Sort of successfull. It's easier now then ever to nap but at the same time I have gotten lazy and I rarely push myself to a point of sleep deprivation. Some sort of mid-way point.
It's been over a year now. Many weird, crazy, powerfull and euphoric naps later I am still doing it off and on because I can, I work at home and I am not very popular so I am usually left to my own devices.
My meal plan is going fairly well. One meal a day like nakamatsu. I cheat once in a while, like right now I am planning on it, and I may splurge on special things. Why do I want to screw up now? I drank this silhouette water and I don't like the way it has left me and I want to clean it away with something. Anyways...
I don't really have much to post right now. I may upload my dream log some time, but that probably wouldn't go over well because my dreams are so weird.
One thing, man polyphasic sleepers are grouchy! I am on an online forum and I am always attacked. I am a lazy forum lurker, I don't really care about anything, I just check my spelling and that's good enough, I talk freely, don't like long posts, and frankly I don't like reading long posts.
I will make a post, and it will be returned with so much criticism and nit picking it's fucking unreal. That's right, I swear! There has been so many little incidents, often times with some sort of acknowledgement that the person was being whiny or the person getting their post deleted but damn. I think it's because they check my profile in my blog link that's in my name, see that I am young and immediately turn into attack mode. That's just my theory. At least they're not flamers.
Anyways, hang loose bitches.

SOOO
I haven't been posting lately because as usual I am not succeeding at polyphasic napping. Why? I think I have tried to do it for so long that I don't care any more. I have developed almost a grand-mother type style of living because I work at home. I wake up around 4 am. Usually stay up till around 7:00 and then pass out till about 9-10. Then I get up and then usually have another short nap around 3:00 if I am lucky. I usually feel sick, as though I over slept immensely through out all of this. Really tired before 7, everything after, I feel as if I over slept. I know if I would just go outside and do something I would feel better but it's such a hassle to leave the apartment for some reason. I almost feel like I was doing better trying to stay awake because then I got to be on all of those no-sleep hormones that I love. It's almost sick because after napping for so long, I can pretty much sleep at any time of the day. Afternoon, morning, night. Any time. But it's not 30 minute naps, they're 2 hour naps so that's not good. Really makes you lethargic and tired because you're always able to sleep, even right after you wake up. My will power is so pathetic. The one thing that keeps me happy is that I realize that I am already working at home comfortably, I know all about polyphasic sleeping at the age of 19 aaaand I am working out more then ever and I have a really refined diet. There's a helicopter outside my window. Shining it's light right in my window! How dare it! Anyways...
I am on a diet that consists of one meal a day to help with my polyphasic sleeping. I read a report lately that studies show that eating makes you sleepy. Not drinking caffeine makes you sleepy. I dare say I am almost addicted to caffiene, I will go days without it, and once I get it I feel good, much like a beer. Otherwise I feel half as good. It sort of pisses me off. About the one meal a day plan. It states that if you are experiencing jet lag, etc after traveling. you should go a day without eating to reset your circadian rhythm so you can stay awake. I knew that eating made you sleepy from before I read this because I would always sleep after I ate. This only confirms what I already knew.
I got the idea for the one meal a day plan from Nakamats. The hardcore inventor who has a record for inventions and does polyphasic sleeping. He invented the floppy disk, the hard drive, the CD, etc. Was a genius by 12, already made a cool million from a water invention. What he does, is he takes a picture of every meal he eats after he eats it, and he only eats one meal a day. Studies show that eating more then you need is actually very bad for your intestinal system and balance of energy and not only that he analyzes the energy that he gets from each meal after the day has gone through to see what is best for him.
Today I didn't really follow through. I ate in the afternoon and ate the rest of my over-ripe fruit. But this is only day one so I am not too upset. I also recommend rolling around over-ripe banana's in blended peanuts. Tastes great. I know, I know, peanut butter on banana's. Not the same, you need crushed up peanuts! I am still fairly full and it's 23:21. By this time my stomach should be fairly empty. I am probably going to fast until NIN to enhance my concert going. I know
My vegan diet has left me feeling tired. Always tired. Not weak, as in physically weak. I am quite strong, I finish all my work outs, and do lots of push ups, I am just, sleepy. It's a bitch for polyphasic sleeping. It's not like a bad thing, I know if I just ate less I probably wouldn't be as tired, but I love food. This is why the one meal a day plan will probably help.
Caffeine, is fucking addicting. Without it you feel half alive. blaaaaa!

