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.
