BioHi, I'm Pooka, and I am insane.
My original intention was to, starting on August 15th, 2006, at about 8:00 AM, EST, get about two hours of sleep a day. I took six twenty-five minute naps every four hours, at 10:00, 2:00, and 6:00, both in the AM and PM.
This, dubbed 'monochron hexaphasic sleep' or 'Uberman's sleep schedule,' by people far cleverer than I, is supposed to be hell to adapt to, and amazing to live on. Unfortunately, my school schedule no longer permits me to sleep thusly, so after about twenty days of being hexaphasic, I'm switcihg over to a 3.5 hour and 1.5 hour 'biphasic' schedule instead.
I'll report on my experiences from the wilds of the Polyphasic Prarie, or possibly from the Tarpit of Insanity, or maybe even the Strip-Mall of Brain-Shattering Nervous Breakdowns.
Onward, upward, and up-laterward.