back on a regular scheduale
I am back at regular 4 hour intervals after attempting to sleep deprive myself into a REM cycle like I have done before. I have been working out some what fiercely, so I have found myself extremely tired, body tired, not mentally, which is a lot harder to deal with then a mental tired-ness. So they were a failure, which is truly absolutely pathetic. BUT. Not a surprise, really.
I found success by sliding into it more often then trying to jump into it. But jumping into it was the only way I could really find the super-hardcore dreams. So, what can you do. I'd rather just succeed and manage, then go through the dreams. The dreams were super hardcore-scary too, so w/e's.
Just had my first regular nap, it was nice. Looking forward to my midnight one. Hopefully work up some nice energy so I can enjoy it before the 4. I plan on playing guitar, stumbling, working on work, basketball and walks to help keep myself awake.

Those who don't know
I have been trying to do polyphasic sleeping for a year, and I have found great success and personal fulfillment doing it. It's about over coming sleep and having two times as much time to do things. Besides that it gives you a greater control over your dreams. Being a slave to sleep sucks because you have less time to do things and are literally alive half the amount until you die. Not only that but your dreams become twice as long during your twenty minute naps. Many famous people in history have successfully polynapped and talked about amazing dreams and spiritual enhancement. Man is not meant to sleep 8 hours a night. That amount of stagnancy is not good for our bodies. We should rest intermittently throughout the day, that way blood doesn't sit in one part of our body and so on. We would naturally be up for twenty four hour periods due to survival requirements. I myself have experienced out of this world dreams because of sleep cycles. They're very powerfull, as if you're coming out of a worm hole that weighs 1000 pounds. You're constantly in a state of sleep deprivation so your body is forced into REM immediately which induces these very strong dreams. Eventually your body gets use to these cycles and enforces them, making them absolutely necessary in your day. If you miss a nap you become very tired and you instantly go into your naps when you start your nap. Once you've started polyphasic sleeping, you will never sleep the same again. You naturally wake up after two hours, even if you're not sleeping normally. It's great because it teaches you sleep control even if you don't master it.

Cat naps
So I am weening myself off cap naps. I just had a 2 1/2 hour nap from 8-10:30 after I slept from 1-3 am. I feel alright. I ate some sick amount of cookies this morning because they tasted so good. Did not help. I finally figured out the proper recipe to my cookies to make decent not-crap cookies and I just overloaded on them. I also had a pretty wicked dream this morning too.
I am using the Sleep Tracker program from http://polynap.grelly.com/ which is pretty neat. I was recording it manually before by writing it down, which I often forgot to do because I am lazy. This is pretty effective at keeping results despite my bad habit.
My next nap; when I am pretty tired, a 20 minute one. I don't expect to fall asleep, then my next one I will blast my speakers super loud in the afternoon and then I might skip then I will take one in the afternoon then most likely skip the night time nap and just try to stay up all night doing something, with the help of water.
ROCK ON. Leave comments, etc.
Cody's Banana Double Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe:
IF YOU DARE.
These cookies are very easy to make, are fat free, contain no animal products and are fairly light. I ate an entire batch and I woak up feeling fairly decent after I drank a couple glasses of cayenne pepper/lemon water. I really don't recommend you do this haha...
1 cup of flour
2/3 teaspoon of baking powder mixed in with flour
Then add 4 large tablespoons of coacoa.
1 cup of brown sugar
4 large tablespoons of white sugar.
Mix together.
Now add in 3 banana's, chopped, then mush into everything.
Add 1 cup of oatmeal with 3/4 cooked oatbran and red river. You can leave out the red river and oatbran but it really thickens up the consistency to something solid when the cookies raise.
Then it is time for the chocolate chips, dairy free of course.
You want to add about a large handfull, if not more. If you want it as chocolatey as me, go nuts. I sometimes blend the chocolate chips then put it in with the coacoa and then add chocolate chips after that as well. I personally don't like them because of the soy and hydrogenated oil in them.
I added about 3 tablespoons of peanut butter which seemed to go over well.
The final ingredients (option and require tinkering for every batch) are 2 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons of nutmeg and about a tablespoon of coffee to bring out the chocolate.
The oven should be preset to 350, you want to put them in for about 8-12 minutes, until the bottom has crystalized and easily slides about the pan. Your pan should be greased.
I couldn't stop eating them.

