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.
