3rd Polyphasic Attempt: Day 13

April 21st, 2010

You’ve got to be kidding. I awoke at 4:40. Goddamnit! *insert various foul language here*

Seriously, I have been going fantastically for 3 days straight, and then brought right back down. This is my no. 1 problem with polyphasic sleep: For the adaption, it’s relentless. You screw up once, it brings you back 2+ days of adaption, which is really hurts my motivation, making me cold, bitter, and just generally angry at the world. I suppose the issue is that it’s down to you failing, rather than anyone else, making it harder to bear. Still, early days yet. I don’t want to be in limbo much more, and I know it’s going to effect me detrimentally sometime in school, so I better adapt fast.

The main issue is my parents. They are 100% against the idea of polyphasic sleep, and think that it is unscientific/illogical/stupid. Subsequently, they try and keep me away from it (which I just can’t seem to do. Seriously, I can picture myself on my 15th or so polyphasic attempt before getting it right :P ). So, I tend to be holed away from the world at night, in my dark room (which is killing my adaption, I just know it) watching movies, doing work and playing computer games. I want to go out and get some exercise, but I know that I would get a serious talking to if I tried :[

Anyways, once again I have no idea what happened when I was sleeping. I just woke up at 4:40, with my alarm program turned off and my phone alarms disabled. Why does this keep happening? I really need to get a new method of waking up. I’m thinking the water pistol wake up alarm sounds pretty awesome, but as far as I know, no-one has made it apart from the person in the HowTo video. Bleh, I’m sure I’ll think of something.

Anyways, I haven’t given up yet, that’s for sure. I just hope I can get back on track before I jump off the polyphasic wagon altogether.