okay!
So, after a long sleep earlier today to sleep off the bad eating I did last night I am finally feeling good enough to get back in line.
I was cat napping before, basically sleeping when ever I wanted. Which was nice, but not effective. I know if I can keep it up again, I will like last time get serious rewards for my efforts such as extremely pleasant to extremely blissfull naps to amazing dreams.
It's sorta hard, but at the same time easy. It's all about not getting mad at yourself when you fail. If you can just say "if I get up now, it's okay, I can do this again later" you don't feel as stupid.
I have another blog http://codyharmsen.blogspot.com with other interesting posts besides polyphasic sleeping if you want to read that.

I am back on 20 minute naps
After a very long break of nap taking, I have decided spur of the moment I am gonna stop being a fat pig and start taking my naps again. After I got an invitation by mens magazine to do sleep tests and I was forced to decline because I wasn't in REM cycles I kind of felt stupid because I should of been by then and I would of loved a short little special on ME. Yes, ME.
Anyways, I found this alarm that automatically goes off every 4 hours. I have realised that loud obtrusive alarms are not what wake you up, but consistent alarms. REM restriction is going to be hard, and without caffeine even harder. I have a low workload right now so this would be the best time to do it.
#1 key here, quit being a fat pig. Hell I should probably just fucking fast for a week, or at least a juice fast. It would do up all my carrots and strawberries really quickly before they go bad anyway. ANYWAY. My stomach hurts and chamomile tea is the ultimate reliever of indigestion. It's almost too good...
So, my next nap is in 4 hours. By then I should be coming down from my big coffee rush that I am on. I can set my alarm really loud because no one will be home. I expect failure as usual but i'll still just be reducing my core sleeping periods regardless. Woot.
I'll try to keep up the posts.

it's been good and bad
If I don't sleep properly, like I take a nap at the wrong time I am prone to get nightmares. Sleeping at different times raises my probability of nightmares. It's like my brain has an optimum function capability and my sleeping habits reinforce this power. When I eat and sleep with my internal clock, with naps at the right time, and no over eating, it's like I am on top of the world. Most blissful naps you could ever imagine and it's like I am walking on air. If I take a nap too early, before my brain has transfered whatever the fuck it is that regulates sleep across its membrain it's as if my body's minds defence mechanisms aren't in tack and I can be attacked by black things. When I am in a strong state of mind I literally destroy the black things. I will take a nap, and I have murdered shades before. Afterwards black things appeared above me and were extremely angry that I destroyed one of their minions. Death held it by its head and I put a bullet through it. Sounds insane I know, but if I do not sleep properly I am weak. If I sleep well I am strong like a bull in my dreams. If I eat too much my body has to use energy to digest and doesn't have as much defense in my brain.
I have not slept as well as I have wanted lately because I funked myself a few times with drinking, going to an all night club after I consumed a bunch of caffeine. Although I had a trippy morning... Meh. I am glad that I don't work. I go to karate and it's good. Yadda yadda yadda. The world can be a cruel place.

post # some #
So I have been gone for a while. I am still doing sleep cycles, but not out of choice. I can't sleep longer than 5 hours if I wanted too. I feel pretty good. Work helps me stay awake. If I get tired I just go do the stairs for some cortisol to wake me up. It has been over a year since I have had a dream like the dream that has made me want to continue doing this. Beautiful, most beautiful dream.
