer. After managing to stay awake through 90% of the time, I read that naps should be no longer than 20ish minutes. Since I had nothing to lose, I tried it out. Eureka!!! I woke up feeling amazing. So amazing in fact, I did a 1,111 calorie cardio workout that night. Still felt amazing after the following nap. Only sleeping 2 hours a night now…..and segue into day 5
Thanks for reading.

P.S. I may actually promote this blog some day. You will probably know that I have considering there would be no other way you would of found out about my blog. As for right now, it is something that keeps me awake, and helps me keep track of the days.
